Ok should I watch Brokeback Mountain?

[Dizaster]

I don't mind chick flicks.. Not an enormous fan of Anne Hathoway, but HAVE been tossing up (yes I said up not off) whether to see this movie..

In the other thread about great movies that sucked, someone said this was rubbish.. For me to enjoy a movie based solely on the lifestyle of 2 gay guys, it better have a good story or action or whatever. I don't want to watch it and just feel like i've wasted 2 hours..

IMHO, the only reason Brokeback got the publicity and kudos it did was because it was about two gay guys, and they just don't make mainstream movies like that very often. If it's about a hetero couple, people would be falling asleep in their seats. It just ain't that great.

But that ain't the question Bilbo asked. You seem like an open minded guy. See the movie. It's not exactly hardcore or anything, I think you should be able to handle it, if you're a Hathaway fan you will likely store a few images in your brain that you can whack off to when you get home.

I thought the acting sold it,Im not falling over myself to watch it again,but I thought the plot was,well a chick flick,but I did think the acting was pretty good

heh heh, considering the actors were probably straight (At least Ledger was) hell yeah, I'd say the acting was very good.

Yeah it didnt have the shock factor for me,Ive lived in NY LA and was born in Philly,if I saw video footage of a man taking it from a horse,about all Id probably think was,"Man,I bet that hurt like hell"
So two Cowboys in love didnt exactly shock the hell out of me.
I mean credit to both actors for really risking their careers on that film,but I cant be made to watch Beaches at gunpoint. And its the same type of sweeping love story shit that makes your wife get weepy.
I love my wife for rarely making me watch that type of crap,but it was on,and she was curious,and I was stuck watching it. Im only suprised Whitney Houston didnt sing the theme,or Celine Dion

I think we're pretty much on the same page with this topic. It didn't gross me out either, but then again, I didn't have to play the part. So credit to the actors for as slighty different reason also.

In all honesty,thats part of why I give them credit for doing the film. I wouldnt want to do a tongue kiss with a man in the privacy of my own home. These are two straight actors doing it on film.
And Im not saying it like an anti-gay thing,as long as everyone's a consenting adult,I dont really care what in the hell you put where. But being straight,man I couldnt do that.
Actually one of the reasons I think being gay is genetic,Im a really liberal dude,and the very thought of making out with a guy makes me twitch slightly,I cant see how youd choose that.
Let the discussion spin out of control right about now
