Good grief! The producers should have realized the fear in Americans regarding terrorist.

Also, it is Muskogee, Oklahoma and the fear of anything that does not smell/look/sound like an Okie freaks them out.

people are just extreme these days.. they take everything to the extreme.. a movie trailer is just a movie trailer.. how come hollywood can make a movie about terrorists but your average joe cant? and his movie isnt even about terrorists... all i can do is sigh and roll my eyes at this one.

Muskogee Police and the FBI investigating a movie trailer?? Wow.....do we come across as a bunch of ignorant hillbillies or what?

GOOD GRIEF, (4/12/2008 2:49:37 PM)

GOOD GRIEF !!!!!
THE SKY IS FALLING
THE SKY IS FALLING
RUN RUN

Look @ what your govt. has done to you!! All of you. Can we not walk to our car, use the restroom, or eat out for dinner w/out being afraid?

Yes, the govt. has used scare tacticts to captivate the american people over the past 7 years. The patriot act (3000 pages) was signed right after Sept attacks. Who read 3000 pages to see what it all means before voting? Noone...the govt. now has more centralized power and your rights are violated.

Now, they are coming to every american with a "Tax Rebate" to save us from, well, US! These scare tactics and "oh we need you big govt" campaigns do not work in the long run. They only fuel the fire. Sorry but we have all been let down on this one.

jtg, Tulsa (4/12/2008 3:16:36 PM)

OMG. The Muskogee Police contacted the FBI??? What a bunch of imbeciles. Ignorance has a price, folks... Absolutely ridiculous. They should be apologizing the film's producers, not pulling their submission.

jim, tulsa (4/12/2008 3:27:23 PM)

haha muskogee...a terrorist threat?
i didnt know there is something else besides cattle in muskogee..

larry, tulsa (4/12/2008 3:51:36 PM)

Aren't you glad your tax dollars are going to such good use? Let's get law inforcement involved in a promo over a horror movie! Yeeehaw, ain't it grand we live in Okiehoma?

Hmm, Muskogee (4/12/2008 3:51:45 PM)

Living in Muskogee is scary enough, a filmed threat isn't anything compared to the gang problem.

Blame the Mexicans, (4/12/2008 4:13:15 PM)

Wasn't HB 1804 supposed to stop this stuff? Call the Outraged Patriots to get these movie makers!!!!!!

That same Festival at one time honored Merle Haggard's "I'm Proud to Be an Okie from Muskogee."
--
The song was a tongue-in-cheek song written by two men who had never even lived in Oklahoma, let alone lived in Muscogee.
--
Haggard's parents were Checotah natives; but, he was born in Bakersfield, CA.
--
What was the "end that was coming" in that movie trailer on You Tube? It was the end of waiting to see the short film, "A Beautiful Day for the Lord's Work."

Why not investigate, Tulsa (4/12/2008 5:02:02 PM)

Why not investigate? It was determined to be a movie trailer, it is the festival's decision to pull it, not the police, not the FBI.

Look at the OKC Bombing and 911, you all are probably the same ones who scream the government knew or should have known and did not investigate.

Go somewhere and implode.

Dan Luther, Claremore (4/12/2008 6:11:12 PM)

When are people going to stop being such frightened, fearful, childish cowards?!?

I for one am growing less compassionate and understanding towards people whose lives are dominated by fear of terrorism. And the thing is the Bible predicted this very sign of the end times ("men's hearts failing them for fear").

If people want to live their lives in fear, that's their business. But when people cannot put two dates together and not only not come to a completely logical conclusion, but rather arrive at a totally illogical one, then it behooves those of us with more level heads to say to people like Brad Holt: You're a coward. You're not making people safer, and this extreme buffoonery on your part should -- and will -- mark you. In yellow.

Closing a school indefinitely out of terrorist fears because someone wrote some cryptic graffiti, or reacting badly to a enigmatic "YouTube" video will only make it that much more of a game to those would disrupt the normal course of our lives.

Grow up people, and stop being such "scaredey-cats". It makes you look pathetic.

stupid okies from muskogee. thinks every shadow is a terrorist, too, i suppose.

Miah, Haskell (4/12/2008 6:36:50 PM)

Oooooooo..... Tulsa beware cause you will be smashed this SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY... (this was suppose to be reference to a monster truck rally for all retarded/mentally disabled/ IQ Challaged/ or whatever the the correct PC term is for it) This is why the world is the way it is; cause little Timmy might see something like this video and get offended or scared... What should scare little Timmy is that he is on the computer and not spending time with his parents because they are off going to semiars or reading books on how to build a connection with their parents because Oprah said this is what to do. All of this makes me sick; the world has gone to being a field of freakin' pansies. Welcome to a sad sad un-understanding place; Oklahoma 2008.

Gail, Tulsa, Ok (4/12/2008 6:42:03 PM)

To: Master of Puppets: As I said, you are so full of hot air, I am just waiting for the implosion.

whiteturkey, (4/12/2008 7:20:11 PM)

...and who are the ultimate pansies in this scenario? The film festival and the filmmaker for pulling their film in the face of controversy! Bare bones is exactly what you are for not having any balls! And you filmmakers, its probably a good thing your film won't screen, cause if you wither in the face of a little bad press, it means you'll never last in Hollywood...

snow, nyc (4/12/2008 7:25:17 PM)

forget terrorists! you people are so ridiculous...it's just good marketing!

David, Tulsa (4/12/2008 7:27:14 PM)

Would anyone really miss Muskogee? A dark forest seems like an improvement to me.

will, los angeles (4/12/2008 8:01:21 PM)

Brillant!!!!!!! Talk about free advertising. Sure beats word of mouth.

jogger, (4/12/2008 8:56:59 PM)

Does anyone know if this film was done at Turkey Mountain?

If so, this would explain a lot of the problem with the film.

The person who is using my surname also makes fun of my legal given names and he as an obsession with using gerbils in a disgusting and abusing way.

Because he is consistent in his writing style, he gives himself away every time he posts an off-topic comment.

While I was not an English major in college, I did do some substituting for English teachers in the Claremore and Tulsa Public Schools Systems back in the early 1970s.

I wouldn't be surprised if this particular guy's middle name is "Ray." I know a man in his 30s who has that middle name, which he does not like at all, and I see that just last week a finance company took him to court because he was not paying on his debts. It's good to have access to the OCIS online.
