You've got to be kidding me.

It's certainly one of the most favorably reviewed movies of the year, and a major player in the best picture race at the Oscars.
But 'Brokeback Mountain' isn't the easiest sell to audiences unaccustomed to films that deal frankly with same sex relationships: even at a recent screening in Los Angeles' liberal Westside, some moviegoers broke into inappropriate (but no doubt tension relieving) laughter at a scene in which the wife of taciturn cowboy (Heath Ledger) catches her husband in a passionate embrace with Jack Twist. (Jake Gyllenhall)
Perhaps to remind viewers (and voters) that there is more to director Ang Lee's film than it's wretching portrait of a gay relationship, a new 'for your consideration' ad appeared in today's Hollywood trade papers.
Where most of the ads to date have pictured Ledger and Gyllenhall, this one covers all the bases by going for a distinctly familiar and thoroughly heterosexual image: Jack Twist and his wife Lauren (Anne Hathaway) holding their newborn baby.
In other words, Brokeback Mountain may be the gay cowboy movie, but it's not just the gay cowboy movie.

There is a Gaysville, Vermont; between Rutland and Bethel. Haven't seen any gay shepherds/cowboys 'round those parts, though. (Vermont...is that irony, or what?)
Tapioca?
Oh what a lovely picture. They all make furious with their lies.
So glad I heard Savage last night and he spent the time he did discussing this movie as disgusting as this all is. I would of ignored it otherwise.
Awe, ain't that cute. A wholesome family movie for the ages... /sarc off
Rodeo fudge packers. Obiligatory: "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
These guys gotta be queer, I figure. Would a real man do this movie? I mean, acting only discounts so much, the rest is real.
Good One.
ButtCrack Mountin.
Yep, sheep-dippers.
probably..just wait till the "you're homophobic" declarations start when no one wants to see this trash..
I'll wait till it comes out on dvd to see it...burned.
In other news; the Sun (UK) had an article the other day detailing the controversy swirling around the 'bulge' in the Superman costume worn by Brandon Routh in the upcoming 'Superman Returns' movie. Sounds like they are after the female/gay crowd with that flick, as well. :-)
You've got to be kidding me.
Was Ned Beatty offered a role?
....the good thing is there will many that will walk out, never to trust the Hollywierd's again!
There is a Gayville, South Dakota and there are real cowboys who live there!
Worried about hoof-and-mouth disease, maybe?
(Yes, I know, a thousand dirty jokes, but I'm not going to post them :-).
Not because it's good, but because it's gay. Bareback Mountain is one saga of poofty cowboys I think I'll avoid.
I know how much you guys really love boondocks (Sarcasm) but these hit home. :) Peace.
It's a shame Miss. Hathaway is a part of this. It taints her other work.
