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.

Ummmmm....but they are gay. I do think truth in advertising should be contacted. This should be billed as a gay shepherd movie.
Check out this spoof trailer for The Shining.
A sheep herder movie would not fly. Everyone knows what these guys do with sheep. Poor sheep.
I guess he was alluding that Ned's male-rape role didn't exactly 'rocket' his career.
Heard the rumor about the new Italian suppository? It's an innuendo.
This movie is a disgusting parody on the American west.
It is the product of years and years of "tolerance" of the vicious anti-social antics of the Sodomites in our midst.
When you tolerate depravity, depravity spreads.
Hoepfully this movie will cause the producers, sponsors, etc to loose their shirts and further garbage of this nature will be restricted to the porno circuit where it belongs, instead of mainstream America.
Its a "gay" movie period.
It should have an NC-17 rating and no one under 18 should be allowed to buy it. Any mother or father allowing their children to view it should be treated the same as any other adult showing pornography to minors.
Bareback mountin'...

Oh, us miserable unenlightened peons just don't know what we're missing! How DARE we not embrace this pile of horse apples?
I had the same experience when my son tried to warn me not to go see Rent with my theater-loving relative... Eeeeewwwww! It was the worst movie I've seen since 1969!
ROFLOL!!!
Every week that I see the Proctor & Gamble coupon insert in my Sunday newspaper, it is filled with images of mothers, fathers and kids doing family things with P&G cooking and cleaning products. Yet the P&G company has become one of the most vociferous supporters of gay rights, gay marriage, and gay cultural events like the "gay games" outdoor bacchanalia. I think their advertising ought to reflect their corporate mentality a little more closely -- two guys sharing a kiss while scrubbing the sink with Mr. Clean, for instance...
This movie is just been made to be made.
This will be used by groups like GLSEN and PFLAG to recruit children. I can predict it will be mandatory viewing by children under an ACLU requested court order.
This is not intended to make money, this movie is intended to make recruits for sexual gratification.
Watch...let alone pay to watch one or two phony cowboys being ridden by some other chaps
I dont think so....
The first western where the good guys get it in the end.
(Special thanks to my brother in law. I thought it was funny, so I had to steal it.)
When I go to a Western, I want to see cowboys riding horses, not each other.
It's all Bush's fault. And the religious right trying to turn American into a theocracy.... /sarc
