Back it up, big boy.

Disclaimer: The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of sources including actual historic photos and other published materials. The movie is not a documentary. For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, as well as time compression.

PS... The final edit of this production is incomplete, so any criticism is premature and irresponsible.

So far, the edits are not that substantial and poorly done:Skipping the Path

So it seems the world continues to spin on the expected axis.

Everybody formed opinions before they had seen the movie, defended those opinions with the statements of paraphrased support/criticisms of interested parties, some of whom had but most of whom had not seen the movie, decided not to actually watch the movie, and now feel that their initial opinions have been validated by what was shown but not actually experienced.

So by that logic, a studios best chance for ratings is to create the biggest piece of crap they can come up with. Something that is sure to offend everyone. That way everyone HAS to watch it or be deemed closed minded. Oh wait, I think I just explained network programming in a nutshell.

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.

I tried to watch it, but got a dubious "recording error" on my DVR when I returned home, In 'n Out burger in hand. I am quite sure that "the Commodore" snuck in and secretly fed cheerios to my DVR to keep it from recording that show and that show alone. Crap!
