I agree, it would be a real shame if it didn't make theatres. My thought on publicity though; I think the best thing it could do is stir up an AS frenzy. Yeah, that sounds like it would really really suck for quite a while because it would be a carnival of ignorance that we just couldn't get ourselves away from, we'd get criticized much more directly for having AS, have just as many people hate us overnight as the number of people who'd get sickeningly smarmy with us, but guess what - that would be a sure fire way of also knowing that a few years later everyone from the best people out there to the most shallow dips would eventually know the real truth and bottom line about AS (when the media fair image from the beginning became 'uncool' and unpolished).
I guess when I say that I'm looking at the gay rights thing, how that blew up, and where it's at now and really think that the AS thing will probably blow up and simmer down the same way.
