LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - An owner of two Kentucky theaters is making a political statement by refusing to show the Jennifer Lopez-Jane Fonda comedy "Monster-in-Law."

Ike Boutwell, who served as a pilot during the Vietnam War, has taken a stand against Fonda, who took an activist role during the war. Outside the Elizabethtown Movie Palace, he displayed the infamous picture of the actress posing happily with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft crew, while his Showtime Cinemas marquee reads: "No Jane Fonda movie in this theater."

"I think when people do something, they need to be held responsible for their actions," Boutwell tells the AP. "When you give the enemy aid, it makes the war last longer."
Joseph Pulitzer gave $2 million to this college in part to establish a school of journalism.

The theater owner has also banned Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" as well as other Fonda features.

It's not the first time the Oscar-winning actress has felt a backlash for her actions. In April, a Vietnam vet spit in her face during a Missouri book signing for her memoir "My Life So Far." Although Fonda has apologized for the photo with the North Vietnamese, she never went back on her position on the war. Many veterans as well as Vietnamese people see her stance as not merely anti-war, but pro-Communist and anti-American.

In its first weekend out, "Monster-in-Law" topped the box office with $24 million. The comedy stars Fonda as an overly fond mother who doesn't feel her son's fiancee (Lopez) is good enough for him.
