An Invitation...To Captivity

Happy Captivity Day! Here is some information for you -- whether you're celebrating by watching Elisha Cuthbert get tortured half to death or if you plan to observe the big day quietly at home with a book.

By now I trust we’re all familiar with the film and the controversy. Not just about the film -- but about the marketing.

Although the movie’s original offending billboards were quickly yanked the damage (magic?) had been done and the film suddenly became a lightning rod in a raging debate about the direction that horror films have taken.

The Suicide Girls helped usher in a new era in torture porn er..gorn…I mean horror at the premiere party at Hollywood’s Privilege nightclub.

This gentleman seems to do fine in captivity (parties)

(you can tell he's a gentleman from his sharp attire.)

A fine time was had by all at the premiere. Except the MPAA who are now rating party decorations as well as films and film advertisements. Yes, the MPAA drove by the premiere party (they only have one car -- long story) and became quite irate. They rang the film's producers and demanded that the origianally-banned billboards that were hung as decorations for the bash be re-removed. Jeez! WhatEVER!!!

It remains to be seen if audiences will judge the Elisha Cuthbert film directed by Roland Joffe film on its merits. On Friday the 13th, you’ll get to see for yourself.

However you feel about Captivity and its marketing, filmmakers should not be held hostage by the MPAA and told how to market their films, let alone how they decorate their parties. The MPAA already does their job not so well. Let's not add to their already bungled work load.
