I am sad to see Hollywood to get ever more delusional with flops like BM. What happened to the Hollywood that gave us "Philadelphia'?

Flops like BM. Does BM mean "bowel movement"?

And the winner for Hollywood's word of the year is "Brokeback," All I can say is if anybody calls me brokeback they'd better be smiling when they say it because otherwise I'd have to take it as an insult and fighting words.
Hollywood thinks they have made some sort of social breakthrough for homosexuals with this movie but actually all they have accomplished is adding another funny but cruel slur to our vocabulary to augment other funny but derogatory slurs like pillow-biter and fudgepacker.

According to boxofficemojo.com, Syriana has grossed $52.4 million -- production budget (not including promotions) of $50.0 million. The site estimates that a movie needs to gross at least double the budget to break even -- so, yes, it's a bomb.
However, by the time the DVD and TV markets are factored in, it'll probably be in the black. Sometimes Hollywood seems to be imune from market forces.

The hollyweird clowns didn't know what a joke they would make out of their attempt to shove their deviant life styles down our throats.
My family and friends have now taken to calling the "alternate lifestyle" crowd brokebackers. And, as diragatorily as we intend it, it still can be done without the PC backlash stigma of saying faggot, queer, girly man, etc. The left doesn't yet know how to react to this new term.

You have to remember that they are pretend people and have sense of the real world.

Every time I see a cowboy on TV, even the tough bull riders, I think of this movie.
Cowboys should beat the crap out of the actors, director, producer and anyone else having anything to do with the making of this "movie".

Funny how few people have pointed this out.

I've always wondered what the craft people on the set of a movie like Brokeback think about. I'll bet they don't crowd around to gawk at the nekkid actors.
