"It could be the gay Oscars this year because gay-themed movies could win almost all the major awards," said Tom O'Neill, show business awards columnist for The Envelope.Com., referring to the sudden dominance "Brokeback Mountain" has gained so early in the race. Fine, then the left can find out what it's like to have the lowest-rated Oscars ever. The movie is playing in few dozen carefully chosen theaters, I have a feeling it will be a major shock to Hollywierd when "flyover country" totally ignores it.

a major shock to Hollywierd when "flyover country" totally ignores it. I don't think the faggots there would care. They got defeated last year over the gay marriage issue, so this is their consolation prize. Let them have a faggot-fest on TV and we will send them a message by not tuning in at all.

Just another reason to avoid the most disgusting porn/pervert-hustlers on the planet. Maybe they will make a movie about the gay man having sex with the stud horse in the Seattle area and call it the love affair between Will and Trigger. Actually, Trigger really did break this perverts back.
To: wagglebee
Well, Just LOOK at him!

There's something really ironic about a gay sheepherder. But sheep can't cook.

12-days in release. Barely $4M in gross receipts. 69 theaters. What a laugh.

And just who decides who wins Oscars and for what reason. It always seems to be just some sort of pompous circle-jerk to me.

Sorry, I have no interest in Breakback Mountain. Maybe they can muster up enough support in SanFran to make this movie a hit......

I think flyover country should get a big dose of it. Every week. Keep telling them that the homosexual agenda is Hillaries baby.
