Brokeback Question

[Mike in SW-MO]

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? ROFL


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

[JBucc]

Yeah, sheep don't taste very good:hump:

[Fish]

:hump:

we're all about poor taste here........... get with it.........

[Phobia]

Why is everybody talking about it? I don't understand.

[redbrian]

Gay sheep hearders?

Would that mean the ewe's are safe and the Rams are nervous?

[ChiefsCountry]

Gay sheep hearders?

Would that mean the ewe's are safe and the Rams are nervous?

Well St. Louis is pretty gay. :)

[foxman]

Gay sheep hearders?


As opposed to straight sheep hearders?

[Reaper16]

As opposed to straight sheep hearders?
Straight sheep herders? C'mon, let's be real here. :rolleyes:

[journeyscarab]

I thought independent films were always about gay cowboys sitting around the campfire, eating pudding?

[TinyEvel]

There's an Outback Steakhouse commercial where two cops are having a long dinner then they get into their squad car and there's been a perp in the back.
The kind of dinner they're having looks like it should be called "Brokeback Steakhouse"

[Simplex3]

Why is everybody talking about it? I don't understand.
...because we're surrounded by gay sheep-herders?

[Wile_E_Coyote]

cattle or sheep don't matter, because if it ain't brokeback do fix it

[KCChiefsMan]

I've never even seen a trailer for this movie, I've only heard about it on Conan O"Brien.....so it's about 2 gay cowboys? why would anybody want to watch that?

[foxman]

Straight sheep herders? C'mon, let's be real here. :rolleyes:

That was my point, he posed it as a question as if there are straight sheep hearders....
:shake:

Why would anyone want to watch a movie about comic book characters? Beats me, but they rake in millions at the box-office. Obviously, the movie attracts the gay and lesbian crowd. It's also a well made movie that's pretty original and I wouldn't be surprised if there's more gay movies coming out in a couple of years. So, maybe it's groundbreaking? It's nominated for many awards, has received a lot of acclaim, so maybe people want to see it for that reason.

How about, cause comic book super heros are fun and entertaining, and some of of us aren't movie snobs and like mindless entertainment.

Anyone can tell when some program or movie is trying too hard to push the agenda (no matter what agenda that is.) When I want to be entertained I dont want to be preached to.

It is these films i am refering to

Most Indi Film makers are non courrupt, but $ and fame can change people very differently and quickly.

And you know this HOW? Do you live in Hollywood? Have you worked in Hollywood? How many successful and non-successful filmakers and producers in Hollywood do you know? I'm just curious because you sure seem to think you know a lot about Hollywood for someone living in Lenexa, KS.

My Cousin Graduated from USC in 96 with his degree In Film Making and Cinematagrophy, He worked for "American Zoetrope" For a couple of years.

He is now working as the Kansas Film Commissinor and as he and His wife (who also went to USC and got the same Degree) Are filming a Project Right now


P.S (EDIT)-

Not all successful movies are made in hollywood.

So that makes you (and him, give me a break) and expert on Hollywood and the movie studios? You're freakin' clueless.

I worked at Universal for 4 years and at Paramount for 5 years. I knew all of the execs and of course, just like in any walk of life, there were gay men and women in the workforce. But there certainly wasn't and ISN'T a "Gay Agenda"!

The movie studios exist for one thing and it's not entertainment - it's to make money. There is no way that ANY studio head would greenlight a movie because it promotes a "Gay" agenda and ignore the box office reciepts. That would be a quick way to be dismissed.

From your responses on both gay topics, you seem to have a problem with gays in general. It's a good thing you're in Kansas because you wouldn't be able to survive on either coast with your issues.

[plbrdude]

i think there is a gay agenda, and it's not all coming from hollywood.

[DaneMcCloud]

You're a pharmacist? Scary...

[the Talking Can]

one movie including homosexuals for every 33,000 movies including heterosexuals = gay agenda?

home schooling = idiot?

[Bald but Beautiful]

A movie like this was bound to happen sometime. Eventually there was going to be a movie that was going to male homosexual related that will probably go on and win the Oscar for Best Picture. Face the facts, peeps, this will win the Oscar. I am willing to bet on it. Any takers? Just kidding, but it could.

Yeah, not because Heath Ledger gave a great, great performance or anything. Nah, couldn't be that. Agenda, yeah.

Walk The Line? Damn country music agenda! Capote? Get your literary agenda out of my theatre!

Truthfully, I'm about sick of the moronic a**hole agenda being pumped out.

[Frazod]

Call 'em gay sheepherders, and nobody cares.

Call 'em gay cowboys, and you've put a skirt on the quintessential American male icon. Which is certainly what they're going for.

Push the envelope, offend the hell out of the red states, and hand out ten gallon bigot hats to anybody who cries foul.

I can't imagine a bigger win/win/win for the ultraleft. You go, girl. :shake:

It's marketers know how to push buttons, yes. It's also a decent movie with two good actors and a good director. I don't think it should win best picture, though.

[alanm]

Yeah, not because Heath Ledger gave a great, great performance or anything. Nah, couldn't be that. Agenda, yeah.Maybe so. But I wouldn't know. Not my kind of movie. So I can't judge his preformance.
Perhaps you can fill me in on how good it was?

What's a movie snob?

If you enjoyed the book Catcher in the Rye, does that make you a book snob? What if you like The West Wing? Or you then a TV Show snob? I like Dali's paintings, so I suppose I'm a Paint Snob? If you like Beethoven, or you automatically a Music Snob?

[Reaper16]

btw - the movie isn't an all fluffy, "pro-gay" queer-fest. We see how much the relationship ****s things up at home for thier wives, families, etc. Catch it on cable in a year; nobody should turn away from a quality movie because of possibly offensive content.

[Frazod]

It probably is a good movie. Ang Lee is a damn good director. Ledger and Gyw-whatever are excellent actors. If they want to make a gay movie, fine, that's their business.

But I'm tired of the liberal press beating me over the head with it. I not gonna go see this movie, anymore than I'd watch some friggin chick flick.

[Hammock Parties]

The people who think Brokeback Mountain has a gay agenda are the same people who thought Million Dollar Baby had an euthanasia agenda.

I don't know about liberal press, but I agree with this. It's a tragic love story - not most guys' cup of tea regardless of sexual persuasion. I too get turned off when the marketing machine blitzes a certain film thoughout the media. I only saw it because I'm a big movie fan, heard it was good, and am a fan of Ang Lee and Jake Gyllenhall. (Heath "A Knight's Tale" Ledger earned my respect as an actor in this movie with a strong, fully realized performance.)

[Jenson71]

When commercials and newspapers seem to beat you in the head, do you really have much room to talk?

You're 18 years old, have a picture of Woody Allen as your avatar, and you are seriously interested in all that other crap, and, I say again, YOU'RE 18? Not to mention the fact that you're talking about it on FRIGGIN FOOTBALL BB?

I guess there's something to be said for expanding one's horizons, but I'd personally feel alot better if you'd post something positive about beer, fast cars or big tits. At least once.

I don't think not wanting to see it makes you hate or fear gays, no. Obviously, it could just be uncomfortable to see two men making love to one another. It's not something I enjoy, but I don't enjoy seeing Jews getting burnt in chambers either. However, if you asked me to spend a few hours watching Schindler's List, I wouldn't hesitate one bit.

I was once a fat bastard. I'm related to fat bastards. I'm friends with a ton of fat bastards.

I still like 'em, they're still good people, I just don't don't want to watch them breed.

When it comes to gays, I refer to Darth Vader:

I have been to worlds were they have six sexes. The New Order has no interest in what goes on in the bedrooms of its citizens, and as long as their marriage licenses are paid for with good Imperial Credits, I cannot see anyone complaining.

Lighten up Francis. At 18 I was in college, drinking beer and driving a 396 Chevelle. Didn't need the hookers either. AND after all that and expanding my mind in college doing just about every drug under the sun I still managed to have a career in Federal law enforcement and retired after 20. Now, I'm back in school working on another career.

So in effect, You CAN have it all. :thumb:

ROFL well I think gojenson has finally completed the circuit. He has managed to get into it with almost all the real regulars at one time or another. Tonite Frazod is added to the list. What is amazing is how he has been able to spread it out over such a long time period.

One thing I like is how I never start the arguments, yet I always shut my foes down.

I'm not your foe. You're nothing to me. I feel mildly sorry for you, and think it's sad that you're such a freak. But since I'll never know you, I really don't give a shit, and I'm not going to dwell on it.

So if you chalk that up as a victory, well, enjoy.

[Jenson71]

Suddenly, you're proud, high horse has fallen on it's stomache, Frazod. I don't expect any more offensives from you for a long time now. Be a good, open minded fellow and run along.

QT, I've long monitored your posts and please work on the grammar. If you plan to get a job in the private school sector, you need a lot of work. Good luck with that. Otherwise, be happy with the $27,456 the state of California will pay you each year.

Listen, Dane.... As this is the first time I have ever seen or heard of you I'll take it easy on ya. If I chose to NOT use proper grammar when I am typing on a damn message board... leave it be. PLEASE WORK ON THE GRAMMAR. You can take your 600 posts and shove them up your ass. As for my career.... you can avoid giving me further advice, cause frankly I don't give a flying ****. Furthermore, I see you reside in Hollywood. :hmmm: This is where I feel semi-sorry for you. It's understandable that after a night of being ass-raped by your flamer boyfriend you would need to come on the board and act like a whiney bitch, trying to take some of the pain away. Maybe you should consider switching over to the opposite sex.


One more thing...just in case I haven't made my point: You're a ****ing douche bag. How's that for working on the grammar. Men, especially butt hurt men.... :shake:

The people who think Brokeback Mountain has a gay agenda are the same people who thought Million Dollar Baby had an euthanasia agenda.

i think there is a gay agenda, and it's not all coming from hollywood.


Yes, KU has been pumping this shit out for years.

[Inspector]

So that makes you (and him, give me a break) and expert on Hollywood and the movie studios? You're freakin' clueless.

I worked at Universal for 4 years and at Paramount for 5 years. I knew all of the execs and of course, just like in any walk of life, there were gay men and women in the workforce. But there certainly wasn't and ISN'T a "Gay Agenda"!

The movie studios exist for one thing and it's not entertainment - it's to make money. There is no way that ANY studio head would greenlight a movie because it promotes a "Gay" agenda and ignore the box office reciepts. That would be a quick way to be dismissed.

From your responses on both gay topics, you seem to have a problem with gays in general. It's a good thing you're in Kansas because you wouldn't be able to survive on either coast with your issues.

I don't understand, how a movie so popular, (which has been out sold at the box office for the full 7 weeks it has been released by many movies' first weekend release amount). I mean honestly, Hostel, a movie by Lion's Gate, has sold as many tickets in 3 weeks. I still don't care to see either one of those movies. Why are we still talking about this?

[Sully]

I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago. I'm extremely liberal when it comes to accepting homosexuality, so the premise of the film was one I didn't think would bother me. However, I did think I'd be fairly uncomfortable watching the sex scenes. Turns out, there was really only one, very short, sex scene, involving gay sex. There were 3-4 involving straight sex (inluding Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway nekkid). The acting was great in the movie. I think Gyllenhall and Ledger, and even Michelle Williams did a very good job with the characters.
However, the story was a little boring in parts. It dragged, and it seemed the movie could have been a lot shorter than it was. So, though the acting was great, I don't think it was a great movie. I think the reason it will win Best Pic has more to do with the fact that it's sort of groundbreaking to explore this type of relationship, expecially with A-list type actors and a studio, and that is bringing the accolades.

[Saulbadguy]

It's amazing how much ugly people can get when they are simply disagreeing on taste in movies.

[NewChief]

My wife went and saw it. I'll see it once it comes out on rental, as I love E. Annie Proulx, the writer who wrote the original story it's based upon.

The thing that got me was this:
Evidently the two lovers meet in Montana on "Brokeback Mountain" every year to go fishing together. Hearing this, I got pretty interested in the movie, thinking there might be some good fishing scenes in it. So I start asking my wife about the fishing. That's when I find out that they weren't even actually fishing. They never even took the pricetags off their gear. I mean, come on! Meeting for hot buttsex on Brokeback Mountain is one thing... but going to Montana and not fishing... that's inexcusable.

Excuse me for not being a post-whore, but I've been around since the old KC Star days. You put your stupid-ass picture up for everyone to see, tell everyone intimate details of your life and your life's ambition, but turn into a bitch-on-wheels when someone calls you on it (i.e. me on your grammar and a ton of others about your ass pic)? 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.

Avoid me and pick on QT. What a tough little metrosexual you must be.

Fraz, I didn't avoid you. I was giving you a little respect, especially since Jenson freakin' BODY SLAMMED you long before I posted. Again, if you're going to post intimate detail of your life on a bulletin board for the world to see, you better be prepared when it's thrown back in your face.

What's interesting about this movie is that it was co-written by Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove, among others), directed by Ang Lee and distributed by Universal.

I have yet to see it but friends that have tell me that it's pretty much your average boring love story and if it were a man and a women (instead of the gay cowboys), no one would even give this movie a second thought.

I'll probably get a copy before the Oscar voting (I'm not a voter but have access to the DVD's provided to the Academy Members) but for the most part, cowboy movies for me start with John Wayne and end with Clint Eastwood. There's been a few since the "glory days" of westerns, but not many. And I doubt this will qualify as one of the good ones.

He didn't bodyslam jackshit, Dame. To summarize, he basically called me a fat beer drinking smoker who sponges a living off my wife. And apparently he didn't like that Godfather book. ooooooh

Well, let's see. I quit smoking. Yeah, I'm fat, but I'm losing weight. If getting fat at 40 is a crime, sue me and half the country. And I don't drink beer - I drink $130+ a bottle scotch, and certainly not to excess. And as my wife is unemployed, I guess her income isn't supporting my non-existant beer habit.

gojenson did his best to paint me into a trailer court, but I'm sorry, it just didn't work. At least in the beginning, I was somewhat concerned about him being such a little sissy. At somepoint, I realized he was a lost cause.

I think you have succeeded in illustrating the agenda of the movie industry.

Average boring love story that would not be given a second thought if it wasn't about gay cowboys.

So why is it being given the royal treatment in the awards with huge publicity?
Because it is a movie about gay cowboys.

What is there about this movie that is more deserving of awards than "The Passion of the Christ?" (Which I also did not see. Before I am painted as a religious wackjob.)

Whether you like it or not, gay-friendly entertainment gets a very different reception than family/Christian/religious friendly entertainment.

I wouldn't go that far. There's been plenty of Oscar nominated and Oscar winning love stories over the years (Titanic, Bridges of Madison County, The English Patient, Terms of Endearment, Shakespeare in Love, etc.). I'm guessing the reason it's getting so much publicity is probably because it is a good movie. But that doesn't mean that I want to see it. I've never even seen Titanic (personal reasons), Bridges of Madison County or the English Patient. Love stories bore the hell out of me.

I agree that if this movie weren't a gay movie no one would be giving it a second thought. But there wouldn't be a movie if the principles weren't gay, that's the whole point of it.

You cannot possibly be serious. Nice joke.:clap:

Wow! Gojenson has become a steaming pile. What happened to the little fella?

I think the boy is finally getting some hormone treatments. It has amplified his abrasiveness.

I think that's how the 'shocker' was invented.

[Boon]

Also, people seem to be forgetting half the equation. Half of the reason it's getting so much press is because other people are so OUTRAGED! by the fact that there's a movie about gay cowboys.


Not cowboys damnit---shepards!!

I think that's how the 'shocker' was invented.

It even had an Influence on a Major Hollywood Picture

You mean that ONE GUY The Daily Show found to interview?

But sure, go ahead and dig up every person from every corner of the globe who has said anything negative about the movie and convince us that they are;

OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!!

and

THE Premiere voice of the people.

NGAF.

Not you. I was just answering your question.

:doh!: Um, uh, I knew that. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[FringeNC]

Men generally don't read romance novels and do not go to see romance movies, unless it is a date flick. Don't see how this would be a good date flick....a man leaving his wife for another man --now that's really gonna put her in the mood.

All this moral posturing by the left about how red-state America is too homophobic to see it grows a little a little tiresome. We're simply not interested. Doesn't mean we want sodomy laws enforced, and gays thrown into concentration camps.

And the assertion that Hollywood hasn't given this movie special attention is absurd. The machinery is promoting film like no other.

[Jenson71]

I think the boy is finally getting some hormone treatments. It has amplified his abrasiveness.

Not treatments, but rather, experience and knowledge.

[Jenson71]

At somepoint, I realized he was a lost cause.


Interesting thesis on myself. Ask anyone that knows me, and that would be the last thing they would say about me. I could give you a dozen reasons why I'm not lost off the top of my head this instant. Being a lost cause is something I'll never be familiar with.

[Irie James]

Hollywood has a shocker agenda.

I'm actually surprised no one threw a fit over that movie "D.E.B.S." I haven't seen it yet, but it's basically supposed to be a teenage type movie that's based around a teenage lesbian relationship. I mean it didn't pack the same star power I guess, but I figured that movie would draw more controversy than this one because it was targeted right at teenagers.

Whats wrong with that?

Haha, I didn't say I had a problem with it, I was refering to the general public.

They don't like gays guys.

An overwhelming response by frazod....

An overwhelming response by frazod....

He's probably headed home from work. That's something the big people do. You'd probably not understand.

[Deberg_1990]

People like lesbians. They don't like gays guys.


Very very true.......you hit the nail on the head.

[Jenson71]

He's probably headed home from work. That's something the big people do. You'd probably not understand.

No he's not. And how would I not understand that? Are you assuming my parents and friend's parents do not work?

[mike_b_284]

You're an overweight near forty year old,closed-minded smoker who liked The Godfather Returns. And you have a Stanley Kubrick film in your avator and are talking about the same "crap" right now that I am.

While you spend the small amount of money you have on beer and fast cars, I save my money for college. I don't need advice from you.

what a pussy.

[Brock]

No he's not. And how would I not understand that? Are you assuming my parents and friend's parents do not work?

I'm sure your parents do work. I'm sure they'll support you all the way through film school and well beyond.

[Rausch]

No he's not. And how would I not understand that? Are you assuming my parents and friend's parents do not work?

So if you don't work how did you save up all this money for college?...

[mike_b_284]

I'm sure your parents do work. I'm sure they'll support you all the way through film school and well beyond.
:clap:

[htismaqe]

I'm sure your parents do work. I'm sure they'll support you all the way through film school and well beyond.

They told him that they wanted him to get a "real job".

So he's sucking dicks to get through film school.

[Frazod]

An overwhelming response by frazod....

Uh, I'm busy at work, junior. I'll deal with your infantile ass later.

[Deberg_1990]

Damnit Jensen, why cant you just go watch Big Mommas House 2 and Underworld on Friday nights like every other kid your age? WHy must you complicate our lives like this???? LOL

[Jenson71]

So if you don't work how did you save up all this money for college?...

Who said I don't work?

[Jenson71]

I'm sure your parents do work. I'm sure they'll support you all the way through film school and well beyond.

You're not sure about that at all. They're not paying a dime for my college. And film school? Another wrong assumption?

[Rausch]

Who said I don't work?

Oh, I'm sorry. Where do you work Jenson?

[Jenson71]

Uh, I'm busy at work, junior. I'll deal with your infantile ass later.

You post everyday throughout the day. Pretty demanding job.

[Jenson71]

Oh, I'm sorry. Where do you work Jenson?

HyVee and the Young Arena.

[Brock]

HyVee and the Young Arena.

Wow - you're really in demand.

[jspchief]

Oh, I'm sorry. Where do you work Jenson? It has to be Blockbuster Video or some other video store. That's where all the movie dorks work.

[Jenson71]

Wow - you're really in demand.

I'm in high school.

[Jenson71]

It has to be Blockbuster Video or some other video store. That's where all the movie dorks work.

You're from Ankeny. You don't know what HyVee is?

[Brock]

I'm in high school.

I'm not surprised. You come across as a naive, ignorant, punk kid.

[Rausch]

It has to be Blockbuster Video or some other video store. That's where all the movie dorks work.

Watch it...

[Reaper16]

There's nothing wrong with appreciating cinema at it's highest forms.

There's everything wrong with getting into arguments with people over nothing all the while using cliched verbal assaults.

[Rausch]

Which college to you plan to attend?

[jspchief]

Watch it... ROFL Do you work at a video store?

[Jenson71]

University of Iowa or University of Northern Iowa.

To KcMizzou:

Because I thought you did. I thought you also might like to hear what he said about Brokeback Mountain. If so, let me know.

[Rausch]

ROFL Do you work at a video store?

Years ago.

Fun job if yer' young and single...

[htismaqe]

I'm not surprised. You come across as a naive, ignorant, punk kid.

It's a coping mechanism, often used by teenagers who are confused about their sexuality...

[Jenson71]

[htismaqe]

No.

Acting the way you're acting is a coping mechanism.

You better stop sleep during 3rd period, your comprehension skills are lacking.

[jspchief]

Years ago.

Fun job if yer' young and single...OK.

For the record, I said "all movie dorks work at video stores" which does not neccesarily mean "all video store employees are movie dorks".

[Jenson71]

You better stop sleep during 3rd period, your comprehension skills are lacking.

I know what you meant. I also know you mean sleeping instead of sleep.

[Jenson71]

OK.

For the record, I said "all movie dorks work at video stores" which does not neccesarily mean "all video store employees are movie dorks".

For the record, I do not work at a video store, therefore, using your formula, I am also not a movie dork.

[Rausch]

OK.

For the record, I said "all movie dorks work at video stores" which does not neccesarily mean "all video store employees are movie dorks".

What exactly qualifies one as a "movie dork?"

:hmmm:

[jspchief]

For the record, I do not work at a video store, therefore, using your formula, I am also not a movie dork.No, you're a more rounded dork.

[jspchief]

What exactly qualifies one as a "movie dork?"

:hmmm:Someone who inserts their movie snob opinions into every movie discussion. Someone that has to tell you that some obscure Acotr X movie that 10% of the population has seen is better than whichever Actor X movie is the topic at hand. Someone who can no longer enjoy a movie for the entertainment value. Someone that automatically rejects all big budget movies as hollywood tripe.

[Jenson71]

No, you're a more rounded dork.

And your attitude towards this fellow Iowan is pretty entertaining.

[jspchief]

And your attitude towards this fellow Iowan is pretty entertaining.What? Is the fact that you live in the same state as me supposed to make me look past your being a loser?

[Jenson71]

Oh, good. I was worried there for a second. Now I know I'm just a movie elitist. :)

[Jenson71]

What? Is the fact that you live in the same state as me supposed to make me look past your being a loser?

More entertainment.

[Jenson71]

Yes.

You couldn't prove it if I asked you one damn bit.

[Jenson71]

Using his profile, jspchief is about a week away from his 33rd birthday. He is a roofing contractor, and he has spent more than enough time today trying to make a case that someone almost half his age is a loser.

[jspchief]

You couldn't prove it if I asked you one damn bit.I don't need to prove it. It's my opinion.

And apparently my opinion is shared by at least a few others.

[jspchief]

[Jenson71]

I don't need to prove it. It's my opinion.

And apparently my opinion is shared by at least a few others.

You have a formula with examples that labels someone a movie dork. You labeled me a movie dork, so, you must be able to fit your formula around me. If you can't do that, your forumla has no backbone.

[Jenson71]

Your point?

That's my question to you.

[Bwana]

That's my question to you.

Heh! :)
