37,000 emails urge cinemas to boycott Ali G film; no chains comply

UK watchdog NewsCord organised roughly 37,000 emails urging cinemas worldwide to refuse Amazon-MGM's "Ali G: Who Iz I?", calling Sacha Baron Cohen's character a racist caricature. No cinema chains have joined the boycott, per The Hollywood Reporter. NewsCord falsely claimed one chain would ban the film, then retracted. Danish chain NFBIO confirmed it will screen, citing artistic expression. The film opens in October.
