- LETTERS, Page 12Double Standard in Hollywood
-
- Hollywood's opposition to the distribution of Wired, the
- film about comedian John Belushi and his death from a drug
- overdose (SHOW BUSINESS, April 24), is a blatant display of
- hypocrisy. Isn't this the same constituency that came out
- strongly in favor of The Last Temptation of Christ as an example
- of free speech? Do these moviemakers favor freedom of expression
- only when it offends someone else, not when it criticizes one
- of their own? Perhaps they could take the advice given so often
- to opponents of Last Temptation: If you are opposed to the
- movie, then don't go to see it.
