ROFL!!!
Bold emphasis mine.
"Only one"? Weeeelllll wooooo-hoooooo!! Take the whole family!!! There's only one gay sex scene. Just one. We are indeed blessed to have film makers of such taste, modesty and understatedness. I mean hell, they could have shown sodomy from the get go until the final credits but instead, they gave us only a single, tastefully done humping scene. Excellent.
Gag!!!
Whoever wrote this review is a homo. Period. He's positively thrilled at the homosexual fantasy he's just witnessed and it sticks out like a sore thumb. This film is just a homo's wet dream and nothing more. The themes, i.e "inside every straight guy there's a little bit of the homosexual" and "even tough ranch hands like to walk on the wild side occasionally", are simply perverse.
" A serious contemplation of loneliness and connection", my fanny.
USCCB shows why the recent Vatican document and current seminary visitation are so desperately needed.
Can we finally declare AmChurch in shism, yet?
"...-- a serious contemplation of loneliness and connection..."
For shame. This should be used as a teaching moment. That loneliness should be addressed by sex is wrong. That is what has created this messs of a culture. People are lonely and are convinced sex is the way out, or that pleasures taken in the wrong way in the wrong relationships with the wrong attitude are someone enriching.
For shame on these Shepherds of Christ who foresake what God actually wants humanity to resemble, and embrace the World's notion of what humans must become.
Let them eat cake.
"Women will see this." I doubt it. Why pay for a stomach-turning view of something you can see in the big city any day? YUCK.
This whole post cracked me up. =D
Wyoming + cowboys + story of hate-crime murder + gay + sheppard = Matthew Sheppard
The USSCB needs to be disbanded...yesterday. They are worse than useless. They actually do harm and cause scandal to the faithful.
I suggest that the reviewer has issues the reviewer needs to consider before reviewing things...like Catholic teaching.
The president of the Catholic League, Bill Donohue, will be on Scarborough Country tonight. I called the League this morning and was told I was the first one to complain about the USCCB review, so if anyone is interested please call the Catholic League and let them know that you hope that Mr. Donohue addresses this matter in his TV appearance and website. They did suggest that I call my Bishop, which I intend to do. Please do the same. I would never ever have thought that this movie would get an L rating from the USCCB.Ever.
That's for sure.
It also should have gotten a rating of RSA-p (racist, sexist, anti-police). Same ole formula: weak non-minority male gets straightened out by the strong, good, smart, balanced, sane minority males and women (especially minority women) while police are all sexist, racist, non-minority thugs.
Typical Sleazywood fare.
Um, chae? That is every bit as sick and wrong as male homoerotics. If your boyfriend seriously finds lesbian sex scenes attractive, then his sexuality has been distorted by the porn culture. It isn't healthy for men to relate to women that way, and it isn't even authentic to the nature of man and woman. It's a serious disorder, not a joke.
I agree. Why not an O rating ? They missed the boat on this one.
There is a lot of inconsistency among the movie reviews put out by the USCCB. If you go to their website (just Google "bishops movie reviews") You'll find that they have a review for nearly every movie ever made. Obviously there are many different reviewers that have worked on this task since no person could have seen all these movies. Many of the reviewers are not bishops themselves, they are lay Catholics. In fact I imagine that the typical bishop is too busy to be a movie critic.
In any case, there's a lot of inconsistency among the reviews, probably due to different reviewers. Some reviews are overly sensitive and end up giving an O (i.e., no one should see it at all) to movies like "Caddyshack." Other reviews are overly permissive and give a pass to movies that should clearly get an O.
Even though lay people are mostly responsible for these reviews, it is still very bad that the USCCB is putting a stamp of approval on these things. Of course given the past activities of the USCCB, this is hardly a surprise. I thought I remember hearing that Pope Benedict would like to limit the power of national bishops conferences - if so, I hope he gets cracking soon!
