i cannot believe they're going to still have the Sundance Film Festival in Utah after the Mormon's supported prop 8. If Robert Redford was still alive he'd be outraged

zooey - robert redford is alive. hutch20 - prop 8 passed by a slim amount. All the atheists, jews, and buddhists I know voted no on prop 8 and I would have as well if I still lived in California. Anyway, Dead Snow and Black Dynamite look good.

Since Redford is alive and well I think he'll continue to have it in Utah. the boycott that they are trying to do won't keep people from attending the festival. It's the LDS church not the actual state of Utah that was supporting prop 8. Plus majority of Cali support it or it wouldn't have passed.

jhanse29 your just as stupid as zooey. your blaming the lds church too. i grew up in it and i know alot of them that did not support the prop 8. and once again you assumemost of utah is mormons your wrong. Most of utah supported it but no metter what they cant take sundance festival away no matter who tries. so dont be so ignorant.

Yeah i want to see Dead Sno and Grace, Black Dynamite sounds interesting also.

Hutch20, I don't think you understand what I put. I am LDS as well as living in Utah. I'm not blaming the LDS church that prop 8 passed but most people are. Most of those same people that are blaming the LDS are associating the entire state of Utah as supporters as well. I did not support it but most all my LDS friends did. Majority of the LDS church supported it but not all.
