I think I have a moral duty

[drwex]

...to go see this film if at all possible: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6173399/Charles-Darwin-film-too-controversial-for-religious-America.html

I will be grateful to anyone who can point me to showings in the eastern MA area. I'm guessing there's a chance it'll show up at some of the local art houses.

I feel obligated to point to the discussion in the comments on that post, making the entirely plausible argument that the "too controversial to show" claim is just marketing.

I saw that

but that just means it's up to me to make my own evaluation, innit?

Sure. Just wanted to make sure that your sense of moral obligation wasn't being fed solely by the initial post.

Sounds interesting. "Too controversial" is obvious marketing, and possibly a bargaining maneuver to draw in some more bidders. I expect to be able to see it here in Texas without much trouble.

Well, more trouble than seeing any other movie . . . babysitters are the limiting factor.
