The Brokeback Mountain poll!

[Victor Lazlo]

Have you seen it? Do you plan to go see it?

[pabloescobar209]

i would see it... but it just has no appeal to me...

[STDzRus]

No appeal and I refuse to vote

[Victor Lazlo]

i would see it... but it just has no appeal to me...

Yeah it didnâ??t for me either. Thatâ??s why it was the last of the 5 movies up for best picture I saw. And even with all the hype etc, I was just amazed!! The fact that you have no interest in it will just make you like it that much more.

tell me why i should see it, and i will... gives speciftic reasons(dont give the movie away)

[Victor Lazlo]

tell me why i should see it, and i will... gives speciftic reasons(dont give the movie away)

Because itâ??s just such an incredibly directed, acted, filmed love story! Thatâ??s what is so amazing about it. People think itâ??s going to turn them gay or something. But thatâ??s not the point at all. Itâ??s so fucking sad. It made me think about past relationships with girls I had.. With girls I wish I had had a relationship with. The gay part is not the point. Itâ??s just so well done... The acting so superb.

If you like REALLY REALLY good movies there is no reason not to see it!

[Victor Lazlo]

No appeal and I refuse to vote

Yeah but that makes no sense because everyone falls into either the "I donâ??t want to see it because itâ??s about gay cowboys" category or the "I only like action/mainstream movies" category. I donâ??t think there is anyone that could say they like intellectual movies but does not want to see Brokeback..

Saying it has "no Appeal" is the same as voting for the "I donâ??t want to see it because itâ??s about gay cowboys" option!

So why would you refuse to vote?!?

If you are bothered by the fact thatâ??s itâ??s about gay cowboys why donâ??t you just admit it?? What is so hard about that?

If you think you are into intellectual movies but donâ??t want to see Brokeback then I would say you have some problems. And I would say if you did see Brokeback you would be pleasantly surprised by just how great of movie it is! Your homophobic fears were much to do about nothing!

[STDzRus]

It has no appeal, none of your options appeal to me.

I don't want to see it not because it has gay cowboys in it, but because the genre and style just doesn't appeal to me. Not my type of movie.

My type of movie...

Indie / Thug / Documentary / Sudodrama / Drama / Mystery / Thriller / Cult / Action of course..

The movie just doesn't appeal to me.

And it has nothing to do with homophobia, I am far from homophobic.

I have nothing against gay people being as I'm bi...in an ungay manner.

So the 4th option is for you even if you wont admit it:thumbsup:

EVERYONE is #3 or #4!

[STDzRus]

Um..no neither one of those options apply to me.

Maybe if there was an option that just said "I have no desire to see it"

Instead of subliminally bashing people by giving choices ONLY
*for* your decision to see it.

You must be Republican.

You must be Republican.

So why do you have no desire to see it? Do you also not want to see "Munich", "Capote", "Crash", "Good Night and Goodluck"?? Because if the answer is yes you dont want to see them then you should vote #4. If you do want to see ANY of them then your answer is #3, you dont wantto see gay cowboys.

LOL!!! Me a Republican!?!?! LOL!! I voted for Gore twice and Kerry once!!!:thumbsup:

Exception is "Crash". Its so mainstream that it would fall under #4.

[STDzRus]

I have desires to see those movies. THIS particular movie does not appeal to me not because it has gay cowboys in it, but because I have read reviews, I have read the summary of the movie, and THE CONTENT doesn't appeal to me.

Everybody can't have the same tastes, and trying to push it on people is just crap.

What about Comglomerate Troy...Jun Dix Fun...Do you want to see those movies?

Or wait wait...Do you want to see MArch of Penguins?

I guess maybe not you know, because it has penguins in it, and not simple because you don't want to watch it. (Not saying you don't want to just giving a nonsense excuse as you are doing)

Plot Summary for
Brokeback Mountain (2005)

A raw, powerful story of two young men, a Wyoming ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 sheepherding in the harsh, high grasslands of contemporary Wyoming and form an unorthodox yet life-long bond--by turns ecstatic, bitter and conflicted.

Summary written by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana

The new film from Academy Award-nominated director Ang Lee. An epic love story set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, Brokeback Mountain tells the story of two young men - a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love....

Sounds like a chick flick I MIGHT watch with my g/f, but not on my own...no thanks.

LOL dude just quite while you are behind! You donâ??t want to see it because its about gay cowboys and that it!! You are just too... I donâ??t really know... pound to admit it!?!

The fact is this is the best picture of the year. It has by far the best direction and acting and if you really cared about good movies you would want to see it regardless of its topic. And if you dont care about thihgs like great acting and directing then you would have just voted for #4

You are turned off by the fact that it is about gay cowboys which is fine but the fact that you wont just admit it is really funny!:D

Um..thanks for telling me why I don't want to see it jackass. I don't give a fuck that gay cowboys are in it and the fact that you just can't let that go makes me believe you may have some underlying issues with homosexual(s)...just drop it, because I'm not the one behind...it's you.

I don't want to see it because it's NOT MY TYPE OF FILM.

I don't go around wanting to watch Romance / Love movies because they aren't MY THINGS. I could give two shites and two fucks if it was a girl and a guy or two guys, or two girls, I wouldn't have an appeal to it. Just like I don't have an appeal to most movies that are released.:thumbsup: :rolleyes:

[Victor Lazlo]

If Ang Lee and other great actors made a movie about subjects I have no interest inâ?¦ About basket wavers, about interior decorators, about dirt farmers!! I would still want to fucking see them badly!!! Because I love good movies!! And I know great directors and great actors can make a great movie about ANY subject. The fact that you donâ??t agree with what I just said means you are #4!!!

[STDzRus]

BTW it's all opinion, so just because I don't agree with your opinion don't get mad and upset BASERSX. Just agree to disagree and move on, stop trying to convince somebody of something they are not going to be convinced of. And stop throwing accusations.

No, if they made a movie on a topic that interested me I would want to watch it.

BTW Brokeback Mountain is A MAINSTREAM movie if you haven't really noticed.

So stop trying to force ideas upon people, you watch movies simply because an actor or director is participating in it. I watch movies because the subject matter appeals me, two totally different views. So just, take your opinion, and do like you do with your asshole..Wipe it clean and leave it to yourself.

I wont, but I will forever call you #4 which is my only point. You are a #4 but some how does not like that classification. Even though that is what you are!!

And if you do actually like any intellectual films then that immediately makes you a #3!

I designed this poll with no grey areas! Everyone falls into one of the 4 options. There are no exceptions!

[STDzRus]

I wont, but I will forever call you #4 which is my only point. You are a #4 but some how does not like that classification. Even though that is what you are!!
No, I am not #4 but you can classify me as whatever you wish, this poll really means nothing. The only reason I'm engaging in this half ass debate is because nobody is online and I'm bored.

Have an option that says "Not my taste" and I would've voted, because that's exactly what it is, not my taste, nothing more, nothing less.

SEACREST OUT!

Not your taste makes you a #3... Why cant you just admit it?

[Victor Lazlo]

Lets put it this way... Can you think of any other possible film about gay cowboys that you would want to see?!?!

Really, look at this logically. Unless there is a possible other film, done differently about gay cowboys that you would want to see then how can you not vote for #3?

You say the movie does not interest you, that fine!!! Then why the hell didnt you just vote for #3?

[STDzRus]

I would like to see Midnight Cowboy...it's about gay cowboys. :rolleyes:

[Victor Lazlo]

I would like to see Midnight Cowboy...it's about gay cowboys.

Midnight Cowboy is fucking GREAT!!! Dustin Hoffman is so great in that!!! You have not seen that movie?? So why would you want to see it and NOT Brokeback Mountain?? I have seen both and both are just absolutely fantastic! I could not pick one over the other!

Are you seriously fucking mentally handicapped. I've explained this A MILLION TIMES (exaggerating) already! I didn't vote NUMBER 3 or NUMBER 4 because those are not the reasons why I don't want to see the movie.

BECAUSE THOSE ARE NOT THE REASONS I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE.

BECAUSE THOSE ARE NOT THE REASONS I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE.

BECAUSE THOSE ARE NOT THE REASONS I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE.

BECAUSE THOSE ARE NOT THE REASONS I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE.

I figure maybe bigger letters will let you see clearly that your reasoning for people not wanting to see this movie, is not everybody's reasoning. You have to defend yourself because you think it's the greatest movie, and anything saying otherwise would be a hit on your opinion, thus your ego. So simply not wanting to see the movie would just hurt you. It has nothing to do with option number 3 or 4.

[STDzRus]

Midnight Cowboy is fucking GREAT!!! Dustin Hoffman is so great in that!!! You have not seen that movie?? So why would you want to see it and NOT Brokeback Mountain?? I have seen both and both are just absolutely fantastic! I could not pick one over the other!
Because, it seems you WANT to watch the movie simply because there are gay cowboys in it. The content of Midnight Cowboy seems more interesting then some boring ass love sob story.

In case you havenâ??t figured it out yet Iâ??m a serious movie buff. My new name, Victor Lazlo, is from my favorite movie of all time, Casablanca! Like you seemed to have missed I would want to watch a movie about dirt farmers if it was directed by a great director and acted by great actors like Brkoback, (Midnight cowboy) and all the other movies up for best picture this year!! Well except "goodnight and Good Luck..

[STDzRus]

I just pooed my pants.

ownage

[Victor Lazlo]

And I did watch Goodnight and Good Luck!! Very closely! I just donâ??t think it deserved to be nominated over Syriana!

[Victor Lazlo]

I just pooed my pants.

ownage

Yeah, just go vote for #3 and own up. You cant get past the suspect matter and see what an incredible film it is like a lot of people. No shame in that but just admit it and donâ??t come off saying you "refuse to vote"....

[imagoober]

Saying it has "no Appeal" is the same as voting for the "I donâ??t want to see it because itâ??s about gay cowboys" option!
maybe some pople just dont like love storys or want to see them, hey maybe they dont like cowboy movie! or just plan arnt interested, or it just doent apeal to them, i myself want to see it but havent got a around to it, i heard it was real good, but why must you catagorise.

what are you a gay hater, hater!

Thats fine but how could you say you dont like love stories and still try to clame you dont fall into #4??? You can not be into intelectual movies and be a true movie buff and not be into love stories. Just like you cant be into great movies and not want to see Brokback because EVERYTHING about this movie is GREAT!

Thatâ??s the whole point, this is really one of the best movies made in years, Ang Lee is just a genius!! Heath Ledger is so incredible its just hard to believe! Regardless of the subject!

So again, you either have seen this movie, want to see it, donâ??t want to because its about gay cowboys, or just donâ??t have an appreciation for GREAT movies!!

I will repeat myself, this poll leaves NO grey areas! EVERYONE falls into one of the 4 options. Its not possible to fall into a 5th option! Why is that so hard to understand or admit?!?!

[Alcoholic9]

Seen it, it was alright I guess. Does it deserve to win awards? I guess considering the other crap it's up against.

Here's the real question......

Will I feel compelled to watch it again if I see it on cable in 6 months? Nope

It's really not that great, once you've watched it.... meh

[Victor Lazlo]

Let me just clear this up. Iâ??m not into love stories as a rule, not at all. But to say you donâ??t like any love stories or to clam all love stories are chick flicks would immediate put you into #4!!

Some of the best movies in the world, are love stories! I would not try to claim any subject matter would make or break a movie! Like I said a good director, writer, and actors could make a great movie about dirt farmers!! The subject should not be an issue!! And if the subject is an issue for you that means you are a #4!!!

If you like a lot of great movies like Casablanca, Taxi Driver, Godfather I and II, Citizen Cane, Blade Runner etc. etc. etc. but donâ??t want to see Brokeback then that means you are a #3!!

There are no grey areas in this poll!

Other crap?!?! You Thought Capote and Munich were crap?!?!? WTF?!? Are you kidding???

And yes I absolutely will want to see Brokeback again in 6 months!! Along with Copete and Munich!! More than twice!!!

Your a #4.

[imagoober]

love is an emotion, has nothing to do with intellect, and yes you can still be a movie buff!

Just like you cant be into great movies and not want to see Brokback because EVERYTHING about this movie is GREAT!
yes you can be into great movies and not have seen it, how are you going to know if a movie is great based on a preview! and others opinions are just that! so if the preview doesnt appeal to you, and you dont go see it, theres chance that you might miss a really good movie!

I will repeat myself, this poll leaves NO grey areas! EVERYONE falls into one of the 4 options. Its not possible to fall into a 5th option! Why is that so hard to understand or admit?!?!
your ignorant. just cause you fall into the catogory doesnt mean that everyone else does, obviously STDzRus doesnt, and he would be the one to know not you!

[Alcoholic9]

Other crap?!?! You Thought Capote and Munich were crap?!?!? WTF?!? Are you kidding???

So did you actually see Capote and Munich or are you just talking out your ass?

There are SEVERAL grey areas. And only an idiot wouldn't see them. *wink*

[Alcoholic9]

So did you actually see Capote and Munich or are you just talking out your ass?

I have em, I'll get around to em before the oscars so I guess you got me there. I've seen Syriana (I'd call that intellectual if any of em are) and Crash so far. Are those the 5 up for best picture?

there are many different kinds of movies than just " I only like action and other main stream movies not intellectual movies"


If you like a lot of great movies like Casablanca, Taxi Driver, Godfather I and II, Citizen Cane, Blade Runner etc. etc. etc. but donâ??t want to see Brokeback then that means you are a #3!!

There are no grey areas in this poll!
if you have nothing againts gays or it plays not part in you decision to watch the movie and you cant find an option on your list, like some people have then there is a grey area. u=narrow minded, people like you make forum no fun you have to argue with people instead of just voicing you opion, and embracing theirs! just my opinion!

[Victor Lazlo]

There are SEVERAL grey areas. And only an idiot wouldn't see them. *wink*
BS #3

I stand behind this all the way. Everyone falls into one of the 4 and only people with issues would try to clam that the subject matter of brokeback was not what made them not want to see it but yet try to claim they are into other movies of its caliber!!

If you only like matrix, LOTR, Star Wars, type movies thatâ??s fine, youâ??re a #4. But if you like movies like Capote, Munich, Syriana, Million Dollar Baby, etc. etc. but still try to say a movie like Brokeback does not interest you, you are a #3!!

This is very interesting though, its reveled a whole new class of people â??

Homophobe-aphobes!! LOL People that are afraid of things about gay people but are also afraid to admit they are afraid of things about gay people!!!

I guess you are right!!

#5 is I donâ??t want to see Brokeback because I donâ??t want to see a movie about gay guys but I also donâ??t want to admit that that is the reason I donâ??t want to see it!!

Youâ??re a #5!!!

[Alcoholic9]

No wait, that Good night and Good luck flick is up too. Well I haven;t seen that one either so you can bitch at me about that too. ;)

BTW WTF is Capote about? I know what the others are but nothing bout Capote. I suppose I could look it up but I'm lazy. :stoned:

[STDzRus]

:rolleyes:

You can't even carry yourself like a man.

[Victor Lazlo]

I have em, I'll get around to em before the oscars so I guess you got me there. I've seen Syriana (I'd call that intellectual if any of em are) and Crash so far. Are those the 5 up for best picture?

No "good night and goodluck" was nominated instead of Syriana which I do not agree with!! I have seen both.

And how the hell could you call Syriana intellectual and Brokeback not!??! Just because Syriana is complicated and hard for some to follow?!?! LOL Come on!! Brokeback is every bit as "intellectual" as Syriana!!

[imagoober]

But if you like movies like Capote, Munich, Syriana, Million Dollar Baby, etc. etc. but still try to say a movie like Brokeback does not interest you, you are a #3!!
simple you dont like cowboy movies! or maybe you dont like the director, the actor whatever, that doent instantly throw you into number 3, or any other one for that matter!

[Alcoholic9]

No "good night and goodluck" was nominated instead of Syriana which I do not agree with!! I have seen both.

Dude 90% of Brokeback is them staring off into space thinking about fucking eachother. Then there's 5% where they do fuck and another 5% where they utter some redneck drawl toward one another. Seriously, it's not that good.

That said it'll sweep the Oscars I'm sure.

[Victor Lazlo]

BTW WTF is Capote about? I know what the others are but nothing bout Capote. I suppose I could look it up but I'm lazy. :stoned:

Capote is specifically about how Truman Capote wrote his book "In Cold Blood". Not about Truman Capote as much as it is about the specific writing of "In Cold Blood". VERY, VERY good. But it is the slowest moving of all the movies up for best picture. If you donâ??t have patience for a good movie, donâ??t go see this one!

But Philip Seymour Hoffman is just amazing in it!!!

[imagoober]

#5 is I donâ??t want to see Brokeback because I donâ??t want to see a movie about gay guys but I also donâ??t want to admit that that is the reason I donâ??t want to see it!!

Youâ??re a #5!!!
your just an ass thats looking for some to hate and fuck with. go join GLAD if you already havent!

Then this movie was totally lost on you. You missed the the very substantial plot about their wives and families? You missed the part of them being gay during that time in history!?!?

Yes the plot is very simple. Its a very simple love story. That is why its so great! But I have watched Syriana 3 times now!! It complicated as hell as I guess you know. I would take both of us a long time try write out the plot of that movie, and donâ??t get me wrong I loved it!!

But that does not make it a single bit more intellectual than Brokeback!!

Their wives were hardly a part of the story. They were almost background really. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, I think everyone should check it out at some point. I just don't think they should run out and see it right away.

To each their own I guess.

I'm not a big fan of Syriana either. I'll check out the rest of the flicks before Oscar night. You should start another thread at the end of the month and I'll give you my opinion then.

[Euphoric]

The fact that you have no interest in it will just make you like it that much more.

lol

[Shelbay]

If Ang Lee and other great actors made a movie about subjects I have no interest inâ?¦ About basket wavers, about interior decorators, about dirt farmers!! I would still want to fucking see them badly!!! Because I love good movies!! And I know great directors and great actors can make a great movie about ANY subject. The fact that you donâ??t agree with what I just said means you are #4!!!
Nothing unique about this movie except for two gay cowboys..I will not see it.Hollywood needed a boost so here you go...something different does not make it unique..but anyways..I wouldn't waste my money on it. The Passion Of The Christ was a great movie..seen it?

[Shelbay]

Dude 90% of Brokeback is them staring off into space thinking about fucking eachother. Then there's 5% where they do fuck and another 5% where they utter some redneck drawl toward one another. Seriously, it's not that good.

PC time...you know it.

[Shelbay]

BASERSX got OWNED

A.K.A.


Victor Lazlo
I thought so.

[Fishmon]

The narrow minds of those who won't see the movie b/c of its theme amazes me. If you went, you would see it has a larger message which is life passes by so you better get in touch with who you are and live in a way that allows you to be true to yourself.

If people took the time to venture out of their mental boxes, they just might learn something and more importantly, learn something about themselves.

As for the movie, it was great and the acting was second to none. It deserves the props it is getting.

So open your minds and go see the movie. You just might like it. :)

Just because someone dosn't wish to go see a movie dosn't mean that their either too stupid to watch it or that for some reason they hold some prejudice against the theme of the movie.

I haven't seen an awful lot of films including this one and I'd like to think I'm interested in more genres than action films and its certainly not because I have some underlying hatred of homosexuals.

Why does one have to be narrow minded because we don't want to see two gay cowboys in love? Not my thing but hardly makes me narrow minded....to me trying to force someone to accept your way of life when you put down theirs is narrow minded.

Brokeback was the silliest movie I have ever been made to watch (by the wife). It has no buisness being up for any awards at all. A couple years ago an actor had to play a retard to win an academy award, now its some poor homo character they have to play to win. Hollywood has lost it. Thats why their movies are all earning like 10 times what they were 4 or 5 years ago. It's Great!!

I thought It was boring boring boring.

[Torog]

Have you seen it? Do you plan to go see it?

Howdy Victor,

I voted for not seeing the movie,because it was about gay cowboys.

In this part of Texas,all the cowboys are redneck Christians or just plain rednecks,who are more than willing,to beat the crap out of gay folks and probably,especially, gay cowboys. We don't take kindly to drugstore cowboys or gay folks who like to dress up as cowboys.

To me,this movie is more of an attack against folks of Faith who believe that homosexuality is a sin,and against Texas and the rest of fly-over country,that liberals love to hate and make fun of.

Have a good one ...

[daithi]

it's not really an attack at anyone, it's just a story, and not a very good one.

[lemonboy]

it's not really an attack at anyone, it's just a story, and not a very good one.I haven't seen it because it looked really slow to me but I'm sure I will when it gets to DVD. Calling it an attack on heterosexuality and Christianity is just silly. Yet another case of Christians being "persecuted" because the whole world doesn't unwaveringly accept their point of view.

Torog can't get his head around the idea of a gay cowboy because he's never met one... that he knows of. I'm pretty sure that's the whole point here, folks.

You are making my point. All you see is a gay cowboy movie. If you have not seen it, how can you reach your conclusions? I know, it's what you heard. See, that's narrow minded.

Howdy lemonboy,

I see the movie as Hollyweird's aiding and abbetting the 'normalization' of homosexuality,by basically saying "See--even cowboys can have homosexual feelings !" I'm simply rendering my personal opinion and analysis,I don't expect anyone to share or accept my views.

I did see gays,dressed up as cowboys,on the strip outside the base in Chicago,I almost messed up and actually talked to one of em,till I realised whom I was dealing with. My company was comprised of rednecks and traditional values folks and we got rid of them in short order,as well as the worst of the prostitutes. . before we did,they had been preying on drunk sailors and marines and no one was doing anything about it,till we came along.

I no longer believe in physical violence towards gay folks,but I will certainly oppose their agenda's.

Have a good one ....

I still refuse to vote, there is a grey area, and I will not conform to your fascism BASERSX

I have desires to see those movies. THIS particular movie does not appeal to me not because it has gay cowboys in it, but because I have read reviews, I have read the summary of the movie, and THE CONTENT doesn't appeal to me.

Everybody can't have the same tastes, and trying to push it on people is just crap.

What about Comglomerate Troy...Jun Dix Fun...Do you want to see those movies?

Or wait wait...Do you want to see MArch of Penguins?

I guess maybe not you know, because it has penguins in it, and not simple because you don't want to watch it. (Not saying you don't want to just giving a nonsense excuse as you are doing)

Why even explain it to him.. Hes not your mother. You chose not to vote, leave it at that.

[Breukelen advocaat]

I know I will not go to see this movie. Most of the films people say that you "have" to see are garbage.

[Shelbay]

You are making my point. All you see is a gay cowboy movie. If you have not seen it, how can you reach your conclusions? I know, it's what you heard. See, that's narrow minded.What is your point exactly? You are gay and want all of us to see bareback Mt.?...nothing unique about it and fyi..I don't want to see it. If you like it so much....go see it again. Tell you what...I will go see bareback MT. if you will go to confession?

[yoda]

i dont want to see it, not becuase its about gay cowboys, but because it doesnt sound appealing to me.

[Das Boot]

I call it bareback mountain

I call it buttback mountain.

[Nikita123]

So tell me, those of you that have seen it...........Does this film contain any good "Money Shots"........you know, a facial or a dirty sanchez?

Let me know, I might be enticed to watch it!:rasta:

[beachguy in thongs]

This made me look it up at imdb.com.

8 out of 10 stars by voters. I guess you know more about movie-making than 26,000 people who voted there.
