Gays in Hollywood. Who knew?

We've had a gay Western and are about to have a gay Bond - what new genre can be plumbed (sorry) for a little shock value? Gay space aliens? Nope, been done - Flesh Gordon. Gay Frankenstein? Rocky Horror. Gay diggers? Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Let's face it, there isn't a lot of new territory...wait a minute. I got it. A gay musical! Why didn't somebody think of that one before?

The last movie I watched that I actually enjoyed was The Aviator. It's been a bad year for movies.

"I'm not sure Hollywood's really ready for widespread gay content in films yet," he said."

What's with the word "yet"? How about EVER!

The Tommy Lee Jones-directed 'Thee Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada' is a nice piece of work. Faulkner and O'Connor influenced in a lot of ways.

Perversion is popular and profitable. Gee, only Hollywood could embrace the gay agenda with a gusto, if only to poke its collective thumb in the eyes of Middle America. Its the ultimate in cultural rebellion against staid bourgeois values.

Really? I've read some reviews that were luke warm. I kinda picture it as a Cormac-y McCarthy type of deal. All the Pretty Horses, etc...

It never has, never will be okay at the box office. They open this piece of dung on a handful of screens in sodocentric neighborhoods and then they claim to have great per screen numbers.

Liars, liars, damned liars.

It's at 75 million as of now which is pretty good for a small film like this.

Perversion is popular with the elites. As to how profitable it is, I hear the Chronicles of Narnia is killing Brokeback Mountain. I don't think Brokeback Mountain will even hit 100 million.

Please don't compare this movie to dung. Various kinds of dung such as cow, chicken and even properly composted horse or goat dung makes very good compost for the garden; whereas this movie is good for nothing, composted or not.
