Is America ready for Gay Cowboys on the Big Screen?
 This movie will be out December 9th. There will be people that get tickets just from seeing the poster. Some guys will see it as just another western. Some girls will see that it has 2 of the hottest young actors in it. What they won't see on the poster is the gay side of the movie. Here is the Trailer Brokeback Mountain Big Steve [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Is America ready for Gay Cowboys on the Big Screen?
Do you know how many movies feature gay characters these days?
Do you think this is the 1950's? Oh wait, you live in Mississippi, carry on. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That's off the top of my head, I can't even name as many Hispanic features. Edit: So yeah; I'm pretty sure we can handle it. Again, we're all sorry you live in Miss.

On a side note, if Michelle Williams and Ann Hathaway have some sort of lesbian thing going, I might willingly see this.

On a side note, the theater here is owned by Monty Royal who is Captain Christian so it may not even make it to Meridian, Mississippi. But we had "The Passion" on every damn screen for 5 weeks straight. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Big Steve [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Is America ready for Gay Cowboys on the Big Screen?
Its not a normal cowboy movie where the characters happen to be gay... Its about a gay relationship between two friends... Then one gets married has kids and conflict insues when he sees his "friend" again and they go on a "fishing trip." At least thats what I took from the preview.

Re: Is America ready for Gay Cowboys on the Big Screen?
Well.
Based on the preview the movie appears to feature quite a bit of on-screen gay cuddling and kissing and crap. This is what makes me not want to see the movie. Sure, there's been some good movies made featuring gay people. I really liked Philadelphia and I thought Ed Harris did a good job in The Hours. However, I just don't like to watch a couple of dudes making out and stuff, just like I really don't particularly enjoy watching love scenes between straight people, unless I'm whacking it. As far as mainstream US, I think it will be a moderate success. Swede
