The Hollywood crowd deserves everything they get... and less...
"I was strongly advised against seeing it. [King Kong]"
I got the same advice from people who saw it. They said it was too long and very dull - no interest in the characters, and the special effects were pretty obvious and so-so.
Hollyweird (or is it Hollow-weird?) is driving normal people away. Fine with me.
I don't have a TV and very rarely watch movies. I'm not deprived, I'm fortunate.
Why do you think Elia Kazan was denied a Lifetime Achievement Award for so long?
It certainly wasn't because he didn't deserve the honor.
*rolls eyes*
Every one of them anti-American agitprop. Seriously, each of these movies could have been shown in the Soviet Union during the Stalin era.
It's the Passion of the Christ backlash effect. Hollywood is reminding the rest of us who's really in charge of the culture.

This might shock most, but, folks go to the movie to forget. To take a moment to walk in the shoes of another or for entertainment.
Now if the gay community needs a movie for their entertainment than fine. But, call a spade a spade, this is about pushing an agenda. Not about a cowboy movie. Not about a love story.
If there is good acting in it ... I will never know because I will not see it because I do not want to see a guy with a guy.
Frankly, I am modest and really do not like to see any over the top stuff with a guy and a gal.
Movies where you do not need to cover my eyes is my kind of movie.
Just my 2 cents.
Another oscar winner few will see? They might as well buy themselves a trophy and grip it as they like...
I just have one question, so here goes...
How does a gay cowboy sit on a horse the next morning after a night of man love??
FReepmail me and little jeremiah if you want on/off the ping list.
This will do to the Oscars what the strikes have done to major sports -- only more so. The disgusted public will simply tune out and find better things to do with their time.
The Left is gnawing away at our society and spitting it out ruined, one piece at a time.
It's Ellen Degeneres, isn't it?
Gay Mafia gets it's way with Bareback MountHim.
There's already been a precipitous drop in the per theater box office receipts between weekends 1 and 2. ($109,485 - $38,354.) Oh yeah, this one has legs. LOL.
It's Ellen, huh? Guess I wasn't too far off with my initial guess.
Well, the Oscars have for some time been the repository of self-absorbed, self-congratulatory ego monsters air-kissing one another and basking in the reflected glory of the roles they play. Bareback Mountin' is no worse and certainly no better than all of the other secular morality plays served up by the shallow, the self-righteous, and the arrogant. Afraid I'll be missing the awards again this year.
I was being facetious. I don't think they have picked the host yet and if they have, they are keeping it a secret. I went to the Oscars website and there is no mention of it.
Probably Elton John and his new boywife will have shared duties.
What else is on that night?
