General Motors said that I could not be on the premises doing any interviews or press,†he said.Both sides made a compromise that Moore would be allowed to still hold his screening if he didn’t attend, no cameras were let in and no crews were present."I legally rented the four theaters to have my Detroit premiere. And, yet, somehow, they're able to ban me from my own premiere here,†Moore said.

Oh please. He was told he'd have to pay to for two seats and he got pissy. This is a non-story.
