So how many $$$ did it bring in?
I don't see any $$$ figures!
What a bunch of liars. It's a flop and they KNOW it.
Difficult to know where to begin in trashing a piece like this....
Broken (in) Back Mountain is about SHEEP HERDERS. Not real sure how "macho" sheep herding is viewed as being.
>>"Gay" has nothing to do with lifestyle. And rather than coming out of the closet to make a declaration of individuality or identity, most of us "come out" so that we can share the gift of love openly with another individual.<<
LOLOLOLOL!
Oh this writer has GOT to be kidding!
Gay has EVERYTHING to do with lifestyle. Every gay person I know, including my own sister, does everything they can to be in your face.
Cut me a break.
Start at "The End"...........
As Howie Carr (Boston talk show host) says in paraphrasing Oscar Wilde: "the love that dare not speak its name just won't shut up".
...let alone record breaking.
Unless they are referring to record breaking as in "Going Down the Drain" in red ink.
Ang Lee is going to have a bright future in Hollywood. Any actor or director willing to to a positive gay movie will have more doors open to them. Look at Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington after they did the Philidelphia Story (about a HIV gay man suing a law firm for firing him).
TY! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!
I can't believe he endorses this "Backdoor Mountin'" flick! Ugh! Isn't Jewel keeping him satisfied, or did he kick her out making her homeless again?
As I understand it Ty is NOT a working cowboy, he's a rodeo cowboy; big difference.
>>>Or it might have to do with Hollywood hunks Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal and their huge female fan bases. >>>
Watching the adorable Heath Ledger in a trailer for Casanova last night made me think of Brokeback Mtn. I decided (for the umpteenth time) that I, as a female, would probably want to throw up if I saw him kissing a man.
So I don't care how cute they think these two are, not many women would be ok watching (or dear God listening to them) do it.
"I find that the beauty of this film lies in its navigating away from stereotypes"
What? The notion that all gays are noble, tragic victims isn't a stereotype? Since when?
Why's the topic keep coming back nearly every day?
Damn. Obviously it's a slow newsweek............
Yes, it just could be all three cities are chock full of faggots.
DOH!
On a per capita basis, there probably aren't as many in those three places as in Atlanta.
I can't even count all the different threads there are about this movie. Why so much fascination?
Does the Cattlemen have to put out a press release to straighten these people out, or what?
It just goes to show you what a pack of idiots these people really are. It takes more than a hat and jeans to make one a cowboy.
Their lack of knowledge of history is truly amazing.
Obviously, the flick will do well in gay-friendly and predominantly liberal urban areas.
