I cannot understand why a lot of gays think they have to do everything but rent billboards and TV airtime to pronounce to the world that they are gay, then expect to be treated with any kind of respect or anything resembling  a normal society.  The male flamers priss into some place  looking like a cheap Tammy Faye Baker impression can`t really expect people not to laugh and treat them different than they do everyone else. Hell, it`s a sad comedy act. If you are a male and your sexual prefernce is to do the back seat boogy with another male then it would seem to me you would do it discreetly and save yourself a lot of hassle. A lot of gay guys are not flamers and most people they come in contact with have no idea they are gay. To a lot of the male of the species, myself included, a gay male is viewed as ....well.......just pure sickening and a disgrace to the human race. To me it is viewed on the same level as a child molestor who would make a great effort to publicise that he is such, then asked to be treated with respect. Ain`t gonna happen Homer.  It is unnantural and will be viewed as such by most unless you buy into the "I gotta be PC about this and kiss some serious butt to get  with the crowd I wish to" .
Just curious.......but at what age did your brother decide he was gay and what do think "made" him gay?

Who will go?   Probly a lot of gays first off but not all.   some fans of the stars or the director or people who still haven't figured out what the movie is about...Some guys who's wife/girlfriend thinks it is a good movie for their boyfriends/husbands to see?

What straight guy will really go to this movie?  and... why?

I think it is much more interesting to study those who refuse to see it. Not those those who just aren't interested, but the angry homophobic idiots who are up in arms about the degredation of society yet have no problem with keeping a poster of some Nazi ace on their wall or seeing a movie about rape and torture..

You know... the ones who think they are real men.

So in order to prove one is a real man, one must see this movie?  That's a new twist on marketing.

MT... Ok... fair enough.   Now explain to me why I would want to see the movie.   I can't think of a reason.    

I don't have to suffer through a "history of rap" movie to prove I'm not a biggot.   I don't have to watch gay porn to prove I'm not homophobic.  

Humans empathize.. it is what we do.   We see men kissing or anal sexing each other and us humans tend to put ourselves into the situation in our imagination.... Not a place I want to be.   To be uncomfortable is a normal heterosexual reaction..  Homophobic isn't really a word.  It is meaningless.   to not want to view same sex relationships (unless they are the opposssite gender of the viewer) is completely normal..

To wish to view homsexual acts as a heterosexual is suspect.

Soo... what's in it for me?   Sheep?  1960's glimpse into wyoming (or canada)... music?   the acting?   sorry... not enough.   I naked women?  action?

I am perhaps a shallow moviegoer but...  I go to be entertained.   I go to escape for a few hours...  Brokebutt mountain is not a place I want to escape to.

I think you will go to the movie tho just to prove a point...  A point that the directors and producers and advertisers of the movie have made you think is important.

sucker..

Actually I've not seen it nor do I intend to. Not my cup of tea either. Unless they spend 75 million on special effects I'll save time and wait for it to come to cable.

see?   there is nothing there for you.  Who will see it?    HBO will probly make a huge deal out of it and show it every other night for a couple of years... If I do happen to see it on the tube (without paying for it) I will most likely watch it till I am disgusted or bored to tears by it...

I don't think that would take too long based on what I have read or heard about it so far.  Certainly, I would not waste my money on it at this point.

Soooo... Who will?  What were they thinking when they made it?   Do they think that it is a subject that will appeal to a broad audience?  

Are they not capitalists?  don't they want to spend the least amount of money to get the highest return?

Who will go to see it?  Are they counting on huge cable tv revinues from it?

Homophobe!

I am not going to see it for the simple reason that I hate horses.  Friggen horses should all be shot,

sob.... 7th against what?  all the others were low budget art house movies that they showed "opened against" except "nardia" which grosed a little over ten times as much as brokenbutt and the geisha movie that is considered a disaster for sony and still grossed allmost twice as much as brokenbut.... which is falling off the charts radically even as we speak..

OK, well in comparison, it's currently at the same level as Serenity...
