I always knew you were gay.
Yep, that's why it's perfectly safe for any freeper women to invite me over to their hot tub.
I don't have a hot tub but I do need a decorator. Do you have your own color wheel?
Not yet, but I'm learning some nifty names for stuff I used to call beige.
I had a hard time teaching the Marine that there were more shades of green than just Olive Drab.......
There are 34 shades of Olive Drab. Variety is the spice of life!! :-)

I can hear those "Report Abuse" buttons clicking
I'm registered with the IMDB, but I don't go on the boards, which are infested with some of the stupidest film commentators this side of Jim Emerson. I have friends who used to, but they are about as well moderated as Usenet, forums, and the intelligent commentators wind up leaving for Mobius and other boards for intelligent film fans. For that matter, I've never provided user comments on indvidual films either.

A Cinematic Landmark, 18 September 2005
Author: gabrieletaibo from Italy
The feeling lingers. The images come back, not to haunt you but to reassure you. There is an element of hope within the melancholic sadness of this Ang Lee masterpiece. There hasn't been such a limpid definition of love since the world was still innocent. Limpid, yes, that's the word that comes to mind, remembering the shy lopsided smile of the extraordinary Heath Ledger. Who could possibly have predicted that Heath Ledger was such a giant, unquestionably destined to a legendary career. Well, Ang Lee I guess. Lee seems in total control of his canvas. Every frame is a moment, the silences are exquisite, the humans are as humans are and we're allowed to dive into their hearts without tricks without illusions. Raw, limpid, poetic and above all, true. I can't wait for the world to meet Jack and Ennis in this startling Ang Lee, Larry McMurtry universe.

Two Men In Love at the Venice Film Festival, 3 September 2005
Author: bethlambert117 from United States
It was a real ordeal to get into the screening. The anticipation was palpable. The film arrived surrounded by a plethora of innuendo. "A gay western" "Heath and Jake's hot scenes" As soon as the film started every imaginable preconception flew out of the auditorium. This is a remarkable, moving and powerful love story. The setting is that of a modern western "The Last Picture Show" comes to mind. Ang Lee's attention to detail verges on science fiction. You can actually smell the place. Extraordinary. I'm not going to reveal anything about the story - Gian Luigi Rondi a legendary Italian film critic, revealed the ending to a television audience, what was he thinking?! - The film will be enjoyed much more allowing the story to unfold without having passages underlined and attention drawn to this or that particular. I felt compelled to write this comment because I'm overwhelmed. It has changed my perception, I must confess, about certain aspect of same sex love because I didn't think of same sex when I was watching it, I saw two human beings (amazing performances by both actors)I have the feeling "Brokeback Mountain" will make history, deservedly so.
Was the above comment useful to you?
Hmmm....I'm not going to be able see Timothy Bottoms and Jeff Bridges' relationship in that film the same way again. Guess we now know why they couldn't perform with either Cybill Shepard or Chloris Leachman.
What the hell is that? Has your landscaper gone nuts?
OMG, that is funny.
Someone else found that and had posted it on my RHINESTONE COWBOY song thread.
What the Hell was that?
Whatever it is, I have it captured!
