Brokeback Mountain will you see it many times?

[joey tribiani]

Will you see Brokeback Mountain and if so how many times and how many copies of The DVD will you purchase?

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

1) Maybe

2) Depends on 1

3) At most 1, but depends on 1.

Isn't this all a bit premature?

[boogiedan]

i seen a glimpse of it a whil ago
mabye see it just the once!!

[Col. Decker]

I'm sure Modestas will see it many times.

[soulxtc]

I aint gonna see it, got better things to do than watch two cowboys make out for 2 and half hours..........lolololoo

[moneoa]

I can't stand regular romance movies...let alone a gay cowboy romance movie

[fleecy]

but will there be pudding?

[gorphon]

ummmmm..... well, I'm guessing there might be some fudge at least.

and I'm wondering. since when does a guy like joey tribiani get so excited about a gay cowboy movie?

I'm thinking that this isn't the REAL Friends superstar after all! I feel... betrayed.

[fleecy]

sorry, just making a south park joke.

edit: just realized this is a short story by annie proulx, on which the movie is based. she's an excellent writer, but i haven't read this one yet. hmmmm....

[Digital Bliss]

Only if the cowboys were alyson hannagan and franka poenta

[mfgbypooter]

We all know that you are going to get the DVD just for the deleted scenes.

ROTFL.........maybe its a typo, maybe its Joey's sister Jenny Trbiani.............

[mfgbypooter]

I can't believe this movie is going to get serious screen play.

I mean, come on, a movie about two rump rangers called Brokeback Mountain?

Yippee ki yay, butt brother!

[gorphon]

hell, it could be worse. just think, it could have been named BrokeNback Mountain.

[Dingo Xavier]

This the western where the good guys finally get it in the end?

[lil_amb]

What LOTD said seems to be the most logical.

[Potato]

IF I see it, and IF I like it, I MAY see it more than once.

[mfgbypooter]

Not since the Flintstones have you been able to have such a gay old time at the movies.

Utah Theater Cancels 'Brokeback Mountain'

SALT LAKE CITY - A movie theater owned by Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller abruptly changed its screening plans and decided not to show the film "Brokeback Mountain." The film, an R-rated Western gay romance story, was supposed to open Friday at the Megaplex at Jordan Commons in Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. Instead it was pulled from the schedule.

A message posted at the ticket window read: "There has been a change in booking and we will not be showing 'Brokeback Mountain.' We apologize for any inconvenience."

Cal Gunderson, manager of the Jordan Commons Megaplex, declined to comment.

Read entire story here (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060108/ap_on_en_mo/brokeback_canceled).

[Potato]

Gayle Ruzicka, president of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said not showing the film set an example for the people of Utah.

"I just think (pulling the show) tells the young people especially that maybe there is something wrong with this show," she said.
Can't shelter 'em forever.

[mcovey]

I won't see it because the theater near me is far to conservative, well, the whole town is, to show it. And with one screen, they've got an excuse not to - something else playing. Also I don't think I'll download it.

So no, no, no.
Comedy ftw.

[soulxtc]

This the western where the good guys finally get it in the end?

Maybe even like 50 cent style, up in the club or maybe in the parking lot...............

[shawners]

You see that Episode of EARL last week. He went to a boys camp that try to change kids who were evil into good adults.. They kept changing their slogans.. Name of Camp, touching bad boys since 1955. Turning bad boys around since 1955, Making bad boys kneel to the ground since 1955... lol A couple others. Pretty funny=)

[Mels_Smileys45]

I hope I never ever ever ever ever ever see Bareback Mounting. If some one tricks me into watching it I will stab them in the neck with my car keys.

[zarquon]

I wonder if those cowboys will grab the bull by the horn.

[Jau_Peacecraft]

he'll be comin round the mountain when he.. comes...

wow....

:[

[tackdaddy]

i would'nt see this movie even if it was free and they gave me a large coke and popcorn to go with it.

[nzwizard]

All I can SAY is GAY.

Rather watch George Bush destroy the world.

[rainbowdemon]

Will you see Brokeback Mountain and if so how many times and how many copies of The DVD will you purchase?


I might watch it just out of curiousity. But buy the dvd,

:error :error

[freak117]

I loved this film and I will probably see it several times. When it comes out on DVD I'll pick it up.

It is amazing to read all the homophobic comments here. You know what they say about homophobes, the most rabid ones are usually closet cases. Ask yourself, why are you threatened by a pair of cowboys that fall in love?

The director is the same guy that did "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Hulk." This film deserves an Oscar.

Go ahead, flame me. I am comfortable with my sexuality, your comments suggest that you are not as secure. I wonder why.

[cheapprick]

All I can is GAY.

You're not the only one... Gay jokes are more accepted in society than jokes that alienate other groups. I'm not saying it's okay, but that is the way it is. It's stupid, and one of the things that if I think about it enough, I'd rather not live in this society (because of all the intolerance of people that are different than the 'norm'). So I don't think about it that much...... I'd probably be dead if I did.

Yeah, that's very true. Remember the 40-Year Old Virgin? LOL, this is brilliant...

David and Cal Playing a video Game

David: No, I'm not gay I'm just celibate.
Cal: I think? I mean, that sounds ga- I just want you to know this is like the first conversation of like three conversations that leads to you being gay. Like... there's this and then in a year it's like, "Oh you know, I kinda wanna, ya know, get back out there but I think I like guys" and then there's the big, "Oh I'm I'm a g-gay guy now".
David: You're gay for saying that.
Cal: I'm gay for saying that?
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How? How do you know I'm gay?
David: Because you macramed yourself a pair of jean shorts.
Cal: You know how I know *you're* gay? You just told me you're not sleeping with women any more.
David: You know how I know that you're gay?
Cal: How? Cuz you're gay? and you can tell who other gay people are.
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How?
David: You like Coldplay.

David: You know how I know that you're gay?
Cal: How?
David: You like the movie "Maid in Manhattan".
Cal: You know how I know *you're* gay?
David: How?
Cal: I saw you make a spinach dip in a loaf of sour dough bread once.
David: You know how I know that you're gay?
Cal: How?
David: You have a rainbow bumpersticker on your car that says "I love it when *balls* are in my face".
Cal: That's *gay*?
David loses second match

David: Aww.

[Jau_Peacecraft]

i might download it, pretty fucking brave of any actor to suposedly pull this movie off.

i dun see the vasy majority of gay jokes as offensive honestly, it's more or less for shits and giggles, and the fact that they have failry recently becoming more accpeted into mainstream culture, its sorta like initation, it'll probably tapper off easily within the next 3 to 5 years. Besides, who's to say they don't joke about us straight's, it's all fun and games. Will suck for the asexuals though, those guy's are in a tough spot.

[fleecy]

would have seen it if it had come here... guess i'll see it on dvd

[boogiedan]

being honest..
usually i really turn my nose up(or my backside) to smoochy western's

however for 2006 ive said..
boogie boy u gotta see it.

Just the once though
might really really like it
honk honk!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DwarfBaby]

No I won't see it.

It's kind of like when Roseanne Bar and Tom Arnold were married. Sure some people thought they were funny. But I don't think anyone wanted to see them do it.

[wingnut2600]

I really enjoyed this film. It was in the top two films of the year. Heath Ledger was brilliant as a person repressed by his fears and social mores. The movie spoke of basic human yearning for what they wanted and could not have. Not homosexuality in the least. He wanted love. Man, woman, etc. People are not always able to get what they want or need.

This film was a frank portrayal of basic human needs and the fact that society and self are able to deny these things.

I would suggest people to see the film. I was a little uncomfortable; thinking that it was going to be an overtly agenda-driven film. Instead, I was touched by the story and was able to see the conflict in others much more clearly.

BTW... there is also much more female nudity that male for the homosexuallly-repressed/fearful.

Typo.

I'm not a homophobe, but two men kissing just ain't my cup of tea, if its yours thats fine, I have no problem with it.

[SanDiegoKid]

... it's very clever how the TV promos artfully skip over the subject matter...

"Heath Ledger is blah blah blah blahbiddy blah brilliant in the year's blah blah blah blah Ang Lee's blah blah blah..."

Homosexual subject matter aside, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhal both suck.

... but what about Donnie Darko, you say?

Yeup. Sucked. Oh it brought the weird factor; I'll give it that. But that's all.

.. but Heath's performance in Monster's Ball was tour de force?

Yeah, he killed himself 20 minutes into the film. Thanks, Heath. You should try method acting so you don't turn up in "10 things I Hate about You 2: The revenge".


These assholes are Oscar fishing... personally I would prefer to see them play retards.

[Jau_Peacecraft]

he was good in the lords of dogtown movie... I didn't even know it was him until the credits rolled, really freaking random after he did those b.s. pseudo - lord of the rings meets van helsing underworld type schlock movies [a knight's tale, that movie where he was a priest hunting vampires or some b.s.].

[charlesmelissa]

Why pay to see garbage- you can go see it on the street. Go to your local bowline alley.

OR:
No warez please.

After all, ZP is about file sharing!!!

[Vampmon]

i'll go see this, looks interesting

[charlesmelissa]

Okay, sorry. I'm busted. It wasn't a hot link to the download though. But still, why pay to see a grade B movie when you can download it. Some movies I see lots of times Like the Star Wars and Star Trek series, Narnia, etc., but a gay cowboy movie- I was never into westerns to start with.

[SanDiegoKid]

teh warez!!1

[rainbowdemon]

Nice review, Wingnut!!



:icon_thum

[northwest stew]

Im gonna see it because it has cowboys in it.

[Mels_Smileys45]

teh warez!!1

Sometimes warez is so gay.

[gorphon]

I laugh in the direction of anyone who thinks me a homphobe because I've made jokes in this thread. I just find the name of this movie HIGHLY ironic.

[charlesmelissa]

No Gorphon, it's not "BareBack Mount-in'" it's "BrokeBack Mount-in"

[gorphon]

yeah, as in, "he broke that back, yo!"

like I said, highly ironic.

[sheetal]

thnx for reviews posted

[shawners]

I think i heard this movie was based on George Bush and Jed Bush... Ironic how George had two girls..

[MrGonzo]

From what I hear its very very GAY!!!!!!!

Willie Nelson Releases Gay Cowboy Song

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country music outlaw Willie Nelson sang "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" more than 25 years ago. He released a very different sort of cowboy anthem this Valentine's Day.

"Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" may be the first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. But it was written long before this year's Oscar-nominated "Brokeback Mountain" made gay cowboys a hot topic.

Available exclusively through iTunes, the song features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson's deadpan delivery of lines like, "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" and "Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out."

Read entire story here (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060215/ap_en_mu/people_nelson_gay_cowboys).

I wonder if Willie is going to do a music video for the song.

My father is probably rolling in his grave. he was a big cowboy fan, not a broke back cowboy fan,, He's probably thinking John Wayne is rolling over in his grave:bom:

Probably a gay cowboy jumped on John wayne and rolled him over for some cowboy lovin.

Saw it once. That was enough. I thought it was kind of boring.
