Can we see the films without the audiences?
As a long-time fantasy fan and writer, I've been eagerly awaiting the new Narnia movie, having read the books and seen both the bad cartoon version and the BBC production with the good acting and the Doctor Who-level costuming and special effects. Busloads of fundamentalist Christians, however? Urk. About as appealing as the gay activists who have sworn to see Brokeback Mountain multiple times, whether or not it's any good. Having liked the actors turns in Donnie Darko and The Brothers Grimm, I might want to see that film as well, despite the chick flick quality, but I'd really like to be able to do it alongside people who are there to see the movie, not support the cause, whatever they perceive it to be.
Why not just buy a movie ticket because you want to see the film?
