"Michael Medved reminded us today that last year they pulled the same stunt with "Million Dollar Baby" by not going anywhere near the real subject of the film, knowing that a lot of people would be turned off by it."

It was a good film ($1,000,000 Baby). The end was a surprise. I can deal with the issue. I went because of Eastwood. He is a first rate director.

I'm glad there is no "surprise" with Brokeback. Just not interested, so I will not go.

But I went to Capote, knowing full well the man was a homosexual. He was also a well known writer and public figure for years.

The acting was great, but the story was, quite naturally, very dark.

That's right... they can't lure people into watching a movie unless they trick people into thinking its mainstream fare. They pull enough of that bait and switch BS, people will catch on to it.
