I agree that IF the OP was so affected by this....then leave. Name the movie too so others can be aware. I see he/she's also only posted twice. Probably a troll as others stated!! As a side-note, we don't go to movies much anymore. We'll wait til we can stream them at home.

I'm so sorry the theater manager held a gun to your head and made you sit there and watch. What did the police do when they came to deal with an active hostage situation?

I so agree with you. Last year I took a group of 6 to the Savanna to see a show about the 80’s and was most uncomfortable. I guess that is just showing my age but I did ask for a refund and no one would respond to me. I’ll be very careful to choose wisely in the future. I had always enjoyed any show before and didn’t think I would ever see this distasteful entertainment in The Villages.

I recently read a book that was great, but I won't mention the title or the author. Did anyone else read it?
Do you mean the book about something that should be censored? Written by I can't remember his name?

But not that easy. The OP wants the theater to remove the show. He/she is attempting to appoint themselves censor of all things "entertaining" based on whatever moral standards they believe everyone else should abide by. And nobody else can decide what their own moral compass indicates since he/she won't even name the movie. And they start a second thread for the same topic. I'm sticking with the assessment from the other thread-----TROLL

Yes, but no need to worry about it now, "they" burned it

Gosh we are so lucky to have a censor living right here, to tell us what movies we can and shouldn't go see. What? He didn't tell us what movie? Just that we shouldn't see it? Okay then.

It's called Dumb Money. Anyone who goes to an "R" rated movie starring Pete Davidson and Seth Rogen and then gets offended over some coarse language is not a reasonable person. Most reviews are actually pretty good for the movie.

Was the op forced to see this movie? Did the op get up and leave when they heard this? If you don’t like nudity, swearing, fighting, adult situations, then limit your viewing to ‘G’ rated movies and you will be fine. We all have the power to view any movie we want to see, I would hate to be limited to what I can see because somebody doesn’t like swearing.

So you do not approve so nobody should be able to see it? Seriously

My reference to The National Legion Of Decency was to point out how absurd the OP's post was. But good catch on knowing about it.
