How can that be? It's the best movie ever made! It's going to win all the prizes at both the Golden Globes AND the Oscars! Even the prizes that Bareback Mountain wasn't entered to win! Like best animated and best foreign film! It's going to win everything, because it's the best movie ever!

I know it because that's what all the papers and movie reviewers say!

Another Movie that is a "MUST NOT SEE" is Syriania.

With George Clooney, let me guess its a rehash of Michael Moore MOONBAT CRAP, about Blood for Oil, and dark conspiracy to depose a great Leader like Saddam, and his sons Oday Qusay.

Let Block Buster go Bankrupt trying to rent it, LOL!

Best news I have heard today. I hope that gay cowboy movie disappears from the theaters very soon. They better not hope for DVD sales to help them, either. Most Americans are sick of Hollywood pushing this "lifestyle" on us.

"Brokeback Mountain "

It looks like this sodomitic epic has lived up to its name.

"Howdy pardner...I lost mah job at the fudge plant, which is a shame considerin all ah learned, and now ahm herdin sheep like ewe. Les ewe an me round up some sheep an head on over to Cowpoke Mountain. Me an ewe, bein cowpokes an all, should KNOW our way around, in the biblical sense of course.

When the moon rises, we kin sang some cowpoke songs, and serenade the ewes. After which time, we kin head over to Hog Waller and bond with each other. If ewe dont squeal on me, I wont squeal on ewe..."

The TV Guide Channnel did a feature on Holiday movies: King Kong, Harry Potter, etc. Not a word about the Chronicles of Narnia. Prejudice, perhaps?

The Hollywood marketing machine is trying to put lipstick on a pig.

I know I'm paying to see trash.

I saw brokeback last night. It had nothing so explicit that I was offended, but don't take the kids.

Gay cowboys eating pudding just doesn't appeal to mass audiences. Who'da thunk it?

"Brokeback Mountain," the story of two cowboys grappling with their love for each other, was the top Golden Globe contender Tuesday, picking up seven nominations, including best dramatic picture. CNN.com

If this movie is such a flop at the box office how could it possibly pick up seven nominations for a Golden Globe?

From the "Defamer" H'wood gossip site:


The Clip Show: Thou Shalt Love “Brokeback”

· Critics everywhere fall all over themselves heaping praise and going Golden Globe gaga over the gay cowboy movie, further pushing us to a fearsome Brokeback Police State, where any criticism above a hushed whisper will result in you being instantly shot (a dirty gay look).

To: dangus; All

The only thing that puzzles me about all the buzz around Brokeback Mountain, is that the short story that it's based upon was written by the otherwise brilliant E. Annie Proulx. (The Shipping News)

I've not seen that mentioned in any reviews, nor mentioned here. She is a masterful storyteller, and while there was a thread of homosexuality in the original short story, which I read, they more than exploited it in the movie to pander to some unknown sector of the audience.

Since she's not standing up and taking any credit for it, nor did she write the screenplay, I find that to be A Good Thing. Hopefully just a misjudgement on her part as to who she sold the rights to?

Has anyone seen anything, anywhere on this? (Besides the slanted cr@p at Wikipedia.) *Rolleyes*

It also truly amazes me that Larry McMurtry would be involved in writing the screenplay. I've always had a lot of respect for his writing, as well (Lonesome Dove, Terms of Endearment, etc.)

Why would talented people, both Pulitzer Prize winners, want to be involved in exploitation like this? Oh, yeah. Money! LOL! Well, they'll be saddened on this one...

Of course, since it's about 2 gay cowboys, it's garnered umpteen golden globe nominations already. Nothing else has been mentioned as nominated for anything.

Guess they are trying to push this junk on the American public and they aren't buying.

I don't plan on seeing this movie in the theatre, or ever ever rent it.

Original Kong: Beast fell for the Beauty.

New Kong: Beauty pines for the Beast.

While I'm sure the effects are stunning, I lay dollars to doughnuts the original story was far superior.

I don't get it. A gay cowboy movie? Who wouldn't that appeal to?

On the other hand, a modern, technically sophisticated remake of King Kong by the guy who did LOTR? Who wouldn't that appeal to?

That's what they get for making a movie only to which 3% of the population can relate. Honestly, I don't know ANYONE with the exception of the my one gay relative, who would care to see this movie...even if they support "the cause", watching it play out in full-screen Cinema-sized images is not anything that interests normal heterosexuals.
