  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Better headline: Theater owners don't want this movie in their theaters.

“Every theater’s like, ‘No. We don’t feel like we have the audience for this movie,” she told NTD’s David Lam in an interview.

One of the theaters told her it supports Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country, Williams told Lam.

[Even if this latter assertion is true, one theater is not "abortion proponents trying to derail" anything.]

From what I read ,she was arrested to blocking access to to the door. That's against the law. And I believe other people medical issues is none of her business.

“Every theater’s like, ‘No. We don’t feel like we have the audience for this movie,”
That makes sense, this is a very niche movie from the sounds of it from a virtual unknown, and is a dramatization featuring a bunch of actors nobody has ever heard of, and theater franchise owners do have a "gotta put butts in the seats" business model they have to adhere to.

For whatever it's worth, Matt Walsh's 2024 movie "Am I racist?" (Walsh is a well-known controversial figure in right-wing mediasphere) was in over 1500 theaters nationwide and made $12 million on a $3 million budget. So if those individual theaters had owners/managers that had an blanket anti-conservative bias, they would've quickly refused to carry his movie.



Point of reference, theaters are increasingly leveraging social media interaction and YouTube trailer stat metrics in gauging potential audience interest and box office performance forecasting.

This "Pardon Me" movie she's making...

The official YouTube account for it has only 440 subscribers, and has only had a total of 8000 views and 22 comments (ouch lol...I'm pretty sure I've posted .net Core tutorial/review videos that have racked up bigger numbers for views and comments...and those are boring screenshare videos showing me making simple example applications)

Whereas, Walsh's movie:

If her "Pardon Me" movie was drawing the same kind of social media interest as Walsh's movie, they would've been just as happy to carry her right-leaning movie the same way they were happy to carry Walsh's movie.


tl/dr version: "Money talks"



“It just drops on me — Boom! Use the churches!” she said. “There’s more churches in America than there will ever be theaters.”
This would be, quite literally, preaching to the converted.

The good thing of it is that the movie will have been made for posterity's sake. People years from now will be able to see the ignorant and wrong choices of the left liberals on the abortion issue.

I’m sure it will be referred to often and not dropped on the ever growing used media heap and forgotten.

Thanks. I’m certainly trying.

Yes, you are trying but you are trying by arguing for the world to become worse again by allowing abortion. So, no matter how hard you try, good will always stand in your way.

It’s not quite that simplistic but I have no problems with my stance.

Do we think these churches (showing this film) are going to be crammed full of atheists and prochoice folk?
If not it’s not “iron sharpening iron”, it’s one blade being super-duper sharp and the other rusted and dull, and the rusted and dull side doesn’t ever meet the SDS side.

Don’t get me wrong, I loves me some “dueling-scriptures”, it’s a great game to help sharpen (ahem) our debating skills for those so inclined to use their own sacred texts to win a philosophical “battle”.
This don’t fit though.

No. But media can be used to help people learn more information.
