Othercott?

If my work schedule and circumstances permit, I plan to attend some other movie when the Unnameable Movie premieres. Protesting can be counter-productive in simply bringing free publicity to the object of the protest. Boycotting silently, so-to-speak, may allow the "Hollywood machine" (Careful, the word Hollywood is almost always a sign of a rant coming) to advertise their way to a box office success, at least on the first weekend. That, in turn, they would try to parley into further success. (A general rule for consideration is that the more advertising you see on a movie in advance of it's premier when you've never even heard of it, the more likely it's a disaster and should be avoided).

In the meantime, here's a good article for your edification.

Thanks to Mike Aquilina at The Way of the Fathers for the link.
