Title: Re: paleonet Bible Belt creationists threaten IMAX film in

All I'm saying is, taken at their word, the IMAX folks can't be expected to operate at a loss, whether we're talking about individual theaters or the entire chain (and, of course, the individual theater and the entire chain are pretty much synonymous within the markets of Charleston, Ft. Worth, etc.).

As Rich Lane as noted, the IMAX in Fort Worth has changed it's mind.  Perhaps they have realized that the more (free) publicity that a film gets, the better attendance is likely to be.

Gee, what a revelation (no pun intended) - the Free Marketplace, where people have to make a profit to even exist, isn't necessarily the best place in the world to champion a truth that's not always profitable.

It would be nice if some group existed to encourage people to go to media offerings that are progressive and well done.  Why does the opposition always seem so vocal and monolithic and the proponents so passive and fragmented?
