I just thought I'd let my fellow freepers know that their favorite movie, Brokeback Mountain, just won Best Picture at the Golden Globes. My gf tells me when they accepted the award, they were "stunned!"
Tragic figure in American literature.
You made it sound as though there was a single "best film". You failed to indicate there was more than one. There was no qualifier in your statement. Yes, I used the word "all". Sue me. Make me pay. There's a new law that permits you to send me to jail for 2 years for annoying you. Use it.
Off with you, now. I have no tolerance for prissy people this early in the morning.

Wow, you sound like a real weirdo.
Well, this has devolved into bickering. I'm out. Take care...
1. Hot Studs in Chaps
2. Bush is Hitler
3. Iran is Great and Israel Should be Wiped Off the Map
4. Dykes and Trannies - A Love Story
Felicity Hoffman won for "TransAmerica" about a male-to-female transgender.
Geena Davis won (softening us up for Hillary) for "Commander in Chief"
George "I coulda won it for Kerry" Clooney won for the anti-oil Syriana
Wow. That's quite a list. They live in a totally different world than we do. The netherworld.
Like they really believe it's a GREAT movie...Please..It's all bullsh*t. The know people like us would be against this film so they vote it in .
Brokeback Mountain - $30,825,000
Munich - $32,901,000

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 - $72,937,000
Meanwhile, other films have earned ten times what the gay cowboy movie and the pro-terrorist movie have made:
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe $261,240,000
America rejects Hollywood's garbage.
"Brokeback Mountain - $30,825,000
Munich - $32,901,000
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 - $72,937,000"
You have to put the above $ figures in perspective. Until this week, "Cheaper by the Dozen" has been playing on more than 3,100 screens while "Brokeback Mountain" has been playing on less than 500 (just expanded to 683). "Brokeback Mountain" per screen avg. is $8,480 compared to $1,830 for "Cheaper by the Dozen".

But the brass tax, bottom line reason those movies are in less theaters is because less people want to see them.
I'll also see Capote in a few months when it's on DVD. My remote viewing abilities tell me Seymour Hoffman did a great job.
Did anyone expect a different choice?
Golden Globes=Hollywood circle jerk.
"Passion of the Christ" with some sort of pro-gay theme, his flick would have won Oscars too.
Sometimes that's true. But "Alexander" was a huge movie and flopped by trying to make a historic figure a homo. People rejected the leap from Greek Conqueror to Bi or Gay!
Well, the Oscars are going to have a problem, but because they have only one category for best film.
I would have been amazed at any other outcome. Leftist Hollywood is very predictable in this area...
this is disgusting. hilarious but disgusting.
