I am doubtful about this films commercial prospects. I have twice seen trailers for Brokeback Mountain in theaters in Northern Virginia. On both occasions the audience started laughing halfway through.

Apparently, they do eat meat. My guess is that they can have their pudding since they do eat meat.

The last world wide hit they had out of hollywierd they denounced, "The Passion of The Christ", and that was only made because of Mel Gibson. I expect Mel Gibson's production company to do well. They will make the movies that Hollywood no longer feels like making, but which America wants to see

This is the only way that Hollywood has left in its arsenal to protest.

My thoughts too!Liberal scum want to trash all that is good in the American lore and myth. So the cowboys of the West are the next.

Well ya know you are probably right about cownoys on a lonesome night taking advantage, but I doubt they took advantage of a queer, More likely a good looking hereford.
To: RWR8189
Hollyweird fawned and fainted all over Michael Moore not too long ago. Next year they'll be into bestiality.
This is really no shock.
To: radiohead
well, according to the movie's website synopsis, the cowboys not only had that one night but reattached years later, and carried it forward......homes and family notwithstanding.
To: RWR8189
it gives the liberal-leaning Academy a great chance to stick its thumb in conservatives' eyesBrilliant. You go right ahead, you idjuts.
Let's just see how low total ticket sales can go.
These maroons will never understand that we stupid "little people" are the ones they need to buy their crap. Count me out!

At the box office, this will sink alongside "Alexander" and "Kinsley" and "De-Lovely". If a major Oscar contender, it will be the lowest rated Oscars in television history.

I haven't watched the Oscars since the mid-90's, when the GOP Congress wanted to cut funding to the NEA and the Hollywierdos threw a hissy fit.
I don't go to movies anymore. To paraphrase another FReeper, the messages in their movies rub me the wrong way to such a degree that I'd rather visit the dentist.
Hollywood (deviants, Communist apparatchiks, Christianity-haters, the whole lot of them) needs to be punished for their war on our values. Bankruptcy sounds like an appropriate punishment to me.

I saw a preview of this movie with a friend. I'd never heard of it, but she had read a lot of press in which the gay aspect was played up quite a bit. However, when you see the preview, it seems pretty clear that these guys aren't gay, but got carried while riding the range one night. These are not 'gay cowboys,' tho the gay press may want to make them so.
I suggest you read any synopsis of this movie and you'll see it is exactly a gay movie, and in fact it seems as if they mean to convey that the men's love for each other endures and transcends time and their marriages to women. I think this is an activist movie that means to show that gay love is not only acceptable, but better than hetero love, and that the "normal" paths people take with their lives are unfulfilling when compared to this supposed eternal gay love.

I find it somewhat humerous, in a sick way, that Gyllenhall wasted no time in grabbing a military movie where he could play a macho Marine.....
..and Ledger wasted no time getting some girlfriend pregnant to show how manly man he is.
..all, after making this movie.
To: Recovering_Democrat
I agree .. this will just cement the conservatives against Hollywood - causing more boycotting of movies. The studios are already hurting .. and yet they don't get it.
