The 40th anniversary of "Deliverance," raises a fascinating question: When is a movie not "just a movie?"

CBS tackles the question today and found that people in Georgia still aren't happy with being portrayed as Hillbilly Hell.

Some North Dakotans -- and Minnesotans -- are still upset about "Fargo."

I would offer them the same advice I would give the angry granny in this story: "Relax. It's just a movie."

Robert: You should watch the clip again. It's NOT just a movie when people get hurt.

By "Banjo's Boy" himself said he was NEVER told what the movie was about and they chose him because of his 'splay eyes."

Countless people were and are effected by Hollywood's trash.
