Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
I am conflicted... you can find info about the movie here...

on one hand, this is a gay cowboy movie - there is at least one min. of dudes kissing, from what I understand.

On the other hand, I understand Anne Hathaway makes a topless appearance.

and to add to the conflict - Ang Lee and James Schamus also made Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon - One of my fav. all time films - but then they also made lamo Hulk.

I haven't decided yet - with this info....what will you do?

It's getting incredible reviews across the board. Check out this Metacritic score. I think it's about way more than just two gay cowboys; it encompasses a lot -- and at the Toronto Film Festival, it got a standing ovation and had grown straight men weeping, evidently.

I think it'll be awesome. Homophobes and philistines can stay away; everyone else will probably love it. (BTW, The Hulk is the only bad Ang Lee film -- he also did The Ice Storm and Eat, Drink, Man, Woman).

It's about gay cowboys eating pudding.

I giggle like a teenage girl everytime someone mentions this movie. Title is so close to "Bareback Mountain."

There is always room for puddin!

As a heterosexual male, I'm not sure which is more repulsive...two guys kissing or Anne Hathaway topless.

Wow.

So basically you would choose not to see a movie simply because you're that bothered by dudes kissing.

Secure much?

There's nothing wrong with that. Its not just an "I'm feeling rather fat today" insecurity. I watch Will & Grace ocassionally, and I may see this movie when it comes out on video. But I still find two men kissing repulsive.

Ditto. Except for the video part.

Two dudes kissing doesn't effect me in the slightest---neither turned on nor repulsed.

Samjones - Isn't Anne Hathaway the chick from Princess Diaries? I think there's a Havoc thread somewhere in OOT, but her breasts are OK in my book.

2 friends, whose opinions on movies I trust a great deal, said it was best movie of the year, not even close. Based on that I'll probably go check it out (though for movies in the theater right now I'd see Narnia and Geisha before this). Caveat - one of these people is a gay dude the other is a chick.

Yep, that's her.

Alright, I've changed my mind. I've seen HORRIBLE pictures of her, but she looks pretty good here...

I probably won't see it in theatres unless my friends want to go see it or something. and during the scene where dudes kiss I probably will be about as moved as during a scene in another movie where a guy and a girl kiss. love is love.

Aloysius 12-08-2005 02:11 PM

Re: Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
Sam - Yeah, her breasts get the job done. Her face is OK. Can't find a Havoc link (the previous one posted in OOT is dead), but I would recommend downloading it.

samjjones 12-08-2005 02:23 PM

On the bright side, if you are gay, there is a very good chance that you will run into other gay guys watching this at the theater.

Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I think Anne is pretty hot...very girl next door-ish. Damn those things are perky [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Are you somehow using "I watch Will and Grace" as a positive? The only time that phrase should be used is sometehing along the lines of "Normally I have good taste, but occassionaly I do screw up and watch Will and Grace."

Re: Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
i will see it and i think its going to be good too.

it's got two actors in which i like most all of their movies and as far as ang lee goes i really liked the hulk (though nobody else did) and the ice storm is brilliant. yeah, it will get awkward in scenes but some of the best movies do that. i have a feeling that america won't be ready for this and though it will get oscar nods and rave reviews it will get a backlash amongst fans. too bad.

I'm also amused that watching Will and Grace is his defense to potential homophobia.

I just find it totally pathetic that somebody would ever balk at going to a movie because of what's like less than a minute worth of kissing.

You're confusing homophobia with personal taste.

No, i don't think so. If there was a fat chick naked in the movie, and you didn't like to see fat chicks naked, would you not go to see a movie that had otherwise good review solely because of 0.5% of the movie was a fat chick naked?
If you refuse to see the movie cause two guys are kissing odds are its homophobia.

Re: Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
honestly, I straight up dont wanna see it because Im not a fan of westerns. I had to watch about a million of them growing up at my grandparents' house, and enough is enough.

btw, will and grace is funny sometimes, wtf?

"honestly, I straight up dont wanna see it because Im not a fan of westerns."

ditto. it has nothing to do with the sexuality of the cowboys, I think cowboy movies suck.

Dude if you want to see her [censored] in the movie just go to www.mrskin.com there already there skip the gay cowboys

Aloysius 12-08-2005 07:23 PM

Re: Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
Mrkilla - Dude this is a paysite and not a direct link to Havoc (which I assume you are referring to). WTF.

-Al

mrkilla 12-08-2005 07:26 PM

Re: Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
you can browse the thumb nails of here there, just increase your resolution

PS if hes got the thumb nails up, another "non paysite" will ahve the full pics somewhere . Im refering to the picture of Anne that Wiskey was looking for in his post.

And if you liek naked celebs the membershi is worht it . Its not really a porn site in that sense.

Aloysius 12-08-2005 07:32 PM

Re: Are you going to see Brokeback Mountain.
 
Mrkilla - We at OOT demand immediate gratification and if you are going to, pointedly I might add, tell another poster that he can just go ----> here to satisfy his curiosity, and "here" requires alot of additional browsing and work... don't bother posting it.

no I meant that I thought it was funny, the wtf was for the guy who said will and grace sucked.

Personally I'm not a big fan of Heath Ledger. I do like Gyllenhaal though. Overall the movie seems alot like a bunch of hot air. Hot air with boys cuddling. I'm pretty dubious.
