Pamela Anderson is trailer trash!
I think you will like both movies.
Brokeback instantly became an American cinematic classic. Crash most definitely is not.
Thanks for the warning. McMurtry has/HAD such a beautiful way to tell a story. I would have assumed "Streets of Laredo" was equally beautifully told. After "Brokeback" though, McMurtry has a long way to go for me to be interested in his writings.
Well, it's the first time a Taiwanese director won something of this caliber. Maybe the next time it'll be for an apolitical film.
I thought Brokeback got the shaft. :o)
I agree and I never said it was a bad thing, just pointed it out because he seemed to defend the movie quite a bit.
I moved to Charlotte after Nashville, which is a very similar city- big and growing rapidly but still with a manageable feel. I'm now living in Atlanta. Talk about a boomtown. Atlanta's fantastic, but you don't want Nashville to ever get this big!
Oh...I LIKED him, a lot...because he kept gigging the stars and the whole production...but, I think THEY didn't like being made fun of.
That's what FReepers are for... ;-)
Canadians have trailer parks?
Regardless of what it lacked in realism, I never lost interest.
It was an interesting movie, albeit a bit far fetched.
I apologize. Ignorance is one of my pet peeves.
Carry on.
Why am I not surprised you two "what culture war?" FReepers would see no problem with all this PC crap?
So it's not just the South bashing and La Migra you are PC on?
LOL
Why would most of us wish to see something we find repugnant?
Do I really need to see a queer get all soft and spit for lube before sodomizing another man....and to hear folks call that tender?
Homosexuality is about sex....not male bonding and companionship.
and all that real man talk and nuance is a big damned lie....even redneck queers talk like sissies.....all the ones I've known anyhow
you two have children?
I'm glad the homo trifecta got beat.
(((Hugs)))
LIBERALS DEMANDING OSCAR VOTE RECOUNT!!!
All of thier Exit Poles showed that Brokeback would win by a buttload!!!!
Atlanta and Charlotte have crime issues that thankfully Nashville does not have in the same proportion.
