you're a Hall of Famer and you don't know how to do this - oh digi

Come to think of it, I was honestly more emotionally connected to the friggin' Birdcage than this movie.

Worked. Thanks guys. I thought there was an option that put that around it already. Or at least something in the FAQ ;)

Oh Shush, you! :) over at HTF, they have an option to do this when posting! That's the only thing they can get right over there.

even the 'Make it Gay' song/production number from The Producers caused varied reactions from me (hahaha, oh wait.. I am supposed to laugh at this.)

That was a funny scene (both in the movie and on broadway).

I saw Nathan Lane on the Today Show a couple weeks ago. He was hilarious when talking about Brokeback....

"It's really when [Ledger] said, 'This thing gets hold of us the wrong time, the wrong place, we're dead,' " Lane recalled as Katie Couric and "Today" crew members giggled. "I thought, 'What do you mean, like the A&P? You're in the middle of nowhere! Get a ranch with the guy! Stop torturing these two poor women and get a room! What's the problem?' "

Although I think Nathan is a HUGE ass (and am a bit startled at seeing him at a gay bar when I was in college), he's mostly right. He just kinda missed the part about this being 40 years ago.

startling ?-- him, at a gay bar (was he trolling) ?? ... he's as gay as a picnic basket. ;)

Yeah, I understand that. But, I also wonder if Brokeback is simply about what risk is someone willing to take to live the life they want?

Surely, it was more difficult 40 years ago...but again, would it have been worth the sacrifice?

Obviously in the movie, Jack and those 2 old ranchers thought that it was worth it.

I came away from the film with that notion.

Yeah, maybe that was the major frustration for me.

Not that I am some pinnacle of taking risks in life, but I would have respected the movie/characters more had it been about the two of them CHOOSING to be together and the risks/trials they go through due to that choice.

Actually, maybe a movie about the two ranchers who chose to be together would have been more entertaining/stimulating.

In my opinion, movies that further movements (civil rights and so on) usually have this as their backbone. Basically, about someone standing up for who they are and living their life the way THEY want to.

Maybe im just rambling and echoing some of digi's opinions.

And did you miss the part about this being Nathan *frickin'* Lane - cracking wise about the film to amuse the housewives watching the Today Show while gettin' situated for "their stories?"

:rolleyes:

Just to note, Brokeback Mountain was the #1 movie for Tuesday, Jan 17th.

1. Brokeback Mountain $0.740m
2. Glory Road $0.675m
3. Hostel $0.670m
4. Last Holiday $0.620m
5. Chronicles of Narnia $0.530m
6. Hoodwi...

So inspite of everything, it did achieve #1 box office success, even if only for a day :D (And comparatively speaking, it got #1 by a lot.)

COMPLETELY. My god. Finally someone gets it.

Of course he is. But he passed RIGHT in front of me. I was leaning on a pool table at Barracuda here in NYC and he had a big bodyguard type guy behind him. And there he was right in front of my face. Just freaky. Seeing a "star" cruising in a gay bar. Rumor has it he loooooooooooooooooves little NYU boys.

sooooo, have you seen Kevin Spacey out and about... the rumour is that he's way deep in the closet.

I don't think there's much doubt about Spacey, especially after he "tripped over his dog" in the park.

Rumor has been around for years. Bryan Singer is gay too. Maybe they hangout with Ian McCullum?

I know it doesnt necessarily matter, but I thought Spacey was married?

I *heart* bryan singer.

No he's mine. Here he has a Big Attitude to go with those looks though.

What looks? He's ok looking but i just love the fact that he loves Star Wars and Superman and stuff as much as I do. Attractive gay guys don't usually go for that shit :)

Except for me.

I hope not. It's a disgrace.

As long as we're dishing on stars: I met and talked with Leonardo DiCaprio and his boyfriend in Mexico about 10 years ago. He seemed very unconcerned and public (in another country) about it. I would have thought he would be well out of the closet by now.

Did he introduce the guy as his boyfriend??

Yeah, it was me....i dated Leo for a while...until he got chubby ;)

Wait...i'm sorry...him or you?





;)

No, he absolutely was talking directly out of his ass. The last recording lynching in West Virginia that I can find a reference to was in 1931.

So, West Virginia doesn't still have lynchings, regular or otherwise.

Maybe you should do some research.

it's a diversion ;)

Ha. You said recorded. There's the rub.

Oh, you know, you're right. It's entirely reasonable to assume that there have been dozens of lynchings in West Virginia since then. It's just that no one (local police, local press, national press, the FBI, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the ACLU, various and sundry historians) cared enough to report them!

*pop*

here's the stick that got stuck up your ass. I figured you'd want it back.

Yeah. Just like every "hate crime" against gay people is reported as such. :rolleyes:

:lol:

I like to argue from some sort of factual knowledge. You like to argue from ad hominum attacks and casual non sequiturs. So I'll just have to assume that you know you've been bested, and leave it at that.

Making a blanket statement about a state and its citizens due to a theater not showing a film is unfair.

Perhaps he needs to take a look at his homeland before pointing fingers.

I do agree not showing the film is ignorant. Ledger's statement could have been better thought out.

Well, maybe they just saw the film and that it sucked. ;)

Now now...even *I* can't say it sucked. In fact, there was no oral play whatsoever that we saw.
;)
That would've been too gay for the "big gay hollywood movie."

Speaking of sex...

Did he actually do that?
