Hoopeston, Ill. theater owner Greg Boardman gave "Jackass 2" the boot as he refused to play it and instead chose to shut down the theater for two weeks.
Steve Lloyd, 59, of nearby Rossville said, "They're not appropriate for really anybody, but I sure wouldn't let my kids go into one of them ... Those are his convictions and he needs to stand by them." When he refers to them, he is including "Beerfest," the beer-drinking competition film.
Boardman added, "The movies are so bad and I don't need the money ... I just didn't think I should use my high-quality facilities to show people vomiting on screen."
He also mentioned that while he understood that it cut into the few entertainment options of the small community, he wouldn't hesitate to do it again if that was all the quality of films that Hollywood had to offer.
As of this posting, Paramount Pictures, producer of "Jackass 2," hasn't responded.
Anyone think this is going to grow beyond a one-time response?
