If it's offensive don't watch. ">
And though I couldn't accept a year's screen pass to sit through "Hostel" or
any of its ilk, I agree with Erik 1000%!!!

PS-- For what it's worth department: We feared that, due to pressure from a
particularly meddlesome preacher (remember "Becket?"), that Wichita Falls, TX,
would not show "Brokeback Mountain"-- despite the fact that Larry McMurtry
(producer/writer) is from thirty miles away-- Archer City, TX-- location . But
it will open at the new Cinemark Theatre on Friday.
"Hostel" is already playing.
