Talk:Taxi to the Dark Side

message: This supposed issue caused quite a stir:
Stir on the internet
via Boing Boing:
ThinkFilm is releasing Alex Gibney's documentary "Taxi To The Dark Side" and submitted a poster for MPAA approval which featured a photo of two soldiers leading away a handcuffed and hooded man. The MPAA rejected it as being "not suitable for audiences of all ages".
The hypocrisy of this, in the face of posters for horror/slasher flicks like "Saw" and "Hostel", is astounding. Censorship pure and simple.
But, it turns out it may not be true? Kinda confusing since the original Variety article makes it very clear from the various quotes via ThinkFilm, etc. that they are, indeed, referring to a poster and not a trailer, so I'm still wondering what's really going on here?
Correction 
By VARIETY STAFF
The MPAA did not approve a theatrical trailer for Alex Gibney's documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side" that contained scenes with nudity and images that the org deemed inappropriate for all audiences. ThinkFilm has not yet officially submitted the one-sheet art referenced in a Dec. 19 story, but Daily Variety failed to indicate that it was the trailer that was rejected and not the one-sheet artwork.

message: I am puzzled by the fact that there is no section for criticism of the film: have the (American) right wingers really not found this wikipedia entry yet!? (Note that I am certainly not one of them.)  I somtimes enjoy conservative critques that one can usually so easily see through.  I guess there arent many possible of this particular films contents and thesis and any that could raised be would probably just make those raising them look silly.  Perhaps however there is a simpler explanantion: the film doesnt seem to have been screened on American TV yet (that notoriously imperfect and right wing institution). Note it is oh so incrediblely illuminating (for the open minded, perceptive, and particularly Chomskian analysts amoungst us) that its screening is not intended until after George Bush departs the Whitehouse. OMG! need i say more...? 122.148.173.37 (talk) 14:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The 5th paragraph under the heading "Plot" reads: "Looking at the exposures of Abu Graib and the humiliations brought about by Linndie England and others, it claims these were systematically introduced at Bagram under the direction of Cpt Caroline Wood, under the command of Col Lawrence Wilkerson." The last name is linked to the page on this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Wilkerson , but reading the article on him it seems very unlikely if not impossible that this is the same person referred to here. I hope a more experienced editor can check this and correct it if necessary. hillwalker (talk) 21:02, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: hillwalker well spotted. Not only are you correct about Wilkerson, but the 'Caroline Wood' referred to above is probably Carolyn Wood. Little is added by naming these people unless they are inportant to the film, so I've removed all three names.Pincrete (talk) 22:32, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
