I must say that for those who turned in their ballots, WEAK SPECIES, surprisingly rated higher than I imagined. It ranked third in this program just behind THE WINDOW and THE ISLAND. Anyway, I know this is old news but I still wanted to post some of the more colorful comments from the ballots. Some of them were people who never posted their positive comments on here. I skipped the ones that were either similar or those that sound like from people who appear to have posted their thoughts here in the blog already.<br /><br />So here goes ...Michael Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931525938685115641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206982122096688658.post-73929903949215933292009-10-19T17:04:58.911-04:002009-10-19T17:04:58.911-04:00The extent of the response to this controversial s...The extent of the response to this controversial shorts program indicates its value. Of course, we should have such "Image Out There" material in the festival. But I would prefer to avoid nightmares from, and persistent uncomfortable mental returns to, such material as the torture of innocent children by avoiding the films myself in the future. I would never sanction censorship, and I understand the value of edgy [read "ugly"] pictures of gay life [in many senses of "pictures"]. But I personally cannot help but be disturbed by the thought of what image of gay life such explorations would provide a mainstream, straight viewer. We complain loudly about homophobic politicians' comparing gay life to incest, bestiality, and pedophilia. But many of these films include all those comparisons and a lot more horrifying ones. I'd fight against any effort to suppress such explorations, but I'm still disturbed by their damaging connections to topics like gay rights, gay equality, and gay lifestyles.Herb Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856344474743071098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206982122096688658.post-43627540997037839522009-10-15T09:33:11.966-04:002009-10-15T09:33:11.966-04:00Jessica & Michael,

It’s a tough job to try and make all the people happy all the time! Since we all play a part in making the festival a success, it is good to have a forum to express concerns and know that are being heard. That’s all I except from the process. Thanks again for all you do!Richardnoreply@blogger.com
