It appears they are using all the tricks in the book in order to not have this movie be a box office dud....first releasing it in carefully selected locations in order to pump up the opening weekend figures. This "sold out" ruse, if true, would be designed to convince the movie-going public that "everyone is seeing it."
I don't plan to see it, but it seems like a gay remake of Same Time Next Year.
Homosexuals will embrace anything, no matter the quality, as long as it portrays gay characters and gay situations in a positive light.

In the meantime, "Narnia" returned to the number one spot last weekend.

This is done for many 'prestige' Oscarbait films.

Actually, when Passion of the Christ was released and selling like hot cakes, there was more than one instance of a moviegoer reporting paying for it, getting a ticket to another movie and being told not to worry about it by management...

Backside Mounting? What a stupid idea for a film. Homos on the range.
Reminds me of a very old and corny joke...
Did you hear that Elton John's new blushing bride is worried about contracting botulism?
Yes, you see... ahem... he heard that you can get it from old meat in a can. Oh... sorry, I thought you said butt-u-lism...
G-R-O-A-N-N-N...Oh, never mind.

I'll bet you it's got to gross $30 million to make any money; partciularly if they're advertising it heavily. But what do I know about the movie business? Nothing.

I wouldn't want to see what was going on in that theatre.
To: don-o
My observations would have been relatively mundane - what is very clear to me is the economic growth that is going on in the United States. The American economy is booming. The obvious sign of this boom may come as a surprise - traffic. Even in the suburbs I was visiting, the traffic, particularly to and from shopping centres was horrific. It did not matter if it was a weekday or weekend, but the amount of people out on the roads with their cars going shopping had increased visibly since the last time I'd been there.
This indicates confidence, this indicates money to spend, this indicates economic activity near to bursting at the seams.

Homo, Homo on the Range
Where the queers and the other dopes play
They watch their sheep herds
And behave just like Nerds
And the gerbils have all run a-waaaaayyyy!!!!!!!

Because it showed how he straightened himself out. IMO it could have been better if they highlighted more of what he did after he straightened himself out. It showed how coming from nothing you could make something of yourself and overcome drinking and drugs.
