Gay Cowboy Love Story vs. Hostelry Ultra-Violence
The former Ill-Informed Agitator, a denizen of Salt Lake City, pointed this one out. The Larry Miller-owned theatre in suburban SLC that refused to show Brokeback Mountain is still going to show Hostel. Apparently gruesome serial murder is less offensive to Miller's religious sensitivities than a couple of lonely male sheepherders deciding they fancy each other more than women.
WTF?
WTF?

I don't understand some people. Good call on Hostel. I guess murder isn't as bad and offensive as a love story.
I imagine most religious zealots (especially in UT) are far more OK with going to see gratuitous violence and massacre than seeing a love story involving (gasp!) two men. It may not have been a profitable film in that area, anyway.
Could be a public relations stunt, also, intended to let consumers know what a great zealot the theater management is.
Irony is completely lost on most zealots.
