Bush on 'Brokeback,' Didn't See, Can't Tell

The kid's probably been smothered with estrogen since the day he was born.

Both externally and, I suspect, internally.

BTW, the kid from the remote ranch whom Simon decided to bring to Hollywood also seemed light in the loafers to me. This is shaping up to be a very strange season, so far.

OMG! You got to see one of his "best" really really LIVE?
That is great - glad you got that "happening". Did he appear to be as relaxed as viewed on tv?

"Brokeback Gridiron"

Starring Michael Chiklis as "7"

"His most daring role yet!" -- Ebert & Roeper

"He's won the Oscar of my heart!" -- Rex Reed

Garrett the cowboy? I don't know ... he seemed okay to me, though his choice of an Elton John song is a bit suspect :)

[pollyannaish]

What the heck is this story covering exactly? He's a Rancher in name only...because he hasn't seen Brokeback Mountain.

This is movie bit is becoming insane. I would put money on the fact that you could count the number of actual ranchers who have seen this movie on, what, one hand?

[rwfromkansas]

He was very relaxed.

This was definitely one of the top 5 experiences of my life.

I am REALLY glad I had the nerve to request press credentials for this (since I am officially a member of the press...just college though, I thought I would give it a try). They didn't care that I was just college.

Incredible experience. :)))))

Got Wood?

Garrett the cowboy? I don't know ... he seemed okay to me...

I'll defer to your judgment on these things. How old is he? I didn't catch his age. Randy and Simon are right about one thing...there is a voice inside that kid, but whether or not vocal training will help him improve, I'm not sure.

[dynachrome]

It isn't "Fudgepack Mountin'"?

[silverleaf]

BROKEBACK CANDIDATES
They each lost more than a national election but at least they had their memories...



Psssst Al: About last night ... TerAYza's cool with it.

Garrett is somewhere between 16 and 18, I think. I don't believe he's ever been away from his ranch (going to Hollywood will be his firt time on a plane) so I give him slack for being a little awkward.

Who knows, he might make into the Top 12. I mean, if Mikalah can ... :)

"You would love it...you should check it out."

Well, George could probably have flipped the guy off with the following response, but he's too polite:

[schaketo]

Broke "what" mountain?

[jocon307]

"...and every single one of them feels the need to voice an opinion."

LOL, yes, and offer an alternative title!

I just did the math. "Passion of the Christ" did at least $600 million domestically which means approximately 92 million people saw it, or 31% of the population.

About 6.5 million people have supposedly seen BBM, which is approximately 2% of the population. Since the number of homosexuals in America is pegged at anywhere from 2 to 4%, I guess the majority of people seeing this movie are presumably of that persuasion.

Egads. I've been wearing cowboy boots for as long as I can remember. They are so comfortable, and make for handy and useful tools when ya need 'em. :)

Erotica is erotica. Political Identity "politics" players play on erotica as a political message carrier. IOW, your daughter is expressing some real emotion here -- and exactly, from all I've read, the film's purpose was -- to "titillate". Of course the ho-hum liberal elite are trying to call it an intellectual "master" piece. rofl.

[Fawn]

Why were they laughing at Bush's answer? I don't understand what was so funny.

[durasell]

BBM = a gay movie with straight cast members tirelessly promoted by conservatives through their outrage.

[tioga]

That is sooo bad. I love FReepers. LOL
