BiBottomBoy Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Kevin Smith has intentionally leaked a hi-def version of his new movie Red State on the Internet in advance of it's September 25 official theatrical release. He's done so because the major distribution companies at Sundance were afraid to distribute a film that is so pro-gay and controversial in many other ways. So, he's having to distribute it himself and since he's out of pocket for making the film doesn't have an advertising budget so he's hoping on Internet word of mouth. Therefore you can download it for free without any guilt (just try to talk about it after you see it.) The link is here: http://www.kat.ph/red-state-2011-vodrip-xvid-sic-t5795608.html I downloaded it last night and the film is awesome - though not for you if blood and guts bothers you. The general story is simple. The FBI finally gets tired of the Westboro Baptist Church (The "God Hates Fags" people) and a very violent armed standoff ensues. But, there are deeper themes about the meaning of faith, the role of government in our lives and how faith can be distorted. It's a fast violent film, but also a thoughtful one. John Goodman gives the performance of his career as an FBI agent who has his faith in his superior officers severely tested. The best scene in the movie is when he asks the Special Agent In Charge why he let the slaughter happen and the SAC responds "Why? Because fuck these types of people. That's why." Anyway it's a very pro gay rights film and it would help Smith convince movie theaters to show it (many of whom are afraid to because they are worried that crazy Christians will picket their theaters if they do) if word of mouth on sites you post to or blogs you write on start talking about it. So, yeah, do Kevin a favor and watch the film and then find someway to tell someone about it. Quote
