Brokeback Canada: Gay movie is a hot ticket in Canada
Vancouver Courier ^ | December 29, 2005 | Fred Lee

Another hot ticket was Odeon Films and B.C. PWA’s premiere screening of Brokeback Mountain. B.C. Person’s With AIDS Society chair Paul Lewand welcomed a full house to the benefit showing. The epic American love story from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ang Lee, based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx, had the Fifth Avenue Cinema audience all hot and buttered. More bothered than buttered, Lewand is also currently embroiled in a dispute (along with artist Tiko Kerr and gay priest Michael Forshaw) with Health Canada to have compassionate access to the experimental HIV drugs TMC 114 and TMC 125.

Homosexuals just can't seem to stop themselves can they.

What is it...the cold weather...being confined inside?

Why did the geography of this not surprise me?

This is getting to be a "chicken % egg question. Which came first, liberalism or in-your-face homosexuality?

"all hot and buttered"

Morford writes the same way, like he's writing a gay
porn novel with every column.

Stuff like that is why I keep being convinced homosexuality is a deviancy. Nothing about their sexuality seems normal.

The epic American love story...

I'll bet it was a real hoot watching the hosers eatin' donuts and drinking beers while watching two homosexual sheepherders gettin' it on up there on the silver screen. I'd have to pass on this one.

Yeah, but in this version Richard Simmons is playing Rhett Butler and Scarlet O'Hara, Emo Phillips.

Emo Philips is definitely not the right casting if you're looking for a gay GWTW character!

The "I wish I knew how to quit you" line has become quite the joke. There are reports of people howling with laughter at the trailer.

It may have what it takes to become one of the great comedy lines of all time, like "Where's the beef?", or "Wasssup?"

Nothing shuts up stupidity like good honest laughter.

Eager Canadians proud to show they can be more politically correct, culturally sensitive and diverse than its American neighbors by honoring its left wing friends in Hollywood.

Canadian's names are probably published on an "enemies of the
motherland" list if they don't see the fagfest.

I know I'm hopelessly un-hip, but "compassionate access" is a new one on me (especially in this context).

"Compassionate access" means somebody else pays for it against their will so you can have it free.

As far as I know, none of the stories about the huge financial success of this movie have honestly mentioned that 20% of its total boxoffice receipts have come from just 5 movie theaters, located in predictable neighborhoods.
