Brokeback Mountain

Quote from takenoprisoners:



What surprised me was the audience was entirely composed of couples and no one walked out.

Yes, liberal couples who had prove their committment to diversity. Most of them probably have gay friends that would call them on it, so they had little choice but to see it. (Imagine the film came up at a dinner party and the liberals hadn't seen it!)

Goes without saying that walking out on it would be homophobic.

I'd never see it, but I was walking by the theater and I saw Longshot go in.

I don't watch propaganda films.

Hollywood is beyond pathetic. They only produce crap-commodities from recycled tired liberal pet social subjects. Hollywood has no talent. It’s a clueless club of old liberals patting each other on the back over “great works” about has-been social issues which bore most people to death.

Sooner or later, an independent will stump the Hollywood Club with a blockbuster made on a shoestring about traditional family values, or get this: a movie about two men having a deep relationship without being gay.

Fancy bit of ex post facto footwork.

Back in the day, of course, such movies were made to appeal to our common humanity. Now we've been reduced to "heteros".

Which is an excellent example of the dual nature of reality. Homo arises, therefore so does hetero. Conservativism arises, therefore so does liberalism. The ones cannnot exist without the others.

That is not true, as heterosexuals most certainly can exist, in physical reality, without homosexuals, but it misses my point: "heteros" are now just another political category.

Might seem obvious and redunant to you, but I find it repugnant.

In my world, there are "people" and "homosexuals", and homosexuals are and must forever remain the consummate outsiders. Yes, I am discriminating. Shoot me.

And yet they are still complaining about it.

LOS ANGELES—The Oscars opened the closet door to gay-themed films but shut it almost as quickly. “Brokeback Mountain,” the much-ballyhooed favorite about two gay cowboys, won best director for Ang Lee on Sunday but stunningly lost the best picture prize to race drama “Crash.” Additionally Philip Seymour Hoffman won best actor for playing gay novelist Truman Capote in “Capote.” The victory for “Crash” suggested Oscar voters were more comfortable

A gay movie gets Best Director, another gay movie gets Best Actor for the gay lead role, but apparently this is "shutting the door" on gay themed films.

Amazing.

Makes ya wonder if the whole wild west was nothing more than a bunch of gay guys riding horses all day. I wasn't surprised by this : US army charges troops in gay porn scandal. It seems like the so called "tough guys" are nothing more than of "happy campers."

And the so called Republican/Christians claiming to anti-gay, rofl. One example : Anti-Gay Republican Outed as Gay, Resigns

U.S. Rep. Edward L. Schrock of Virginia is a staunch Republican who has received a score of 92% from the Christian Coalition and who has been a strong backer of the effort to ban gay marriages in the Constitution. He is also a gay who has been outed because of his efforts to pick up men via a gay phone dating service.
