I would say this is a "stealth" rump-ranger movie. Not getting very good returns in the box office so now they are going to have to soft sell it to the innocent. Small town America is better informed. Movie has had it!!!

This movie is filthy propaganda. Thats not hyperbole. I just love the ads with Anne Hathway (from "Princess Diaries") holding a baby. Its so dishonest.

Hollywood is trying to convince America that sex between men who share a lot of time and camaraderie is not an uncommon thing. Should this movie recieve any recognition, a movie with male frontline soldiers having sex in the field with each other will follow. You can bet on it.

Liberalism is built upon lies.

...Jay Severin, a libertarian/conservative radio talk show host in the Massachusetts area (yes...as strange as that sounds) put it best when he said that this part of a concerted effort by hollywood liberals to deconstruct America, take everything about it that is good, and corrupt or destroy it.

This movie is from are the same people who could not tolerate Mel gibson's Passion, and now try to ram "the book of daniel" heretical feces onto our screens.

Homosexual activity is wrong. Homosexual "love" is nothing more than submission to the basest perverted mechanizations. It is a complete defilement of God's intentions, for sexual conduct, and human relationships. It is anathema to Christians, and accurately reflects the lowly slimes, in the production of this crap.

I do not understand why homosexual activity has developed into a "protected lifestyle"? In reality, there are probably less than ONE (1%) queers among us. But, they have the power of Democrat panderers and their 'Pubbie cohorts behind them (sic)...

Where are our legions?

Good point about the "stealth" nature of liberalism! That's why Democrats can't win - either they're honest and America rejects them, or they try to straddle the fence and are rightly perceived as insincere and deceptive.

This film will NOT do well at the box office (and who will ever know whether anyone just bought blocs of tickets for empty seats), but I'd bet six months pay it will win best picture in all the awards - Golden Globe, Oscar, etc.

I had a terrible stomach virus and insomnia last night, and was flipping chennels. Bill Maher (ecch!!!) was on HBO. If you want to know what the leftist entertainment crowd REALLY thinks of us, watch that if you can stomach it. I forced myself to see a segment just to know what's out there. Disgusting.

---I have seen the prevue twice and would say that you have to be born yesterday or have lived under a rock for the last twenty years to not grasp the general theme of this movie from just two or three of the lines---

Similarly, the commercials for 'Million Dollar Baby' were also made to look like it was a female 'Rocky' movie.

How does that Al Franken saying go again, "The Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell"? Hollywood is committing suicide, unassisted.

I suppose one would need to live under a rock to be surprised.

That was gonna be my comment to you before I finished reading your post. Any savvy moviegoer knows what this is about.

And, quite frankly, anyone who spends $8-10 on a ticket and doesn't know what it's about can't blame anyone but themselves.

I saw that promo a week or so ago. As I recall, the last scene showed two guys sitting on a hill looking at a herd of sheep in the flat lands below.

My reaction was, knowing the theme of the movie,that those sheep must be awful nervous.

"This is perfectly normal and common behavior amongst cowboys..."

The queers in the movie were shepherds.

What is interesting is that I heard a caller on Michael Medved's radio show yesterday mention that a theater complex in Orange County, CA claimed that Brokeback Mountain was sold out when in real truth the screening room showing the movie was close to empty! When the caller asked about this he nearly got booted out of the theater.

The ad I saw on Christmas day called the movie "a classic american love story."

Could not believe it.

And so it is with this film. I can easily see some people going to see it based on the preview, and being unpleasantly surprised. But perhaps not, I suppose one would need to live under a rock to be surprised.

Well this is what they are going to be surprised about in the experience which will occur. From Family Media Guide Brokeback Mountain Review
Sexual Examples in context: A man kneels behind another man who is on his hands and knees and they engage in sodomy.

From pluggedinonline.com review
Several scenes show the two men groping each other and kissing. (Half the time it looks more like forceful mashing than kissing.) Once, the camera keeps staring as kisses give way to anal sex. (There's no nudity shown, but the sequence is explicit; it includes sexual motions and sounds.)

If you search FR you'll find a thread where a FReeper witnessed a bogus 'SOLD OUT' placed on the ticket window at the start time for the movie. He was going to another movie and was curious if this was really so, so he looked in the theater where BBM was showing and only saw a few people. Anyway, he asked the manager about this and the guy refused to comment. Seems that public perceptions are being manipulated big time with this propaganda piece.

There was NOTHING that might indicate to you the controversial nature of the movie.

But if they'd shown any faggotry on the commercial, Freepers would have complained about that, too.

I know that my daughter-in-law didn't know what the movie was about. She was shocked when I told her.

A lot of movie commercials are misleading. That's just how it is in marketing Hollywood. The goal is to get as many people into the theaters as possible. And no one, unless they've been living under a rock, is clueless about BBM's plot. I have to ask this, though, and if I get flamed, so be it. Why is portraying two gay men any more offensive than movies that show murders, rapes, adultry, etc? We seem to accept movies that involve other sins and vices, yet everyone is up in arms about two gay guys?.Are people upset because being gay is becoming mainstream? Adultry is mainstream (WAY before Bill Clinton, I might add) in the media, yet most people find it disgusting. It's the plot of many movies, tv shows, books, etc. Murder? Don't get me started. Half the tv shows and movies wouldn't exist without murder in the plot. Yet most of us aren't indoctrinated into the "murdering" lifestyle by watching a stupid movie.

If you don't like the movie, don't watch it.
