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!

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

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?

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!

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!!!

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:

:rolleyes:

You can't even carry yourself like a man.

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!!

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.

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!!!

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.

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?

I thought so.

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.

I call it bareback mountain

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.
