I'm totally with you on the "if you don't like the movies then vote with your wallet" train. There's room for things that you both like and don't like in the media and you can avoid the things you don't like pretty easily with technical marvels like the V chip, responsibility, and the power button.
I think this leads to a much bigger issue though: people as a whole don't want to think critically anymore, and a work of art that challenges their viewpoints is a risk to that. Art exists to confirm as well as to offend, and if you only choose to stick to one side you will never get the full effect.

We need that always in this country. This movie is said to fall in line with "A Clockwork Orange" and "1984" using images and references that are very subjective in nature. But if 9/11 hadn't happened, no one would be squaking about this movie "promoting terrorism"... The same could have been said for "Clockwork" promoting rape.
Besides, is it really promoting "terrorism"?? I guess the terrorists on 9/11 did succeed if people are so freaked out about terrorism we are lowered to debating this movie!!... If anyone read the history what this movie is based on, besides a comic, it has its roots in the true story of Englishman Guy Falkes trying to blow up Parliment in the early 1600s. He wanted to do it because Britian was persecuting everyone that didn't conform to their brand of religion and way of life. If he had succeeded, he'd probably be seen as a freedom fighter today -- and he is in many ways.

The people is only attacked verbally and asked to take back responsibility. So it's more a revolution than terrorism. But of course supporters of any given system will call revolutioneers terrorists.
