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.

Will Canada jail movie critics who pan this bum of a flick?

Chi com director makes asses out of Americans...insults Wyoming and the American cowboy legacy.

The whole story line is total B.S. these sodomites weren't even cowboys...

This is the Hollywood sodomite revenge for Mathew Shepherd and another foray into trying to mainstream perversion while at the same time persuade young minds while creating a sodomite cult classic.

Wonder if the chi com is also a sodomite or just an agent of social anarchy working in his little red brother's behest?

This movie keeps harping on the fact that it has high "per theatre" numbers; however, they purposely opened in fewer theaters to bring out those numbers! The movie was hyped to the max, so you've got people cramming into the few theaters where it's released - instant good numbers for your movie!

Agreed. It most certainly fits the subject of this thread! A "double bagger" for sure.

I always thought Dudley DuRight was a bit odd.

Top Ten Signs You're A Gay Cowboy

10. "Your saddle is Versace"

9. "Instead of 'Home On The Range', you sing 'It's Raining Men'"

8. "You enjoy ridin', ropin', and redecoratin'"

7. "Sold your livestock to buy tickets to 'Mamma Mia'"

6. "After watching reruns of 'Gunsmoke', you have to take a cold shower"

5. "Native Americans refer to you as 'Dances With Men'"

4. "You've been lassoed more times than most steers"

3. "You're wearing chaps, yet your 'ranch' is in Chelsea"

2. "Instead of a saloon you prefer a salon"

1. "You love riding, but you don't have a horse"

This tale of rump wranglers is guaranteed to win every Hollywood award Best Picture, Best Director, Best Male Actor, Best Male Female Actor .... the Croix de Guerre.

Opens a whole new genre with prequels, sequels, character spinoffs, TV series, Brokeback anatomically correct action figures.

We're going to be up to our asses with this stuff for years, longer than Star Wars!

From a FReeper:

“Brokeback Mountain ---- If a guy goes to see this movie because he wants to see it, he's gay.

If a guy goes to see this movie because his girlfriend wants to see it, he's too gay to have a girlfriend.

Yes I bet that the theaters in Medicene Hat and Calgary are empty, and they have actual cowboys there.
