Brokeback mountain is a box office success.

Sounds like it'll be right up your alley. BTW I have yet to hear ONE "rump ranger" joke in reference to this movie, that's how much everybody likes it. So yeah, you probably should go see it.

I have to say I'm pretty perplexed about the movie. I'm not really sure what its about. I know it has gay cowboys, but is it about them being persecuted or something or does it tell a different story, and doesn't really make a huge deal about them being gay?

I won't see it until it comes out on DVD, and I doubt I'll rush to see it then, however based on the praise its getting it seems like it should be worth watching.

I'll probably watch this once it's on DVD. I've only heard good things from people that have seen it.

the only reasons i might go see it:
a) a REALLY REALLY REALLY hot girl asks me to go and promisses to "make sure i'm not gay" afterwards :D
b) they eat pudding cause that would be the most hilarious thing since the south park episode with the gay cowboys eating pudding :p

Nope, it's just a normal love story, only involving two men . . . with spurs, pointy designer boots, colorful bandanas that really complement their outfits, and finely braided lariats. Did I mention spurs?

The risque part is when the horse gets jealous, a cowboy's lonely past on the range is revealed, and the most unlikely love triangle ever to hit the silver screen evolves -- based loosely on the life of John (nee Marion Morrison) Wayne.

I guess we never really knew just why he walked that way.

Haven't seen it. Some people at a holiday party insisted it's called "Bareback Mountain". I kid you not.

It broke the record for highest per-screen gross ever (for a live action film).

I will eventually see it on video. It's not playing around here, and I've got several movies I'd rather pay to see more. I'm not bothered by the subject matter, so to me it's an opportunity to see a critically acclaimed film.

The rest of you need to get over yourselves.

No kidding.

Brokeback Mountain is easily one of the best films of the year. It's not surprising most people haven't seen it yet since classics like "The Ringer" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" have come out.

Gotta love the responses in this thread...no wonder people weep for the future.

I'd like to see it. But I heard it's very sad.
Anyone who has anything bad to say about this movie because of it's homosexual nature will have two tickets to the gun show.

Overall, I liked it -- I was never bored and it didn't get too sappy at any point for my tastes. Actually, it could've stood the addition of a little schmaltz...
