Anne Hathaway has a full-frontal shot in there that will help you make best use of the Fast Forward Finger.

There is a Gayville, South Dakota and there are real cowboys who live there!>>>>>>>>>>

By the way, was Marvin Gaye?

Rupert Everett and Tom Cruise were busy.

OK, I know I'm going to get blasted by some of the folks here, but..

There HAVE been a couple of movies about gays that have been pretty good to see..

- Philadelphia (Tom Hanks)
- Boys in the Band


So, it's possible this might actually be a good movie. BUT, like a lot of people on this forum, I just can't stomach seeing hardly any displays of homosexual affection.

And the movies I cited above were years ago -- at a time when I didn't feel such a media push to 'normalize' homosexuality. Currently, I just have more suspicions about any entertainment involving gays being part of the pro-gay propoganda going on so much now.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to see Brokeback Mountain. But I'm not completely closed to the possibility it actually could be a worthwhile movie.

My two cents,

Oh, that reminds me of an old Robin Williams' routine about the Falklands. :-)

Pssst! It's not really about cowboys, straight or gay. People used to say that the women in the novels of Proust or Forster or the plays of Tennessee Williams or Edward Albee were really men, and the heterosexual relationships were really based on the author's gay experiences and fantasies. Something similar is going on here.

At heart, Brokeback is an old lesbian fantasy -- two girls out on the range punching cattle, lassooing dogies, and staying together forever far from a disapproving society. As fantasies go, it's pretty stale, uninteresting stuff. But turn the two girls into boys, and suddenly the whole country is talking about it.

What is the point of attacking a movie most here haven't seen, in the most childish way, with crude jokes, etc? I just don't get it.

You shouldn't overthink this, sweetheart. It's just what we do. 'Cause it's fun. And 'cause lefties suck.

Will there be a sequel involving a 10 year old boy and his stud horse Trigger? I can't wait for the enlightening, emotional experience and newfound sensitivity. Disgusting Sarc.
