I heard about this yesterday, and I have to say that it's one of the most moronic things I've ever come across.

The LGBT banner sums up the whole bloody point of the film, doesn't it!!

Aaargghhhh!!!

What do they think of their buying public, for heaven's sake?That they have no brains?
Aarrrgggh indeed! >:(

Not to mention the fact that it's actually been distributed there, and our release day has slipped to March or something. So they get it, but they can't help messing it up.

*fume*

Honestly, it never occurred to me that they might do that. It's so - blatant! Ridiculous!

Do you know, that little inequity hadn't occurred to me. Damn them!!! >:((((

But - in better news - Pride is up for Best British Film at the BAFTAs. Ought to be a shoo-in, surely!

It's up against the Turing film (name escapes me atm, although I know it, I do) and I do hope it wins. I haven't seen the Turing one, but people whose opinion I value were rather unimpressed. Adding a female interest is one thing, but adding the suggestion that he kept quiet about 'the spy' for fear of being outed - that's outrageous and I am not impressed.

So yes, Pride had better win everything it's up for!
