Yep I agree. I never saw Brokeback and never want to see it.

I recall it was nominated for the best picture Oscar. I recall loudmouth activists complained it lost out on the best picture award because of the subject matter, Academy voters were homophobic, etc. To them it was the greatest groundbreaking movie of all time.

Funny though that today, nobody even talks about it.

Steyn on that point...
The film was supposed to be a provocation, and MSNBC and the rest of the gang blamed the "Christian right" for deliberately killing the movie by refusing to be provoked. Instead, the supposedly uptight right contented themselves with a few easygoing gags about the first western in which the good guys get it in the end. Which is funny, but not enough to get the mob stampeding the multiplexes.
"Refusing to be provoked" -- LOL.

I tried to watch it once and had to turn it off halfway through. It was cringe inducing and depressing.
