Brokeback Question - Page 18

Mike in SW-MO · 01-25-2006, 04:11 PM

I'll admit I haven't seen the movie.

But I have one question about the flick and the media reporting.

As I understand it; the main characters are sheep herders.

So why are they consistently referred to as cowboys?

Is it because it would be too obvious to call them sheepboys?

The humping smily was tempting but probably in too poor of taste.

Obviously these concepts are beyond your limited comprehension.

I liked the way you criticized me for being fat and smoking. Newsflash, dipshit - when I was 18, I weighed 135 pounds and hated cigarettes. That was 22 YEARS AGO. Be sure to check in with me in 2028 and let me know if you've fucked up anything in your idyllic little life. Do you really think you understand the will to overcome life problems because you've nearly mastered high school? What a fucking idiot you are.

This time next year, you could be addicted to heroin; you could be a father; you could be dead. THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING. You're just as weak, stupid and naive as every other friggin teenager, and you utterly lack wisdom or experience. This makes you both an easy mark and an accident waiting to happen. Life's got all sorts of nasty little surprises in store for you, any one of which can instantly derail your plans to do whatever it is you want to do. Get in with the wrong crowd, drive down the wrong street at the wrong time, make a single bad decision in a moment of weakness - it really doesn't take much to change everything, perhaps quickly, perhaps slowly. And you won't know how you'll deal with any of it until it happens. What you want to do, or what you think you'll do means absolutely nothing.

As does your opinion of anybody here.

Exactly right. Rep.

Sounds to me like YOU'RE the one with the confidence problem. Search for the John Goodman is Dead thread, then tell me you're sorry about where I live.

"Intimate details of my life"... give me a ****ing break.

"Bitch on wheels" -honey, I was born with a bad ass attitude and that'll never change.

As for the confidence problem.... there is no problem...and that may be the ONLY problem. But I'm cool with that..I'd rather be semi- egotistical than put myself down every five seconds. Those girls can kick rocks...I'm happy being me, thankyou.

Keep living it big in Hollywood.... real big.

I'm gonna go have some drinks with my girls and laugh about sorry people like you, you big Hollywood producer.

Wow, that's sad. I'd never talk to anyone about you. What a life you must lead. And by the way, bad grammar on internet BB's and emails by someone who wants to be a teacher is pathetic. What are you gonna tell me next - 2+2=5?

And if you want to get personal here, bitch, you'll be LUCKY to ever live the life I've led. Good luck with that!

Jesus christ. We're all so lucky to be blessed with Dane's presence.

This guy's probably a busboy at some shithole restaraunt in some crappy part of California.

Hey Slag, I didn't say anything about my "line of work". I also mentioned in a prior post that I'm not currently working for any of the studios. And I never, ever said I was a "Movie Producer". I don't even know where that came from. In regards to the quote about my life, I was talking about my life experiences, many of which have been documented on this BB. But this was long before you came along.

Us poor simpletons may not be bright enough to realize it now, but interracting with Dame and his protege young master gojenson is certainly the highlight of our otherwise failed and useless lives. Where else could slime such as us come in contact with such BRILLIANCE! BRILLIANCE, I TELL YOU!!!

One day, we'll tell our grandchildren about this!
