Guess what I am going to see Saturday night... [Archive]

It looks like I am going to go see Brokeback Mountain. I am secure enough in my love of women that I don't feel threatend by the whole gay bit, and I want to see it because of the much hyped charchter development. Plus, there are 3x as many straight sex scenes as gay sex scences, so that will help keep things interesting. I will let you all know what I thought of it after I have seen it.

Mostly I was hungery, a little thirsty, and wondering why they were using Combine under the White brand name before 1975. Before then it would have more than likely been under the Oliver brand. It was a good movie, the concept was executed, and the gay sex was less explicit than Wet Hot American Summer. I guess I am the type of person that can enjoy a good movie without trying to make have a greater meaning for society. Hell, for the gay sex part, one of my college roomates was gay, so the ship has long since sailed on my being fazed by that.

Because it is a well developed story that is told extremely well. I suppose if you are so hung up on your issues about homosexuality, you won't enjoy the movie. But if your not, it's a well done done movie.

I have never heard that expression before, so if you're trying to insiuate something just say it.It means to open the door to other, more involved association with the subject matter. For example, hard-core abortion rights types are against a ban on "partial birth" abortion, because they fear it opens up the flood gate against abortion. That ban would "let the camel get his nose under the tent" regarding the subject of abortion legislation. This is how I understand the terminology.:)

I'd say some things can be "well done" and I'd still not want to see them for other reasons.

The sex isn't the point of the movie, the development of the relationship is.

I'm kind of tired of hearing that "it's about the realtionship." That's the whole frikkin point - the "relationship" is a romantic & sexual relationship BETWEEN TWO GUYS. I'm not going to go see a well-done portrayal of homosexual romance & heart-break any more than I'm going to go see "well made" movies about mass-murderers or NASCAR or ballroom dancing (etc...)
Also, it's not my responsibility to validate other people's values (whatever they are) by patronizing their well-made movies about them.

I know I've already said this elsewhere, more or less, but there.

I never said other people need to go see it. I said I though it was a good, movie, and I recommeneded it if people interested in seeing a well executed movie. Plus I wouldn't worry about the need to validate other peoples values by patronizing it. The movie has already turned a profit and that's all the validation it needs in a capitalist society.

It isn't about just about the relationship, the forbbiden nature of the relationship is what makes it poignant. If it were a guy and girl this film would be on Lifetime. That it's taking a chance and pushing the boundaries of what's considered normal is what is driving the buzz.

Would you see a movie about a NASCAR driver who goes a mass-murdering spree of ballroom dancers?

Somehow I'm reminded of Mark Twain's jab at Richard Wagner's music: "It's better than it sounds."
It may be a well-made movie, but I'm not a student of cinema. Content and statement mean at least as much to my proletarian tastes than technical merit or style points.
Your capitalism remark is well-taken, but I stick with my statememt about MY validating other people's views with my time and money.

***Would you see a movie about a NASCAR driver who goes a mass-murdering spree of ballroom dancers?
Perhaps if some of the ballroom dancers were involved in forbidden romances. ;)

Of course the film is "daring"; that's what's getting the attention. But is it good because it's daring? Or good because it's well made? Good because it's well-made & daring?

Bottom line: I'm just not interested and maybe starting to resent being told that I should be.

There are only three movies with gheys worth a farthing in my book; "Lawrence of Arabia;" "The Birdcage;" and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

Of course, those are the only three ghey movies I recall.

That said, this should not be construed as a general endorsement of ghey movies. This is not the case specifically because at no time in any of these films did men roll around the campfire making goo-goo eyes while rubbing on each other. I draw the line at goo-goo rubbing.

http://www.gaytona.com/miniwelcometogaytona200.jpg

How's it hanging?

Kasey had an astonishing year in 2004, running away with the Raybestos Rookie of the Year Award, grabbing four Bud poles, and coming in 2nd five times. Slim, young Kasey may seem like a boy among men, but don't let the smooth taste fool you: This kid is wicked fast and a real speed monkey behind the wheel. Kasey can get rattled -- we've all seen his hands shaking after a wreck as he gulps on a revolting Mountain Dew -- but we're convinced he'll win this year and will finish at least a couple of slots higher than last year. Will he make the Chase? We say YES!

Why we love him:

Kasey's youth and innocence in such a rowdy sport are a real turn-on. When we saw him during the off-season on QVC's "For Race Fans Only," Kasey seemed was almost comically serious as he dutifully hawked the toy cars and imitation fire-suits. Kasey seems as nice as Jamie but still in awe of his position and extremely serious. We hope this year he'll loosen up a little and get a little goofy once in a while. GO KASEY!

Which is cool, I guess, but nobody's forcing anyone to go watch it, are they?

I probably won't go see it just because it doesn't interest me. However, good for you royalfan for taking a chance on a movie. Maybe if more people took chances on what they watched we wouldn't have media orgasms over the latest piece of CGI garbage masquerading as a remake.

And, each of you cheer when one of our guys lies down on top of the guy from the other team and holds him down.
