It will win Best Picture. Hollywood is determined to give a big rectal push for gayism.
Read Mark Steyn's review of the movie - www.marksteyn.com Sounds pretty unfriendly for gays - the guys end up in abysmal situations not because they are forced to "live a lie" but because they are self absorbed with out of control sexual appetites.
Hmmm might make a good case for manogamy and chastity.
You've nailed it.
Remember when they all wore the "red ribbon" to support AIDS?
I'm sure many of them did out of conviction, but if they didn't, they would be a bigot in their own minds - and of others, in a town with a fast job turnover.
As Rush says, "This ribbons says I care more than you!"
They are terrified if they don't vote for it, inside they may be a "secret homophobe"! Egads!
Laura Ingraham said it was boring as hell. From waht I've gathered it is a boring, implausible, dumb story that has beautiful Wyoming scenery. But since its about poofers, it will win all the awards.
Even the name of the thing sucks! Who in the world would want to watch a couple of queer cowboy's in the first place?
You know with gays, you have the slave and you have the master. Jake was the slave, he was playing the part.
Why can't Hollywood get gays to play gays? Straights just will never get it right.
They'll also vote for it because it gives the finger to the average American...
It's rather surprising to me how remarkably well the film has done so far considering the limited release. When I paid my routine daily visit to Box Office Mojo this morning I did a double take at seeing BM was #1 for Tuesday. I put my glasses on to make sure I was seeing right. LOL
Personally I doubt that all the accolades it's received are due to some vast, sprawling conspiracy to turn America gay. By most accounts it's an extremely well-made and powerful movie, and even if it is the reaction wouldn't be universal. I don't know of any movie that someone, or rather many someones, don't much like. My sister-in-law thinks Return of the King is one of the worse movies around, which I think is deranged, but whatever!
It still made $1 billion bucks.
If anybody thinks this is getting any awards for quality, they are mistaken. The only reason it is getting play is because of its perverse agenda and so Hollywood can shove its filth in the face of America.
It appears to me that these awards are handed out today for a film's political content, and not for artistic merit. If the film makes a "progressive" (left) political statement, it wins.
In related news, Spielberg was whining yesterday about his "Munich" bombing at the box office. The $70M movie has taken-in just $33M. There is justice in the world.
Is the vote anonymous?
I understand what you are saying - - that the liberals who dominate "the Academy" will tend to vote their guilt and their vain "enlightened superiority" over quality and substance - - but is there a viable alternative for the brighter voters to hang their hats on? (I don't even know what's in the running but there MUST be a quality film out there SOMEWHERE.)
San Antonio KENS tv anchorman Chris Marrou indulged in a little impromptu humor at the end of the 5 p.m. news the other day. To some, however, it was anything but funny.
The comments led to complaints to the KENS newsroom and apologies to viewers from Executive News Director Kurt Davis.
Marrou made the remarks Tuesday evening after a report on the People's Choice Awards and Reese Witherspoon's win for best actress in "Walk the Line."
"Why didn't they just give one of those guys from 'Brokeback Mountain' best actress?" he quipped.
That brought an "ooh" from co-anchor Deborah Knapp. But that wasn't the end of it.
Bill Taylor then wondered how Heath Ledger (who plays one of the gay cowboys in "Brokeback Mountain") also could be legendary lothario Casanova in another movie just out.
"That's right," Marrou said. "He plays it both ways."
Cowboys? Brokebutt Mountain is about homosexual sheep herders! How pathetic can they get? SoddomWood has a BP Oscar that barely breaks even.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Bush could stop any further awards in their tracks. If the Prez told a reporter that he just loved Brokeback Mountain, thought it was the best of the year, and dared Hollywood to give it all the Oscars it is nominated for we would never hear about it again.
Hollyweird's message: Movies about buttsex win awards.
All Bareback Mountain is is another recycle of the Same Time Next Year plot, with the gay twist. Sounds like there isn't much reason in the movie for the "next year" part.
Still debating whether or not to go see it, out of boredom.
