I said the "Book of Daniel" was actually dead on arrival. And...so is Geena (Hillary Clinton) Davis in "Commander-in-Chief"! And...I was right. I have also said the the movie "Brokeback Mountain" will do more damage to gays then it will do good. While the movie is being raved about by the left-wing, liberal, gay, Democrat sorts, the fact is, the only reason has it has good revenue stream is that gays and left-wing Democrats are seeing it over and over again to drive the dollar numbers up. Same scenerio via Fahrenheit 911. $119M in revenue, but beaten into the ground by a $100K political ad produced by the Swift Boat Vets.

Gays like Democrats always overreach, and you will see that time will undo "Brokeback Mountain" the same way Fahrenheit 911 had no political impact whatsoever. You cannot pee down most folks backs and tell them it's raining. It just does not work. The films of the day, Munich, Syriana, Good Night & Good Luck, Brokeback Mountain are all dead on arrival. Check out the revenue numbers. Now a muscle movie, like Disney's "Narnia" sitting at close to $300M domestically and another $300M internationally should be a winner because it was a great picture about the forces of family and, evil versus good. Methinks, and this is only a hunch, the Academy will award the best picture to "Walk the Line" (June Carter & Johnny Cash) We shall see. I think "Hollywood" is getting nervous!!! I have nothing against gays, but really, fags just don't cut it in the "real" world of common folk!!!

On new years day an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel featured a futurist predicting that future generations would look back on Brokeback Mountain as the catalyst that got gay marriage accepted. Then the poor, arrogant man actually said that 2006 was the year that everyone would realize that one of their friends is gay.

Who does he think would be seeing this movie that would have their minds changed? How many people who oppose gay marriage has he actually talked to? And people say the President lives in a bubble.
