My father to my Mother:

"I can get any woman I want."

My mother to my father:

"Well, if that's what you want."

Christopher Reeve kissed Michael Caine in that film. It was actually a good movie.

My mom once said, "I wish the sodomites had never came out of the closet, why don't they just go back there".

[WasDougsLamb]

. If you're going to be a homo, at least be flaming and flamboyant about it. And for crying out loud, don't go back to having sex with women. They don't deserve this.



-----Exactly! Truer words were never spoken. We DON'T deserve that!

[Blind Eye Jones]

I think the author of this is trying to spread the homophobic fear that, "This could be YOU!" It is not so much about coming out of any closet as pushing them back into one or pushing at the possibility that there could be a closet for YOU! Liberation, I think not... exploitation, definitely! Fear is a fascination that sells for many reasons and this is set up in the same way as a horror movie is set up for fear. Forget love but think about the possibility that, as the author intimates, "YOU might be gay." Yes, every normal red blooded American should go to this movie like they should go for a doctor check up because... you never know! Maybe Woody Allen should have made this movie.

"You will never feel more secure or serene than when resting in my strong arms."

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Pre-gay? I guess I am just a MALE with Lesbian tendencies!

[Aquinasfan]

The fact that some men are not attracted to women is beyond my comprehension.

[hershey]

Well, so those rumors about Tom Cruise are true. Does Angelina know or care that Brad swings both ways? Probably not.

According to Rottentomatoes.com, Fudgepack Mountain has been in general release for five weeks now and has grossed a little over $22 million. Once you eliminate ticket sales to the chick flickers, that means that they have pretty well exhausted most of the bath house audience in all the major blue state cities, so sales can only be downhill from here.
Of course, if they can just hang on until the Oscars, the extra publicity could "goose" their gate receipts by another 50% or so before the film is consigned to oblivion.
Blind hubris is the reason for Hollywood's gradual decline in gate receipts over the past decade or so and the promotion of this and other agenda driven films will only hasten the trend.
As one Hollywood mogul from the old days said: "If you want to send a message, use Western Union". These old guys might have been dinosaurs in many ways, but Hollywood seems to have forgotten that that advice is still good today.

-Reeves and another guy kissed, (can't think of his name, dangrabit) and you should have heard the "eeeeews!" from the audience...-

You would still hear those "eeeeeews" in any theater today. Lefties are such hypocrites. If they see the act unexpectedly, their instincts kick in and they can't hide their "eews" or wincing any more than the rest of us.

[Galveston Grl]

The white Metrosexuals are coming out of the closet to participate in the latest cultural rot and self destruction dished out by hollywierd. They will leave the usual mess in their wake.

[miss marmelstein]

Luckily, when I was a single woman in NYC (for what seemed like 40 years!), my gaydar was so well developed I almost never dated a fake straight guy. Girls, be aware!

[Elsie]

I think it's called...

ADULTERY!

If you're going to be a homo, at least be flaming and flamboyant about it.

Genesis 13:13
  Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
 

Genesis 18:20-21
 20.  Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
 21.  that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
 4.  Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house. 
 5.  They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
 6.  Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
 7.  and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Isaiah 3:9
 9.  The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

 More?

Ezekiel 16:49-50
 49.  "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
 50.  They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

 9.  Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
 10.  nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 
 11.  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

"My mother made me a homosexual!"

"Lucky you"
"Can she make one for me?"

[Drew68]

I almost never dated a fake straight guy.

Almost? Was that a Freudian slip? LOL!

[Drew68]

At least those guys aren't going to be spreading AIDS to their unknowing wives and girlfriends.

You forgot that the gay cowboys would have been against the war.
