Ya, Romeo and Juliet didn't get married. Their passion was illicit.
Ya, in what version don't Romeo & Juliet get married?
I take it neither of you are Shakespeare scholars. You must have both fallen asleep during the part where Romeo and Juliet are secretly married by Friar Laurence.
>>>Ya, in what version don't Romeo & Juliet get married?<<<
In the gay Hollywood version. It's Romeo and Giulio.
Ah, that explains it.
No, and I am not. But their passion was still illicit, even if they were married, and yes, I missed that scene (was that done before of after intercourse?). It was not to be tolerated. It was beyond the pale.
silly their friends sneak them in to the movies in their trunks.
I prefer "Fudgepack Mountain"
I am certainly not a Shakespeare scholar, but more so I really can only take so much sappy romance (just about none). I was forcibly coerced into seeing Romeo & Juliet and was rather surly about it!
Maybe if they tackled one another and threw some punches during the secret wedding I would've noticed. :)
The usual more people talk about how terrible and immoral a movie is, the more people want to go see it. When will people learn to just ignore a movie like this instead of feeling so impulsively compelled to tell people how terrible it is. Good publicity is good publicity but bad publicity is very good publicity for a movie like this.
Movies live & die by word of mouth.
If BBM was fun or sexy, you'd probably have a some curiosity seekers, but monotonous bordom relieved by moments of utter revulsion will not send droves of heterosexuals to the theater.
Not even King Kong has been able to do that. For passionate illicit love, that's the movie to see.
You're thinking of Plano, Illinois.
Plano, Texas is the home of EDS, Frito-Lay, Dr. Pepper, and JC Penney.
I'll take your word about Tyler.
No problem. It's easy to see where your heart lies.
I'll go for the Tyler roses, myself.

It would be interesting to see a graphic correlating red versus blues congressional districts with 'brokeback' theaters. The graphic could be captioned: Brokeback - Broken Party
Plano is pretty upscale. East plano less so, West Plano very much so. West Plano also has a mega church about rhe size of Texas stadium..and a blue million latch-key kids with unlimited credit cards.
