Hollywood yearly profits are already in the toilet, and if producers thinks that queer movies will fill empty seats across the country they're living in a bubble.
Homo movies may make short term profits - until the novelty wears off. Then what?
There are men here posting on Free Republic who went to see this movie and defended their actions. If watching two queer men is of interest to them and they are willing to spend their money supporting this type of film, what does that say about these people? Do some males at FR really find male with male sex appealing?
Well, Hollyweird is full of gays so it makes sense that they'd think this is a good idea.
Let's face it: Randolph Scott was gay, and he was one of the most famous movie cowboys ever.
And no, I haven't seen the movie nor do I plan to.
I'd have to say that anyone who knowingly goes to a movie to watch a pair of gay cowboys (or gay anybody) definitely has some unresolved issues.
Best wishes to all for a happy and successful 2006!

Sung to Manilow's "Copa Cabana"
His name was Ennis
He was a Shepard
With cowboy hat and assless chaps
He should have kept it under wraps
He would merengue and do the cha-cha
And when he'd drink and fall asleep
Jack Twist tended to the sheep
Across the mountain heights
They worked the summer nights
They were young and they had each other
And had rough sex fights
Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting
Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
They felt the passion as they discussed fashion
Up at Brokeback
.... they fell in love
Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
He was the boss man
He did some firing
When he went to the mountain top
And he saw Ennis getting bopped
And when they finished, he fired them pronto
Later Jack went a bit too far
Gay bashers saw him at a bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting
Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
They felt the passion as they discussed fashion
Up at Brokeback
.... he lost his love
His name was Ennis, he was a shepherd
But that was a long time ago, when closets hid more than clothes
Now gays have pride days, but not our Ennis
Still in the chaps he used to wear, faded feathers in his hair
He sits there so refined, and drinks himself half-blind
He lost his Jack and he lost his family
Taking it from behind!
Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
Those gay cowboys, they did some mounting
Up at Brokeback, Brokeback Mountain
They felt the passion as they discussed fashion
Up at Brokeback
.... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
Not one dime for this crap. If it was about money, Hollywood would be turning out wholesome movies for the more mainstream population, not thinly veiled homo porn.
It is all about mainstreaming deviant behaviour. Let them go broke, and good riddance.
I see a parody here. Read it again.
