Please show me the part in the article where he is complaining about wasting money on those screenings. If he complains about anything it is when he says, "And if you don't want to pay to see it at all, you'll likely be able to download a Bit Torrent version for free by the end of the Red State Labor Day debut. And still, someone will bitch that even THAT costs too much somehow." that is him bitching at the freeloaders, not the Oscars.

so let me get this fucking straight because a mainstream press article (controlled by the very system he complaining about) gave you a filtered version of his comment that must whole truth.
he sold out the shows in other cities at $65-$85 per seat thru the smodcast. He got reports thru the media about people complaining about paying $20 for this showing. And he address that issue with the press.
and surprise surprise they misrepresented his objection to model wrongfully categorized his showing as $20 rip off movie showing to be a complaint about his fans.
read thru the blogs
watch his sundance speach
listen to the blogs on smodcast
then come back after you heard the statements from the man
directly.
