Plus, I don't think I can say it too many times: no one would know you otherwise. Crotchity old coot.
What a snotty thing to write. Even reading the wiki article makes it abundantly clear that plenty of people would know who Siegenthaler is. He's been in public life since the early 1960's, worked for an attorney general, was active in the civil rights movement, scuffled with the FBI, written books, first editorial director of USA Today, etc. (Dare I ask what you've done?)
Someone posted information that he was involved in murdering someone he worked for and was friends with. Yeah, quite crotchety of him to be upset by that.
You people need to get out more.
the movie industry is exactly that -- an industry. it's a business. if the only people who come to see your movie are hardcore fans, you're screwed. besides, most of the fans are going to see the movie anyway.
that's the calculation the studios make. why is this so hard to understand?
the movie was not dumbed down the way hollywood often does it (cf. catwoman). i saw it last night with my wife, who had never read the books and is a pretty tough critic, and she really enjoyed it.

point taken. but sam rockwell was quite great nonetheless.
This movie should have been made for FANS only.
