Ein Leserbrief bringt die faule Ausrede mit dem angeblich mangelhaften künstlerischen Anspruch des Films auf den Punkt:
What about Orgazmo?
Theres something odd about the Salt Lake Films Society decision not to screen the now-controversial gay- and Mormon-themed "Latter Days." Brooke Harper, the societys executive director, has said that she declined to book the film because of its lack of artistic merit. The film, she says, is "awful" and "embarrassing." Its also, she has also told a correspondent, "replete with embarrassing stereotypes of gay people and gay culture."
No doubt the local gay community appreciates Harpers looking out for their best interests. But I am bemused that the societys concern for artistic merit didnt keep them from screening the crude, lowbrow comedy "Orgazmo" at the Tower. The society claims to be averse to screening awful and embarrassing stereotypes of gay people, but theyll show awful and embarrassing stereotypes of Mormons for a mere $5 a head.
