- thinking500, on 11/16/2008, -0/+8It's awful that Stock want to profit from Harvey after slapping his legacy in the face. Disgusting. Go Justin Green!!
- sfronnie, on 11/16/2008, -0/+6I will forgo the kettle corn and the faux leather seats for this! SHAME!
- MarkDoty, on 11/16/2008, -0/+6If you look at Cinemark's website, you'll note that they seem to have a huge number of theaters in really conservative areas.
No surprise there... - JohnEarlSpencer, on 11/16/2008, -1/+6Fear is the only true enemy, born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate.
Edward Albert
Time to smack fear where it hurts...the pocketbook. Let us not forget the many gay friends that rely on Cinemark for their jobs...a boycott is good...some good signage and protests might be better. - Neovenator, on 11/16/2008, -0/+5I will be hard-pressed to find a non-Cinemark theater near me, but I will do what it takes to not give Cinemark my money when I see this film.
I'd like to see a list of other businesses that supported Prop 8 so I can avoid their bigoted services. - bdng02, on 11/17/2008, -0/+5I will never go to a Cinemark again. That guy is disgusting! NO MILK!!!!!
- sninky-chan, on 11/16/2008, -1/+6"assassinated" :)
- ahoogen, on 11/16/2008, -0/+4I think that this is a good start, boycotting Cinemark. But I do think that a larger boycott needs to happen, and not just in California. Businesses from all over the country supported Prop 8. We should look to the Coors boycott for inspiration here.
- birdyspice, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4Please remember that "Cinemark" is also “Century”, “CinéArts”,
and “Tinseltown” theater chains. Don't patronize any of them to see Milk.
Even better, try not to patronize them at all!!! - GregLewisCMT, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2Let's see, a rightwinger donates to a Yes On 8 campaign and then tries to exploit the death of Milk for profit - yeah, that sounds about right.
- inactive, on 11/19/2008, -0/+3Never heard of Cinemark. Milk is not a nationally shown movie, either. However I Dugg it anyway!
You need to do more about promoting the movie itself, not about fighting theatres which might be owned by unsympathetic owners. It's like the movie "Cruising" back in the eighties. They wanted it banned from theatres, it just made more people see it. - JuneClippers, on 11/16/2008, -0/+3Nice research. I went to the movies this weekend and made sure it wasn't a Cinemark Theater thanks to your blog!
- sjmatt, on 11/16/2008, -0/+3i like this idea. I would also like so see a list of those who contributed to the No on 8 campaign so we can support them
- rebelwithcauses, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2"If my money should go toward this movie, let that money destroy H8"
-Me
I dig - montanamouse, on 11/16/2008, -0/+2oops, Digg's spell check didn't work. Sorry, I haven't had much sleep. Thanks for the Digg, and the correction.
- inkedbull, on 11/17/2008, -0/+2Good on you man, entertainment crosses all our lives and we should stick together when someone uses our money to help water down our rights
- csc102grma, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2I can't believe what Cinemark is doing here...what bigotry!!
- oep4, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2DUGG
- sharonjackson, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Good bye Cinemark.
I love it when the owners of corporations get found out And by talking together, we know what its about.
And because of the internet the whole world knows That the Emperor has no Clothes
haha! - birdyspice, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2It's disgusting that a bigot will profit from his hate. I can't imagine giving Cinemark a dollar to watch "MILK". Wow.
I am going to try and work on putting info on Yelp for all the businesses that gave money to "Yes on 8". While most might forget to check the blacklist of certain businesses, they'll go to Yelp and see my review how those people contributed to hate. It's a long list and it'll take lotsa time. :( - Typodactyl, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Not only for Milk, but I can't imagine myself visiting a Cinemark theater for any movie.
- Frederf, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2Sneaky bastard.
- nicksf94110, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2check it out:

-Harvey Milk - emdubs, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2The CEO of a company represents the values and vision of a company. On the one hand this company supports taking away civil rights on the other they look to profit on the story of a slain civil rights leader.
- NotaMormon, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2No Milk and Cookies (Read Cookies=Gay Dollars)!
- spartanofauburn, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Not this time, ya sneaky bastards.
- djchai, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Not going to get my money!
- steward39, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Signage and protests increase Cinemark's business. (If you look at their site they have many theatres in Central and South America, a largely Roman Catholic market. Anti-gay plays well with practicing Roman Catholics.)
Boycotts decrease Cinemark's business, especially in the United States as opposed to points south.
Do you want Cinemark and its management to have MORE money to spend on anti-human-rights causes, or LESS money?
If you are concerned about friends who work at Cinemark... movie theatres tend to pay low wages anyway, help your friends find other jobs in places where they are not degraded as human beings.
I've never heard of Edward Albert... has he led any successful social justice causes?
Contrast that quote with the following from the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.:
We shall overcome.
Deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome.
You know, I've joined hands so often with students and others behind jail bars singing it, we shall overcome.
Sometimes we've had tears in our eyes when we joined together to sing it, but we still decided to sing it, we shall overcome
Oh, before this victory's won, some will have to get thrown in jail some more, but we shall overcome.
Don't worry about us. Before the victory's won, some of us will lose jobs, but we shall overcome.
Before the victory's won, even some will have to face physical death. But if physical death is the price that some must pay to free their children from a permanent psychological death, then nothing shall be more redemptive. We shall overcome.
Before the victory's won, some would be misunderstood and called bad names and dismissed as rabble rousers, and agitators, but we shall overcome.
And I tell you why: We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.
We shall overcome because Carlisle is right, "No lie can live forever."
We shall overcome because William Cullen Bryant is right: "Truth crushed to earth will rise again."
We shall overcome because James Russell Lowell is right: Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne, yet that scaffold sways the future and behind the dim unknown standeth God within the shadows keeping watch above his own."
I note in passing that 42 years after this speech was given... an African-American is President-Elect of the United States of America.
Can you envision a gay or lesbian President by the year 2050? You're not going to get one just with signs or being worried about losing jobs. - ustrixie, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1No way no how. And I am letting everyone know. Good thing I have a big mouth.
- johngorman, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1No way!
- mcoughlinsf, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1"Never blend in."
- ahoogen, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1You can also wait for the movie to come out on DVD, and not see it in a theater at all if there aren't any alternative venues other than Cinemark around you.
- adampictures, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I don't know of a single theater in Utah that is not Cinemark. I pray that they come to their senses and stop supporting discrimination, but until then, they won't get my family's money to see movies.
- spartacus3, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I wonder what Sean penn would think of this travesty of human rights?
- Johninco, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Century-Cinemark is big here in CO, they won't see my money
- kenlevens, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1The CEO of this company donated
- amaurys, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1LET IT BEGIN!!!
- czar2004, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I refuse to support our oppressors!!!
- susilou, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1We can start with Apple. $100,000 to NO on 8
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail? ... - LanSensei, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1If the CEO of Cinemark felt OK to donate $9,999 (salary from working for Cinemark) to Yes on Prop. 8 then I refuse to spend my money at his business. Prop. 8 was not just some dumb initiative to widen roads or give chickens bigger cages to roam around in. Prop. 8 was about taking away an existing civil right from a minority group of people. That's wrong. Yes, Mr. Stock has the right to do wrong things with his money if he so chooses. Just like I have the right to use my money how I choose. And I choose to NOT spend it at Cinemark or ANY of its subsidiaries, I.E. Cinemark, Century, CineArts or Tinseltown.
- montanamouse, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1You could try http://antigayblacklist.com/
- adamkratt, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I can not believe this .. Supervisor Milk was of two groups that Cinemark CEO Stock supports the discrimination of. Jews and Gays. All Jewish and LGBT movie goers need to go to a theater that is not affiliated with Cinemark. How can This be allowed. Shame on Stock and shame on Cinemark. It is unconsiousable that Stock who supports making gays second class citizens and who supports desecration of Jewish souls should make money on a movie about a Gay Jewish politician
- hollymiceli, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1So much money donated, sure we want to follow the Bible & do what is right, but there's a misinterpretation of it. And this misinterpretation supports hate....hate leads to killing. It's not right to support Prop Hate.
- ryanrayla, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1On Nov. 26th, I'll choose to take my Milk elsewhere!!
- zenroxy94114, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Justin, thanks for starting this backlash (I assume you are with the Movie Bears).
Love this perfect example of Democracy, where those that voted for Prop 8 felt they had the right to vote for it, then let them feel the consequences of the back hand of such Democracy. No one has the right to take OUR basic civil rights away. Love is Love, and Marriage is the Union between two individuals who vow to love one another through it all. Those that think they are protecting the sanctity of "marriage" by denying it to us, are the most hypocritical of all. This is just the beginning of our anger.
Let it roar!!! - jimbeezy88, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Bigotry is disgusting. Get rid of marriage in law. Write in civil unions if you like, and give them to all couples; straight, gay, red, green, blue, tall, short, really short, really tall, fat, orange, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Zoroastrian, Animist -- whatever.
Don't discriminate in the law, it's that simple. - kenlevens, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0Good, folks should see this movie, just NOT at Cinemark. Word up!
- hollymiceli, on 11/19/2008, -0/+0thanks!
