I didn't like the adultery subplot. But the Sikh soldier was a great supporting character. Willen Dafoe was creepy as always.

One of my gay libertarian friends sometimes asks: "were there any brownshirts who WEREN'T total fags?"

That question can still be asked, only in reverse.

There are a few homosexuals who aren't brownshirts, if that's what you mean. My 2 or 3 gay LP friends are the exception: pistol packing free-market folks and the like.

Most other gay people I know are not political, they just want to be themselves and have no desire to be radical.

The radical homosexual lobby, in my opinion, is a very small but vocal minority.

I think he's physically attractive, not ugly.

His nose is about twice as big as my husband's, but otherwise very similar features, tall, thin, high forehead, long head. A very common type in Germany.

It was so, so, so bad. It was a terrible movie.

I recall renting it based on the hoopla expecting a good film, then actually turning it off it was so bad it was unwatchable

I thought the Sikh guy was gorgeous, to die for. Juliette Binoche simply lovely. Willem Dafoe is one of our greatest supporting actors. The sets were beautiful, the cinematography lush and stunning.

The story about the adultery -- well, it wasn't presented as if they were good people. They both died painful but romantic deaths, which is of course de rigeur in adultery plots.

Handsome men and beautiful women rarely do well at intelligence fieldwork. Too easily recognized. Mata Hari ended up shot...

And we don't even want to get into all the men who were hung.

the English Patient was the worst effen movie of all time.

That is no lie. I'm a female and I couldn't see what all the hubbub was about. No chemistry between the main characters.

Second worse movie that everyone else loved? Four Weddings and a Funeral. Jebus, Mary, and Joseph what a snoze.

I shall be shunned by many of the Sisterhood for saying this, but I despise Pretty Woman. Absolutely hate it. Thinking about it right now makes me want to heave.

If you make fun of Star Trek again, even tangentially - you're done at this site.

I work in a heavily Gay environment. Its incredible how apolitical or moderate most of my coworkers and customers are.

Yeah, he was one Sikh bastard wasn't he? ;-)

(Sikhs have a sense of humor)
