when I finally saw “Brokeback” I found it nearly perfect. It’s more than a love story; it’s really about loneliness, which is a more universal emotion anyway. Some of us haven’t been in love; some of us don’t believe in love. Everyone’s been lonely.
It’s ambiguous enough to argue about endlessly. Heath Ledger’s Ennis del Mar feels like the man in the film — in the one sex scene, he gives rather than receives — and he’s taciturn and bottled-up in the way of men. He talks with his fists, and sometimes he talks too much, but he’s gentle with women and never has a harsh word for his daughters. One could argue he’s what we want the American man to be.

Since a movie about gay sheepherders coming out of the closet has done so well, I heard they're going to make a movie about gay midgets coming out if the cupboard.
"he gives rather than receives"
I've always heard that was the thing to do but now I have a different outlook on it.
If the minority sexual group called gays want poo poo on their penis that's fine, let them do whatever they want in the privacy of their own bedrooms but don't call me racist or mentally ill because I don't want to see, hear, or read about it.
In the interests of fairness, though, there is one thing these simps have in their corner--the movie is a real hit. And I find it amusing that while I was almost the sole voice arguing that this thing would be a hit, that it was not the loser some here tried to claim, and that even though those who don't know anything about the movie industry kept shouting "Failure!" and sending notes to my email box...no one around here seems to be talking about its box office "failure" anymore...
Sorry, but if I'm gonna rap the MSM for their biased pro-gay agenda cheerleading, FReepers have to take the hit for their disingenuousness about the FINANCIAL story here.
What will be an interesting comparison though is how the next 'Passion' will be treated by these same pundits. They will either do what they did with Narnia--"Christian content? WHAT Christian content?!"--or go back to the old "anti-semitism" truncheon. That would be like saying BBM is anti-woman and anti-marriage because it seems (I have no intention of actually seeing this snoozefest) to promote screwing around on your wife...which Hollywood seems to think is bad, apparently, unless it's with a guy.
Gene Shalett reviewed this film. He said something like it was 'a story about a sexual predator attacking a cowboy.' Now all of Hollyweird is lining up to praise it. That must be one reason why people are not going to see movies anymore. 'Nuff said.
I keep thinking of Taco del Mar.
No. Actually, hell no. I don't want a homosexual or bisexual adulterer as the "American man."
Yep. Their marriages do not matter, love doesn't matter, nothing matters except that they push the idea of two guys gettin' it on. The end justifies the means, so to speak.
Actually, it is. To my huge surprise.
In fact, so many people who've seen the movie have thought it was a great movie that I'm actually tempted to see it myself.
Not that I care anything about gay cowboys. And I'll undoubtedly wait until it hits video.
A hit. Not really.
Not like Harry Potter, obviously. But a lot of people who've seen it (surprisingly to me) seemed to like the movie.
I can only imagine what will be in the DVD extras and outtakes?
I won't see this, which is too bad, Larry McMurtry is one of my favorite writers. I just can't take these two horrible actors who are always badmouthing the Prez. Two hours watching them would be agony. And I just don't care for the material.
But there is one more thing I forgot to mention about this article and the ninety others that have come out in the MSM from these lib writers: All of these libs, who are praising this movie as NOT a gay movie, manage to get in that THEY aren't gay. (See if you can find where this guy sneaks it in.) They spend 99% of the article insinuating that men who aren't interested in seeing this are the weird ones, and yet they don't want anyone getting the impression that THEY are "like that". Hypocrites all.
Which is worse? Reading that or spelling Elton John's funky socks? Either way, I'm going to be sick.
I can only imagine what will be in the DVD "In- 'n Out-takes".
"I'm sooo Lonely..."
I just got done reading the latest DUmmie FUnnies, now this.....
