Uhm, sorry, but what is Brokeback Mountain? And, yes, I do live in a cave!

 

[wheatonFJR]

This is a movie about **** cowboys...

And if I have to endure one more "Girls Gone Wild" commercial, I'm gonna go outside, pick some flowers and give them to Eve, then see how my 'investment' pays off.

I was going to answer Mike's obviously homophobically-in-denial 'question' but Wheaton beat me to it, so since I had a reply window open...

I think they are Gay Sheepherders aren't they, NOT Cowboys.....

 

[Toecutter]

I think they're actually sausage farmers, specifically :lol:

 

[Bearly Flying]

Toecutter: That's a good one.

Your idea of the flowers for Eve is probably a good plan, Good Luck........

Yes but Rock Hudson and Errol Flynn are getting all horny!!

I saw BB Mtn last week and I just didn't think it was that good a film. I think it got a lot of good reviews because people in the movie biz are afraid to criticize it lest they be deemed homophobic. I thought it dragged in places. Too many superfluous scenes that didn't really need to be part of the film.

It reminded me of the film many years ago "The Last Temptation of Christ" with Willem Dafoe. It got a lot of press because religious groups kept harping on about the content. The bottom line though was that it wasn't a very good film. Far fewer people would have seen it if the groups that opposed it, had just ignored it. I for one only saw it because I wanted to know what all the ruckus was about. It was very much a tempest in a teapot.

As for other films I saw lately...one that let me down...The Chronicles of Narnia. Didn't warm up to the children in the film. I think there was just too much going on to develop the characters. In fact 30 minutes in I was hoping someone would 'off' the whiney kid. I don't think you are supposed to feel that way?!

I also saw Syriana. I thought it was very good primarily because they creators took a chance. In many ways it is just a David and Goliath story but I thought it was told well. I can't really go into more because it was kind of an unconventional film and I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

Last night I watched the DVD 'Shaun of the Dead'. It is a British comedy which is a bit of a take-off of Dawn of the Dead. I had seen it before but my wife hadn't. I think it is a great independent film. Quirky and well written. There are a few gory scenes but they are handled almost comically. It is well worth renting. Or doing as I do and borrowing from our local library.

K.D. Hint- Guided mode works better (far left above the emoticon box). Unless that's just your style.

I had never heard anyone suggest that Errol Flynn was a **** before.

I enjoyed Narnya. Seemed to me to be typicsl English kids for the period.

I also saw King Kong and was definately not imoressed. The big scene with the fighting dinosaurs was much too long and the entire film was pretty much just a re-hash of the original, except not as good.

Shaun of the Dead is great. Two thumbs up.

Last Friday night after poker the group that I play with sat aroud and watched Revenge of the Sith with Slightly Intoxicated Geek Commentary. Hillarious. I hated that movie.

If you're into movies (as I am), I've got an excellent one for you. It's called "Empire Falls". It's about the politics of a small upstate town in Maine. If you get it be prepared to hunker down for a while. It's a nine hour Mini-Series. Four Stars for sure.

Bananas!

Wonder how Jack Palance would have handled the cow munchers? Best show I've seen lately was on History Channel, all the "Band of Brothers" back to back so as to make for a nice progression from one to the next over the holidays. An outstanding program on an outstanding unit. Best viewing out there IMHO.

I haven't seen the movie, yet, but that sounds pretty true to the books. I've never managed to finish the series, mainly because the characters, particularly the whiney kid, are just to annoying.

Um Folks, while I've heard rumors that Flynn was actually gay, I've never seen confirmation of it.

OTOH, Montgomery Clift was very well known to be gay--today, he's probably be "out".

I guess I'm just not that interested in Brokeback Mountain--no desire to see it at all. I'm not against films about gays, or anti-gay--I'm just not interested in this movie.
