Well, consider the source, right? I mean, can it be that the whole McCarthy stuff was a REAL attempt to get the socialists out of Hollywood? And failed because they mistakenly called them communists?

It would be a believable piece if I could believe in the theory that gays can be monogamous. I don't.

[Krodg]

Would these programs help in showing the normality of being gay?

There is nothing normal about being gay.

$6mm at a cost of $13mm. But now that all the pillowbiters in the major cities have seen it, it has opened in a mainstream theatre near you. The $6mm includes a holiday weekend, with one more to come. I guess we'll see how many teenaged girls can't wait to see their hearthrobs having anal sex with eachother.

[MSSC6644]

Your tagline is appropriate for homosexuality also. Intersting, no?

[MarineBrat]

Would these programs help in showing the normality of being gay? Or would many viewers come away thinking that we were indeed "different"?

Weeeellllll...... hmmmm. So many ways to begin here....

"No dude, independent films are those black and white hippie movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding."

It's really about the fascination about the accuracy of South Park.

I've run sheep and there is nothing wimpy about it. Certainly not for the faint of heart.

[Froufrou]

"Roll me over and turn me around"

"I am just a cowboy..." Wonder if this Thin Lizzie is the sound track?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

It occurred to me that the timing of Casanova's release so quickly after BM was planned to restore Heath Ledger's heterosexual appeal to female fans.

Don't expect any sequels like "Return to Brokeback Mountain".

[bannedfromdu]

I can't wait for the sequel RUMP RANGERS RIDE THE RANGE.

[Adrastus]

"Cowboys herding sheep"??? There's your first clue that something is screwed up here. Then it goes on....

[bannedfromdu]

I thought sheepherders raped sheep not each other

[MaDeuce]

Brokeback Mount-ing ... where the cowboys ride their horses with the saddle on backwards cause the saddle horn needs to be "in the rear". ;o)

[dfwgator]

Don't expect any sequels like "Return to Brokeback Mountain".

In the sequel, they'll have a relationship with the sheep. Of course it will be hailed as "groundbreaking."

I just can't figure out what it is about this film that is getting all this attention from us and the press. This is not the first movie ever to portray gays. What is our facination with this movie. Personally I am glad to be out of the Country because you guys are obsessing it to the max. They have a show Will and Grace that nobody is talking about. They had In and Out which nobody talked about. They have other stuff that is homo in nature but everyone is in love with this film and I don't understand it overhere in Italy serving in the Navy.

[Fiddlstix]

....through movies such as "Brokeback Mountain," Hollywood is shedding light on the fact that not all gay men are fashion gurus, hairdressers, interior designers, and superior in the arts, but that some might — God forbid — be cowboys, herding sheep in Wyoming....

Podner.... down here where I live......
(And there are still a few real cowboys and big ranches)
People who "herd sheep" ain't called "cowboys"......
FYI

I've run sheep and there is nothing wimpy about it.

Now why were they running from you? Hmmmm?

[barj]

I don't think so, but they have, unfortunately hi-jacked a Roger Miller tune. Go to amazon to see who's on the sound track. Interestiingly, no big country names.
