This lady has it all wrong...Brokeback Mountain is what America wants to see and will win all the Academy Awards.

After all, every man has a homosexual fantasy.

>>>“Brokeback Mountain” has netted a paltry $4.9 million in box office sales, nearly identical to “Memoirs of a Geisha”. Both movies have been out for about two weeks. King Kong has earned twenty times more in only eight days of apish reincarnation.

Just as an FYI - King Kong is playing in over 3000 theaters, while Brokeback is still in limited release, showing in slightly over 600 (and it was fewer than that before last weekend.) Box office is not just measured in total dollars at any one given moment. You have to analyze the numbers of theaters, and other data. But it would be the rare art film that would gross more than a big thriller like King Kong. It does happen, though. Little films can take off, films like The Full Monty, which for one reason or another capture the public's attention.

" After all, every man has a homosexual fantasy."

One need only to look at your picture on your home page to understand where this ridiculous statement came from.Of course the fact that you live in El. A./ Burbank has nothing to do with it.
