Well no. Because when people make movies that has everybody lining up beforehand to decide what the movie says, what the movie means, and that the movie is the most important/most damaging cultural artifact since Cher then generally people don't feel any need to actually watch it. Why risk having what is already known shown to be wrong?
But it wasn't a comment about ratings but rather a comment about being comfortable with preconceived notions. When Jerry Falwell condemned
Brokeback Mountain without actually seeing it his view was rightly disregarded. I feel the same way here.
