To the hard core, agenda driven left, any movie that shows two men humping is automatically a 'masterpiece'; it's a sure fire way to avoid any objective examination. The 'race' card and the 'homophobe' card are sacred cows, and some of the many devices the left uses to avoid honest, thoughtful discussion.

I also Googled it and saw the same numbers. Just look at the other movies on the top ten and their weekly totals. All I am suggesting is that despite your theater (and I am sure if I went to Madison, Wisconsin those theaters would be packed too), this movie is not doing all that well.
There is no such thing as a bisexual man.
I would agree with that. Maybe a slighty younger crowd by in large, but mostly what you would expect to see at any movie.
I was just taking offense to a reply by Quilla to something I had posted above.
Oh I see. Now I feel so much better.
Ternce Hill rocks.
As a teen, I spent days trying to figure out how to attach a rocking chair to my saddle....:))
"Is it a compulsion, an obsession, or maybe a deeply repressed attraction driven by their secret private feelings?"
Ah yes, I'm secretly gay and am all nervous about it.
Not quite, there have already been something like 20 or more posts of articles about "Brokeback Mountain" here. I think it's been covered. I don't think 20 postings about this movie is just "the slightest whiff", it's overkill.
Brokeback Mountain, where men aren't men and sheep run scared!
Wasn't Planes, Trains and Automobiles actually a thinly-disguised love story?
It's doing very well on a per-theater basis. Check this out...

Each of it's five weeks out its been at or near the top in the per theater gross.
You would be amazed at how many times in real life I've been able to use the line, "I saw him set those pancakes on fire!"
You know, I keep hearing about how great his movies are and I just don't see it.
"A Beautiful Mind" was a beautiful bore in my opinion. A complete waste of 2 hours.
Actually, for all other threads about these gay sheepherders, this is teh first actually describing the "movie" - as a piece of lousy "movie", rather than a movie critic's "worship at the house of anti-christian-homo-feelilia"
It can hardly be overkill. If it were, we would not be up in the 100+ range on this thread.
This reminds me of when students say "why should I write a new diet book--there are already so many." Well, the reason there are so many is because in a free economy people have the right to keep buying, because they are interested and people have the right to keep writing because they want to sell books.
FR is for the free market less time I checked?

LOL!
I was just reading his bio on imdb.com.
I never knew he was Italian.
He's still kicking, producing, directing and lives in MA.
Good on him!....:)
They just ran My Name Is Nobody on TV last week.
Great classic stuff.
[then I got all nostalgic for the days when we still had drive-ins around here]
Which is the point of the whole exercise. If you talk about the movie on political grounds, then no one sees the movie--they see politics. If you look at it as a movie though, you can get in under the stereotypes and shortcuts Ang Lee and the writers took and see what they mean.
Take your family to see End of the Spear. It's a true story about five male missionaries who were killed in Ecuador, I think, bringing the gospel or trying to, to the tribe there. The tribe was the most vicious of any in the world. After they all were killed, Elisabeth Elliot and her family plus the other missionary wives, went to the tribe and led them to Christ. This is a true story and something our young people need to see.
A sheepboy who lived in Khartoum
took a lesbian up to his room.
They argued a lot,
About who should do what,
And how, and with which, and to whom.
`Brokeback Mountain II', the sequel: Enter the sheep.
Homophonic trip?
