Those of you involved in the evolution discussion might find this news story from CNN interesting:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/23/volcano.movie.ap/index.html

The opening paragraph follows:

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- IMAX theaters in several Southern cities have decided not to show a film on volcanoes out of concern that its references to evolution might offend those with fundamental religious beliefs.

The article mentions a Charleston, SC, IMAX theater, perhaps this one:

Charleston IMAX® Theatre 
360 Concord Street
Charleston,  SC  29401  USA
(843) 725-IMAX (4629)
