Why all the attention for this movie?

Poor Wyoming, my favorite state since I was a kid in the 60's. But I found this amusing:

many old-school ranchers and farmers around the state who aren't big on the movie's homosexual content, Coon acknowledges.

No, they wouldn't be "big" on it.

Ten+ years ago I pulled up to a small sporting goods store in Pinedale. At the time I had Massachusetts license plates. Walked in the door and the owner immediately started on a tirade about "that damned Teddy Kennedy, you don't like that bastard, do you!? He's ruining America!"

It took a few minutes before I guided him outside to my car, to show him my bright red and yellow bumper sticker "Elect Clinton", with the "C" rendered as a hammer and sickle.

When he saw that he laughed and calmed down.

Nope, I don't think Pinedale will be amenable to the fans of Brokeback Mountain.

There have been thousands of articles posted about this movie, praising it. If one article says anything not in line with that. i.e. it was an okay movie but not that great. The reviewer/writer gets murdered by an onslaught of negativity and accusations of being a bigot.

You could always refuse to comment, thereby doing your part not to perpetuate the attention. right?
I just dont like the movie or its premises. Thats all.
