From what I see in this article, FIVE men saw this film on the evening this reporter did her interviews.

That's considered a "majority" in Liberal Land! *Rolleyes*

[rattrap]

Probably better to face it than have your back to it.

[KC_Conspirator]

I sense a high reading on the BS meter.

[Semper Paratus]

You could feel the pain at the end

I bet I know what scene he was referring to. LOL!

[DesignerChick]

Something about this article just ain't right.

Curtis Wittwer was somewhat reluctant to see a film about two cowboys in love. The 64-year-old retired state worker, who saw "Brokeback Mountain" with his girlfriend Tuesday night, said he doesn't ordinarily seek out gay-themed movies. Still, he counted five reasons for seeing the film: It's a western, it's directed by Ang Lee, the screenplay is co-written by Larry McMurtry and it's been getting rave reviews. Plus, he was egged on after reading a New York Times piece by Larry David in which the comedian satirically complains that watching the movie could turn him gay.

"It was just a beautiful movie. You could feel the pain at the end," said Wittwer.

Yes, and which end, too!

Where's the triple-bag barf alert!

"It was too open. Like they were going to make a miniseries out of it. 'Tune in Sunday on CBS...' "

Oh but they will.

Five men took their 'beards' to see a gay sheepherder movie. Wow. There would higher attendance from Al Franken's makeup crew.

In fact, the majority of the men seeing "Brokeback Mountain" said they were the ones who talked their wives or girlfriends into going to the movie.

Men????????? (sensative metrosexual types perhaps)

.....You could feel the pain at the end," said Wittwer.

I bet.........

His son Chuck, meanwhile, was seeing the film for the second time, having already caught it in New York, on his way home from Ithaca College.

All you need to know.

[petro45acp]

Not gay cowboys, gay sheepherders!

"...where men are men and sheep are ..... ok with that..."

"His son Chuck, meanwhile, was seeing the film for the second time,
having already caught it in New York, on his way home from Ithaca College."

So Ithaca really is the "city of evil". I think that's how a frequent
poster terms it.

I won't be seeing Brokebutt Mountain, so I won't be giving a review.

Yes.
I'm sure they could.

[HEY4QDEMS]

He likened it to "seeing 'Passion of the Christ' in Vatican City."

Speechless.

[GSWarrior]

I'm not going to see this movie cuz I hate weepy love stories...no matter who they are about.
