Awww....they are going to be so disappointed (/sarcasm)
Sheepherders are NOT cowboys.
My spinal column It was!
Good!
I have some friends past and present in the military. I can tell you this, they wouldn't watch Broke Back Mountain if you hog tied them to a chair and sewed their eyelids opened.
The military and gays don't mix well...
I can't think of a bigger lie than saying Brokeback is popular with normal audiences. It is definitely a "specialty" film.
"Grossing" is a very good word choice for this film.
I'll bet the guys over seas are grateful it's not coming their way! Whew!
Here's the deal: NO ONE wants to see two homosexuals in a love story. The love scene, I've heard, is so violent that's it's almost a rape scene. Ain't dat just terrific? Just what our troops want to eat their popcorn with. Yuck.
Speaking from the experience of an AAFES movie goer...let me set the stage for what happens when a "first run" movie is shown.
1) AAFES announces that on "such and such a date" an AAFES theater will be showing a certain movie, for arguments sake, lets say any Harry Potter movie.
2) The movie usually shows on a Friday night, the ticket office will open for "early ticket sales" at 1500-1630, a non-working friend will go buy a bunch of tickets for the rest of us.
3) We show up about 30 mins prior to show-time and there is still is a huge line for tickets!
Bottom line: Don't think anybodies unemployed spouses will be showing up early for early tix sales or there will be any long lines 30 mins prior!! to see "Bareback Mtn"
It should be simply because it is a gay movie. Gay movies should be banned in all public theaters. Homosexuality is inherently obscene and should only show in "adult" theaters which cater to such tastes.
bump with no comment
Willie Nelson KNEW something along time ago...
What a difference from my days (1978-81) when we felt privileged if the movie opened in USAREUR within 6 MONTHS of US release dates. I distinctly recall the anticipation for the release of Star Wars.
As for the subject matter of the movie in question, what happened to don't ask, don't tell??? If that were applied to this movie, it would be a short subject rather than a feature release if it were edited to meet that policy.
I am sure that this movie would play well with Muslim men who like to bugger 12 year old house boys.
I doubt the troops arent disappointed because they can't watch "Backdoor Mountain" or "Barebackin' Mountain" or whatever you want to call it.
