What the heck...I had such a great response from the first article I posted on this subject that I thought a second one -- from the same paper, on the same day -- was in order.

Sex is a salve, not a cure, and it can't replace lost love, missed opportunities. But as salves go, well, so go I.

I thought it was vaseline

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

[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.

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

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.

I'm an "escort,..."

No dude, you're a gay whore.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

This movie is only running at an art theater in my area.

I believe alot of the growth of the gay community has to do with women and their unbelievable expectations on men in relationships. I know there are men who say they could never touch another man...but I see where seeing a trend that proves otherwise. Look at the gay lifestyle as opposed to the straight one. NO responsibilities... accepted infidelity...etc.

I remember something the husband of my good friend said. He, a brilliant doctor was commenting on a mutual friend of our who is Gay. The guy had just bought a very expensive sports car. My friend's husband jokingly commented that the gay lifestyle looks kinda good...No resonsibility, get to keep all the money you make...nice cars, you get to pick your own clothes, got to fancy restauants...everything looks good...except for the sex thing, of course. I guess you had to be there, but from what I see from women these days, I don't know if I would want to be in a relationship if I were a man...I KNOW THAT IS A RASH GENERALIZATION, but young women have been taught that men are second-class and that their needs and wants are more important and I dare anyone to argue that.

>The nature of the love between Jack and Ennis cannot be misread. The clearer the message, "This could be you"

That is a girl, and
that is a cowboy. Kiss one,
gunfight the other . . .

[Hardastarboard]

this could be you

WRONG

The dam has been breached, blown apart actually, and we can expect a flood.

WRONG

Gays always imagine that there is some magical event that will FINALLY, after all their "struggles", bring them into the mainstream. And they are always wrong.

[XJarhead]

I'm just amazed that this guy really thinks that a movie is suddenly going to cause a massive outbreak of butt-piracy among American men. Especially a movie that very few straight men (or anyone else) is apparently seeing.

[mvpel]

Wait, I thought prostitution was illegal everywhere except Nevada, and this guy is announcing his work as a gigolo in Los Angeles in a major newspaper? Am I missing something?

And like Jack and Ennis, many of my clients went on to pass year after wistful year in a life nature never truly intended.

I'm reminded of the observation that every human being is physiologically heterosexual, given the nature of physical response to erotic stimulation.

[Woodstock]

EEEEWWWW

[jordan8]

God the Chronicle is a disgusting rag. Worst newspaper in America, or at least outside of New York. But I repeat myself.

[Barnacle]

First there is this movie called Brokeback Mountain about a couple of confused cowboys. Just wait, next there will be one called Tenderloin Valley about a sheep rancher.
