It sounded like the perfect pairing: Richard Dreyfuss up on stage discussing his career and the making of "Jaws" before the lights dimmed and the movie played on the screen behind him. Instead, Dreyfuss used his time on stage at the Cabot Theatre in Beverly Saturday night to spew hatred at both wome...
It's not like they expected this when they organized the event. Dryfus should be the one offering a refund, but you know he believes it is his god given right to spout hatred at unsuspecting movies fans.
Dryfus has been very vocal about his views for some time. As the theater acknowledged, they needed to do a better job vetting guests. Also I'm going to guess that they didn't have any language in their agreement that would have made Dryfus responsible for damages incurred by his actions. Also, there is insurance for this sort of stuff which they should maintain as a cost of doing business.
It looks like only about 20 people walked out, and it isn't clear at all from any sources what it is he supposedly said and how it came to transpire, other than the fact that one of the things he said was in direct response to a question asked of him, and someone in the facebook thread seems to indicate the person they had moderating had a hand in the nonsense. Someone also said that the submissive comment was him talking about how women were treated at the time.
