They didnt QUITE rape the cowboy image.  They WERE herding SHEEP after all.  I mean, what else can you expect from sheepherders?

I feel as sorry for gays as I do blacks, arabs, mexicans, asians, and even whites. I cannot understand why people wont mind their own business instead of making gays so differently viewed.



P.S. I love my brother just as much as before I knew he was gay, he is my brother and nothing will make see him  as anything less than my brother.


PS hollywood lesbians are Fin hot.


No one I know views gays in a special, different view from anyone else. The whole gay movement toward marriage is nothing more than conquest of yet another sanctity of religion.  I don't care if anyone's gay. That's probably the problem, they WANT the freaking attention. Why else would they march in downtowns every year in their freak costumes?  Some of the most brilliant men I've met in my life were gay, but they were normal, everyday people that didn't crave attention.

If it was about two gay Wyoming cowboys why was it filmed in Canada?  The scenery in Wyoming is pretty spectactular...wouldn't it do for the film?  Was there a backlash against the book and movie in Wyoming itself?

It's cheaper to film in Canada is the main reason.

It's just a stupid movie.  I can't help but laugh at all the deep analyzation of the underlying motives of the moviemakers.  oooooh!  Get over it.  Watch it or better yet, join me in not watching it.  It looks stupid, boring and gay (kind of like Gordo).

I haven't seen it but read some good reviews about it.  What is amusing is the way some people get so worked up about gay issues like it's infectious or something. It's just a movie, get over it.

It's not something I'd normally go to anyway. I am looking forward to seeing 'jarhead'. All those rugged Marines with their weapons out!!:p :lol

There is another so called  'gay movie' coming out soon called 'Breakfast on Pluto'. I'll be going to see that mainly because I'm in it. I worked on it as an extra. It's set in the seventies and they gave me a pair of purple bellbottom trousers and a pair of boots with ridiculous heels to wear. :cry Gawd those boots were painful!

I hope you are all not going to turn against me because of that:noid

There are a lot of gays in the military as well. I wonder what their agenda is.

If I were a Hollywood movie mogul and someone came to me for financial backing to make Brokeback Mountain, I would have turned him down for the simple reason of profit.

It seems like this movie may be big enough box office to make a decent profit, but that would not have been my guess.

I would have guessed about 90% of males will not see this movie, especially in the teen demographic.  Movies like Star Wars and LOTR depend on repeat geek attendance from the teen demographic and this would be almost nil. 4% would be dragged off to the movie (reluctantly) by their women.  The others are gay and would see the movie.  

Half or better of the women would not see the movie, especially away from the major metros, because their guys could not be dragged kicking and screaming.

I would think limiting your demographic so severely would make it a pretty minor movie box office wise.

Studio money would be better invested showing the latest car chase and booby epic.

I haven't seen the movie, but I'll go out on a limb and assume that the budget was a small fraction of what was spent on the latest Star Wars.

Lower profit, but also lower risk.
