Heath Ledger angry at banHeath, Heath, Heath....just because a movie is made doesn't mean that all theaters are obligated to run the movie. If the theater owners and/or operators don't want to run yours or anyone else's movie, then that's that; this isn't a communist state where the state dictates what is to be shown and what is deemed 'offensive'.HOT Oscar tip Heath Ledger yesterday compared US bans on his gay cowboy film to racism.
Ledger said he was not surprised a Utah cinema had banned Brokeback Mountain, which depicts a lifelong love affair between two Montana cowboys.
"I heard a while ago that West Virginia was going to ban it. But that's a state that was lynching people only 25 years ago, so that's to be expected," Ledger said.
"Personally, I don't think the movie is (controversial) but I think maybe the Mormons in Utah do. I think it's hilarious and very immature of a society.
Heath, you've got the 'chops' for acting - stick to it instead of sitting on a fence post crowing about what is 'racism' and what isn't. (BTW, racism is not liking a person of a specific creed or ethnic group whereas bigotry is probably the word/label you were looking for...you dumb bunny. )
[/Daffy Duck]
Do I have a problem personally with 'Brokeback Mountain'? I dunno....hadn't really planned on seeing this movie. Maybe when it comes out on DVD, but that too is doubtful. But if we're to follow Mr. Ledger's mind-set, then I'm under obligation to watch it under penalty of being called a racist bigot.
And if that's the worst that happens to me in-the-near future, then I'd be lucky.

Also in that article he says that it is "hilarious and immature" of the "Mormons in Utah" to ban the film.
Newsflash, Heath: The movie wasn't banned in Utah. ONE Theatre in Salt Lake City decided not to show it. And so what if people of a certain religion that believes the homosexuality is a sin won't go see a movie that glorifies boy kissing? If you ask me, it is very mature of someone to freakin' choose God over a homo cowboys.
