Trust Me, You Don't Want to See That

What is it with Edwards Valencia Grand Palace 12 (a.k.a. the local theater) and their refusal to show movies with controversial (read political or moral) subject matter? If you wanted to see Brokeback Mountain, Good Night and Good Luck, or even Farenheit 9/11 (not sure if they showed Syriana, I forgot to check) you had to go to Canyon Country for the closest showing....and even they took a while to get the two latter titles up on the big screen. If it is a shortage of film reels (as was used as an excuse for not showing Brokeback Mountain), then why is it that Canyon Country is the one to get the available reels? Why is Edwards Valencia deciding (cough *censoring* cough) for John Q. Public which movies should be seen?

I think there is more to it than that. They certainly had no trouble showing that family oriented, "feel good" movie, Match Point...well, I'm sure it did make one's nether regions "feel good", but not in a moral or virtuous sort of way (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Kudos to Edwards Canyon Country for having the testicular fortitude in letting the public decide for themselves which movies they'd like to see.
