So many arguments hinge on this being a business - which it is - but neglect that it is also an art, or at least a craft.<BR/><BR/>A film shouldn't be sacrificed to punish a business.

While it's a shame a director's film might be sacrificed in this, it comes down to a bad business decision by the people who purchased the film in the first place.

I've seen other images in society that in my opinion would be much more damaging to children. I agree that screwing the film makers for what is probably a very bad movie is over blowing things by a lot.<BR/>To me this just barely crosses the line and reminds people with traumatic memories of bad events.
