Well, I won't stand in a queue to see it. But I'll go see it. I don't think it opens in the UK until the new year.
Why would you go and see it?
If they show it in any local theaters, I will never patronize them again. Family of six, two cokes and a super popcorn. Of course in the gay Southern capital of Asheville,NC, it's just a matter of time.
Because I want to. Same reason I went to see Narnia the other day.
That ok for you? Because I want to? That ok?
BS....$108,910 per screen. Assume 5 showings--that's 21,782 per showing. Assume a $15 ticket price--that's 1,452 seats per theatre per showing. Anybody seen a theatre like that? Mine average maybe 400-500 seats.
I'm sorry, I forgot. They were stacked at least two deep in every chair.
>>made an astounding $544,549 on five plays in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
I bet that made that in San Francisco and Greenwich village alone...
Surprised they didn't make more than that.. While waiting for the X1 in NYC, I overheard two young lesbians complain that it didn't have enough "man on man" action and but that they were estatic about a gay movie. Oh well...
Freak shows never make any money.
On the good side, that's another half million taken out of the spending power of perverts in America.
I bet waiting in line for a ticket was a pain in the butt.
EVERY GAY PERSON who could see this movie probably did. Someone on the IMDB wrote that it will become a gay classic and that Heath Ledger was "incredible," an Oscar worthy performance.
***SPOILER: Ang Lee, the director, recounted in several interviews that when Michelle Williams needed to film a scene in which her character is devastated to discover that her husband is involved with another man, she asked Heath Ledger (her off-screen, as well as on-screen, love interest) and Jake Gyllenhaal to stand off camera and make out for her benefit. Ledger and Gyllenhaal agreed, and when she thought their kissing was not involved enough, she asked them to intensify it.

I'm wondering what motivated Heath Ledger to make this film about two tormented men who both marry, but are in love with each other for decades.
IMO, Hollywood has a statement to make, and it doesn't include making family friendly movies.
Pudding Packers? What the hell is this movie rated?
Completely unacceptable. Lockstep is the march we do here, Son. Love it or leave it. Besides that, if too many people see this movie, our kids will turn gay.
They say the 2 leads are like the hottest hunks in Hollyweird. I'm sorry, if you are making this movie, you got a little homo in ya. Their lady friends best watch out.
There's already a gay movie out. It's called "Capote."
Well, I wont be spending MY money on Fudgeback Mountain.
The city with the biggest per capita gay population (Atlanta) has yet to see the film. It will do well here in its "limited release" as well. One (1) theater in town will be showing the film. Guess where that theater is. You got it, in the heart of Midtown where the gay community is most prevalent.
Fag movies will never be mainstream.
