My 80 yr old aunt invited my mother to see Brokeback Mountain. She thought it looked like a love story she'd like to see from the ads on TV. My mother declined and set her straight.

I recommend "Walk the Line."

Hollywood has given me another reason to skip this year's Oscars. I don't want to hear how wonderful its for men to have sex with each other. That's gross.

More lies. Bareback Mounting is not a "gay cowboy movie." It's a "gay" shepherd movie with the sheep being the jilted lovers. Geeeesh. Can't Liberals ever get anything straight? The idiot that wrote this garbage acts like he/she might be doing drugs.

She thought it looked like a love story she'd like to see from the ads on TV.

My girlfriend thought the same until I told her and she's not in her 80's!

I wonder how many went to this abomination thinking it was a real love story based on the TV ads only to find out that it was about perversion!

If there is nothing wrong with this "love story" why not be honest about the content of the movie?!

Deceptive sickos

YAAAAWWWNNN. This is old. I really don't give a D@#$ about this movie. And I think that all of the people on our side of this moral issue who are making such a big deal out of it are doing for those people what all the liberal wackos did for the Passion of the Christ. My advice. Shut up and ignore it. Its a free country and we can't stop people from making movies like this. The more we scream the more people will go and see it. So the less said the better.

I heard the "I've heard it's good, what's wrong with it" story three times this weekend. When I told them what it was about, there was a bit of shock because the ads on TV hide what it is really about.

That said, I'm ready for this one to go away. I will be glad when the Oscars are over. No amount of "buzz" is going to change anyone's mind either way.

So Hollywood—have your party. Enjoy yourselves. Pat yourselves on the back for your saintliness. Just don't expect most of us to show up to help you with it.

I really enjoyed Walk the Line, except for the middle part which dragged and was predictable to anyone who's seen a made-for-tv movie.

Repeating previous comments, other threads:

All these "news" articles being plastered all over networks and sites, including this one here, are the result of the overtly zealous Universal Public Relations and Marketing Departments.

Unfortunately, many people read these "articles" and assume it's crashing news. It's nothing more than some wire employee resubmitting Press Release information from Universal to the daily wire feed.

Be aware of when you are being both hyped and conned. Universal just HAS to announce that their film, "BM" is going gangbusters because Universal is depending upon manipulating the film into an Academy Award.

THAT's the process. It's PROCESS of film marketing. In reality, who sees this title? Urban repeat viewers and the homosexual community.

Universal's making it out to be that the 'whole world' is oozing enthusiasm over this product of theirs. It's marketing hype and readers should take note.

"Walk the Line" is a very entertaining, and highly viewable, film, however, by comparison.

Johnny Cash's family had some differences as to how their Johnny Cash was depicted, but, other than that, as a film, as entertainment, Joaquin Phoenix (as Cash) and Reese Witheerspoon (as June Carter, Cash's second wife) provide really great performances.

It's a highly viewable and enjoyable film and I'd encourage anyone who wants to go the movies to go see "Walk the Line" -- and spare yourself and everyone you care about the rotten experience of hunting down "BM" and wading through the ugly thing.

Maybe I'm sick, but I have to chuckle at the people who saw BM after being misled by the ads, which promised a "family" picture. Elton John's family might like it, perhaps.
