You have to wonder about an industry that is so sleazy that not one movie has ever made a profit, by their accounting standards.


Ever made a NET profit.

It took the peons a while to demand a % of the gross.

your right it is a bad example.

As of last week Bush's approval rating was a mere two points lower then Clintons 37% at his lowest point

Hardly what anyone can claim "Never have anything near"

Capote wasn't even in the top 50.

oh wow.  great point.  clapclapclapclapclap.    Really deep argument...almost wet the soles of my shoes.

A decision to eat a Big Mac is usually determined by:  A) the amount of money in one's pocket, or   B) the number of children in the car.

If I'm alone, I'll stop at Red Lobster and eat king crab legs.  If I have only $4.56 cents, I'll order a combo meal.

Since all movie tickets cost the same, the average citizen's choice of which movie to see is determined by his or her perception of the merits of each film.  Evidently, more people saw purchasing a ticket to see The Dukes of Hazard as a better use of their money than buying one to see Brokeback Mountain.


Understand the dynamics involved?

I'm with the skuzzy on this one.  I go to movies to be entertained not for anything else.. surely not to cry or to watch a gay love affair.

I eat to not be hungry for the most part.

You don't find gay love affairs entertaining? What's wrong with you?

if I am at the theater and I have a choice between Milla Jovovich shooting and stabbing stuff, and 2 cowboys humping, naturally my choice goes to Milla everytime.

yep... seems simple enough to me.   shooting and fighting and gratuitous nudity of women.... good.

boys humping each other.... bad.

I think I can say with a fair degree of certainty that Brokeback Mountain wasn't any worse than UltraViolet.  That's just not possible.

It's rather amazeing how much you guys care about one movie due to it's subject.....  You seem obessed with it more than gay guys I know.....

No appreciation for cenimatography, or critique on acting... all you can do is walk the party line.... are you defending the 'sanctity of marriage' as something to do with gender as oppsed to the adultrous lives many live?   ya ... that makes sense.

Hey look the goodyear blimp!  ((steals more tax $))

And don't forget your fear for the day.

Hey, aren't the Brokeback cowboys have an adulterous affair? They get hitched up with womenfolk and still sneak off with each other, right?

What would that be? Gotta be adultery on one side or the other right?

If there's any obsessing, it's coming out of Hollywood.

About "the love that dare not speak its name" which has become "the love that won't shut up."

ya and it wasn't about hate at all from the clips I've seen.

Did you hear about the hate crime in Boston awhile back?

Next you'll be angry that hollywood likes films on Racism.

When is the last time you heard about random race shootings in U.S.?  It's been awhile... though not that long.

Your allowed to not like a movie

The obbession over it is rather odd.  They talked of pleanty of other movies.

And not one comment on one of the best cenimatographer-directors of our day.  IMO anyway... but not one comment even.  Or is there one I missed?

----------------
maybe it's just me but movies of his I've seen are beautiful works of scenery and colors. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000487/

Well, let's see...

Director Credits
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
The Hulk (2003)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Ride With the Devil (1999)
The Ice Storm (1997)
Pushing Hands (1995)
Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Eat Drink Man Woman (1994)
The Wedding Banquet (1993)

I viewed about half of those; sadly, I remain unconvinced that he is one of the best directors of our day. I'm sure there are those that idolize him, I'm just not one of them.

I'm permitted to have an opinion on that too, aren't I?  Or am I just allowed not to like a movie?

As has been pointed out, I believe the center of obsession with it is in Hollywood.

I tried to point out cenimatographer-directors for that reason .. he's not a great director in the end, he has a great sense for scenrey, for visualy appealing pictures and colors, which is something diffrent from flat directing.  

I've not seen many of his movies, but the ones I have were visualy pleaseing.

I see more obbession here, with no dissussion, than I see in hollywood (at least they disscuss multiple movies intelligently.
You guys have ONE point of subject it seems to me.
