Brokeback Mountain will be a US$100 million hit, but only for the curiousity factor. Even Michael Medved--who intensely disliked the subject matter of the film--said this movie had excellent acting performances (especially Heath Ledger, who will definitely get nominated for possibly a Best Actor Oscar) and flat-out superb cinematography.

Don't bet anything you can't afford to lose on that prediction.

I doubt it. . .I saw somewhere that Broke-butt Mountain opened in something like 200 theaters nationwide, and a week later, numbers are already approaching zero. . . .

You'd think, after Narnia, The Passion of the Christ, and Lord of the Rings, and, heck, even Spiderman. . .that decent movies with family positive values will pack 'em in to the theater week after week. . .and shows like Broke-Butt Mountain. . .well, THEIR target audience is busy packing something else into another place where the sun don't shine. .. .

"flat-out superb cinematography"

Ang Lee is famous for that. I read somewhere that he's a bisexual so no surprise he'd use all his skill making something ugly look good.
