I’ll see a movie in a theater perhaps every three years. The last one I tried to see was 2000 Mules but they sold out for the promotional release.

Before that, I really don’t remember.

The publicity around thatovie was enormous, so while a very few people may have been “tricked”, I’m guessing that most of the people who saw Brokeback Mountain knew exactly what it was about.

Re: "How did Brokeback Mountain make $180 million?"

That is a good counterpoint to alleged homophobia.

I have not seen Brokeback, but it does have an all star cast - Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Also a famous director and a famous screen writer - Ang Lee and Larry McMurtry.

I hear you. I’m basically the same. I did see Top Gun and Midway by choice, though. Other times I get dragged to the theater as part of a group. You can’t sit through 5 minutes of movie previews these days without seeing that Hollywood is dripping in Cultural Marxism and just plain faggotry

I’m sure that I would be shocked anew if I ever when to a movie today. The previews are absolutely x-rated.

We watched “Top Gun Maverick” Saturday night. It was pretty good.
Cruise keeps himself in pretty good shape. He knows how to treat his audience, not like this gay Nazi who is screaming “ You VILL see dis movie, or ELSE!”

And yes, the subject matter is disgusting.
How dare this idiot tell us how to spend our money! He can’t see beyond his own prejudices to understand why his movie flopped.

Has time yet done a pedo cover? Serious question. These are bell weathers just as the Oprah show used to push out the next perversion to be ‘normalized’.

The song was good.

Maybe Richard Gere should’ve Starred in this movie- they might’ve gotten a few more bucks out of it.🙄

I wonder if Eichner shouting to the rooftops that he didn’t want anyone who supports Trump watching his movie had any impact?

Insult and piss off half of your potential ticket buyers; now, there’s a brilliant marketing strategy.

I do not need my bowels examined.

And we don’t want to examine theirs, either!

I think that the movie previews ALONE are reason enough to stay away from theatres. When I did go to the theatre, it was to see a movie, not commercials.

Why would I ever go to a movie that would make me puke?
