He shouldn't be told to shut his beliefs up or to get over it. But movies and other art shouldn't become a theocracy because it might somehow offend him either.

 I believe he made clear that he wasn't for forcing his beliefs on others.

I didn't say that either, I said movies/art/whatever shouldn't all be something that conforms to his tastes.

actually, they should be IF they wish to get his money.  He has every right to refuse to buy a movie ticket or a DVD/Blu ray if the movie doesn't conform to his tastes.  He also has every right to wish there were more movies/art/whatever that did conform to his tastes.  Who doesn't wish that?   

And fans of for example horror movies shouldn't have to also feel like they're being talked down to because they don't share his same opinions on violence or sex in a movie.

Was he talking down to them or just giving his opinion?

 Agreed, that's his choice.  Also, he could possibly be giving his opinion, but it reads to me in a condescending way. Though I admit I could be mistaken.
