I have no interest in seeing this movie, but frankly I don't think it's that big a deal--seems more like one of those movies that would die a quick death if people against homosexuality would just ignore it.

But your first line is the truest thing I've read about this movie. If a male willingly sees this--whatever he tells anyone else--he's gay.

Your last line is already wrong, though. It's breaking records for per-screen ticket sales, and it was such a relatively low budget that it will probably make money. Women will see this; they don't need straight men to see it.

Exactly.

It is truly distressing, however, to see such a slobbering review from the USCCB.

"Women will see this." I doubt it. Why pay for a stomach-turning view of something you can see in the big city any day? YUCK.

Its only being shown on a handful of screens in the most gay activist communities. Of course its "per screen" sales are high. Try to show it somewhere outside the homosexual community and see how it does. Despite all the advertising and publicity, it will tank.

Bzzt! Wrong-o. This movie was made to get awards. That's why Ang Lee was made director. It won't make back its budget until after the Oscars. Even then, it'll be nip and tuck with overseas receipts and DVD and cable TV rights.
