Of course it's just a coincidence... I mean, there couldn't be any reason for it, could there?

Possibly, but I am tired of having this flick shoved down my throat.
No pun intended.
Maybe I will start feeling more compassionate towards adulterers now, because Hollyweird tells me it's okay. /s

Registered yesterday and posted this today, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
I have also heardthat the straight men in the movie are depicted as blundering fools, low-grade morons. Aside from the gay love scenes, why would straight men go and see a movie that showed them as crude savages?
I think the film industry has really jumped the shark on this one.

"Ben and Howdy are a couple of aging cowboys who bust broncos out of Sedona for Jim Ed Love, a slick operator if ever there was one. Sisters, Meg and Agatha, have their eyes on Ben and Howdy, but the boys aren't ready to settle down yet. They spend the winter in the high country corralling more than 100 stray cattle at $7 a head for Jim Ed. Most years, they blow their winter pay in one spring night at a Sedona bar, but this year, Ben and Howdy have a plan: to take an ornery roan that Ben has been unable to break and bet their bankroll that no cowboy at the Sedona rodeo can stay on the horse. What will they do if they win - marry the sisters or head for Tahiti?"

Glenn Ford - A talented and versatile performer equally at home in both drama and comedy, Mr. Ford brought a calm assuredness to the screen and was often cast in roles that required the hero to show courage and grace under pressure. He is probably best known for his work in oaters and was inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame by the Western Heritage Museum.
During his service with the Marines in World War II, he helped build safe houses in France for those hiding from the Nazis. Mr. Ford also served two tours of duty in Vietnam and is the only actor to have served with both the Green Berets and the French Foreign Legion. Among his numerous medals and commendations are the Medal of Honor, presented by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the French Legion of Honor Medal for his service in World War II, two commendation medals from the US Navy and the Vietnamese Legion of Merit.

Glenn Ford is still alive at near 90...
The TRUE struggle behind the issue is a spiritual one - they (homosexuals) are caught in the bondage of sin, and unless and untill they admit that they are sinning, they cannot escape that bondage.
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
God has spoken rather forcefully on the homosexual act. It is a sin. Now you and the writer may not like that but there it is. Pretending otherwise is simply pulling the pillow over ones head and screwing your eyes tightly shut. It gets you nowhere but makes you feel better.
You can argue all you want that men mounting men in the presence of sheep is a righteous thing, you just can't argue that God sees it the same way. Certainly God loves the homosexual but the homosexual act is a different mountain altogether.
ping for later
It's not homophobia, it's homoneausea! Most people are not afraid of queers. It's not like they are the Crips or the Bloods and might bust a cap in you. Because I had a good friend in high school who's dad was "confused" I met a lot of queer men. Besides being self-loathing and self-destructive they had a habit of having anal "sex?" with each other then oral "sex?" thereafter. That's what is repulsive to me. I don't really care if they do such things behind closed doors, it's their butt. But give me a break, in the scheme of things there just are not that many queers. Not so many that we have to read and hear about them over and over and over.
If folks want to go see some movie about queer sheep herders on horses that's A-OK with me. But count me out. I don't need to learn anything else about queers. All I ask is that they keep away from young people and stop trying to spread their stupidity to others so they can pretend that makes them normal.
That being said, I think I do have a grasp of how hard it is for someone to bring up and speak about their personal sins. We are all sinners...some have committed them in more grandiose fashion, but we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. But that's not the ending point to it. There are many who have been delivered from their homosexual lifestyles...and in denying that, the film also promotes the lie that it's just the way it is and it can't be changed.
Sorry, but the film is just propaganda, and one review isn't going to change that.
Can you imagine anyone else playing Jonathan Kent?
One of my favorite cowboys/actors.
Just signed on yesterday and this is your only post.
Care to come back with some responses?
Don't worry, I believe I have some freinds here that may invoke a few words of wisdom for you.
This movie seems destined to win several awards from the primarily liberal folks who vote for them.
My vote is with my dollars. I will not go to see the film because the theme doesn't interest me.
I am so sick of liberals throwing around the word "homophobia". An opinion based on a moral judgment is not a phobia. My fear of heights is a phobia. My view of homosexuality is an opinion. If opinions are phobias, then this author suffers from conservaphobia.
Its a wasted post, I suspect your a troll anyway.
Well, John Schneider (the real Bo Duke) has done a decent job with the role in Smallville, and Tom Weller is a better Clark Kent than Christopher Reeve ever thought about being.
I suspect the kitties will be well fed today!
