"Artsy Fartsy pudding eating homosexual cowboy movies do not put butts in the seats."


Where DO they put butts? ;-)

This is what Hollyweird thinks is a great film?

Pathetic.

Hollyweird is getting further and further out in LaLa Land.We ought to tar and feather the whole bunch of em/sarcasm intended:)

[trubluolyguy]

the field is crowded with potential winners: "Munich," "Good Night, and Good Luck," "Syriana," and "The Constant Gardener."

Are ANY of these movies even in the top five domestic box office?

It's getting to be like the critics, if they love it I know to stay the heck away from it because it probably has english subtitles and GAY FRIGGIN' COWBOYS EATING PUDDING!

If the critics hate a movie, it will probably break all box office records.

It will be some satisfaction when this steaming pile of a movie will lose money and be a total flop.

I can't imagine any friend or acquaintance paying money to see this.

I did fantasize that if it came to a nearby town (which I doubt) I would only go if I could do a loud running commentary.

Hollyweird has become the porno industry they once scoffed at.
Cheap, no plot, goat sex movies with pre-school dialog.

Isn't it amazing that the MSM is telling us what a "bomb" King Kong is going to be because it is earning money by the truckload instead of by three truckloads, but "BareBack Mountain" is earning a few thousands here and there and the MSM is so excited they are typing with one hand to tell us all how wonderful this is?

LOL! They have no shame. I'd be ashamed to be such a fool/perversion promoter. I'd be ashamed to be so transparent. Shows how off the cliff they are.

Hehehe..

As I understand this movie, the plot is a message movie that tries to justify the gay men, leaving their families for their homosexual love affair. I have seen this happen to friends and it is so personally destructive to spouse that is left behind and the children. I have also seen many men who make a joke of their marriage by staying with their wives, while frequenting Gay bars, picking up hitchhikers and other types of homosexual behavior.

i saw that "brokehole.com" is a domain name for sale on ebay; maybe this could be a winner
