Because he doesnt follow the gay culture? becuase he doesnt follow the cinema culture? Becuase maybe, just maybe, being the President of the most powerful nation on Earth has more important responsibilities then following the latest movie that was relased, and he was caught off gaurd by such a ridiculous and childish question?

Wheres the big ape kept? Cause I wanna see a real life King Kong. Or where are the vampires and werewolves fighting, cause that would be cool to watch. Maybe you could tell me where I can go to a house and torture people in the basement, I might need to work out some frusturation.

King Kong can be read as an examination of man's arrogance re: nature and the natural world, and the destruction of our natural resources with catastrophic consequences. But really, King Kong isn't being talked about in the way that Brokeback Mountain is. It isn't inspiring the same frenzy of commentary from left and right wing figures alike.

Tune in to the zeitgeist, Brokeback Mountain is inspiring passionate responses within the US and around the world, because it is so relevant to the USA's current neurosis/ anxiety about all things homosexual.

The OP is right. Bush get all fuzzled way too easily. Anybody with 2 brain cells could have responded with something.

 

[RightIsWrong]

I actually don't think that the OP is so much about the "gay agenda" as it is Bush's complete lack of braincells. It would have been very simple to say something like "I don't know what that is". Then the person could offer a follow up of something like "It's a movie about two cow-hands who happen to be gay but have to conceal their feelings b/c of homophobia". Bush then could have followed up with "I haven't seen it to comment" or "It sounds like an interesting movie and I might have to make the time to see it".

It comes down to the leader of the free world not being able to think on his feet without a hand up his ass.

 

[Pliablemoose]

A good bit of the world is living in poverty, we're at war in the Middle East, Bush is looking at possible criminal charges over violating people's constitutional rights, and some tool thinks he should have an opinion about gay cowboys eating pudding?

Yeah.

No justice no peace...

Yes, like when all the rebels were wearing beads, smoking bongs, and driving V.W. buses with flowers and peace signs on them, all the while denouncing the establishment. That is what this country is once again, degrading to. The degenerates, were and became just that. The veterans, who survived (physically and mentally) became the leadership of our country. They will again.

Now what's that movie again? 😉

the movie is symbolic of a larger issue, which is the heterosexual majority's hesitant steps in coming to terms with homosexuality. be brave!

Thanks for a good laugh :laugh:

Brokeback Mountain is a decent film, nothing spectacular, and certainly not worthy of the bevy of awards that have been bestowed upon it.

Hollywood is desperate to come up with something to right the sinking ship, and if "Brokeback" is all they can do, well...

I see what you are saying, but you can't expect most Americans to really care about this.

Its just not our culture at this current point.

There is a very trendy/metro part of the culture but there are also diff sectors that aren't so up to... date.

Brokeback isn't representative of mainstream Hollywood. It's a low budget arthouse flick, really. only cost $13 million to make. Compare that to Narnia, with a budget of $150 million. Yet it is Brokeback that has got a nation talking.

Ah yes...those are the ones who got a dozen deferrments, and spent the time coking up and getting plastered on booze (now what was that guy's name?--sounds like some kind of foliage, I think)

And, to be honest, both "Brokeback" and "Narnia" are mediocre films, at best.

You are trying to intertwine social fabric with Hollywood fantasy. Doesn't work that way. Mainstream America soundly rejects Hollywood's supposed "values" as well as their extremist views on society as a whole.

No, I'm not. I'm pointing out that Brokeback is a phenomenon.

The fascinating thing about Brokeback is that it is doing really well in places you wouldn't expect. Texas for example.

And we all know what comes from there, steers and ******. 😉

I'm not gay, but I know there are gay people all over the world and it isn't a hollywood conspiracy.

This all comes down to giving people the right to live as they please, because it's none of your business its none of mine.. the republicans need to stfu.

I really dislike President Bush, but I too have not seen Brokeback Mountain, nor can I imagine I ever will. I don't think this makes me a bad person or a homophobe.

:thumbsup: I think what it makes you is someone who thinks he can find something better to do with the large amount of money that one typically has to spend to go to the movies. I have no intention of seeing Brokeback Mountain simply because it's rated R. I don't like R rated movies, with very few exceptions. Though I did see the movie Rent. Great movie, by the way.

So I kind of have to agree. What difference does it make whether Bush has seen the movie or not? And just for the record, I did not vote for Bush, and no I am not a republican. I'm not a democrat either though.

Just goes to show you how far out the left has really become. Desperate to bash Bush for anything and everything (including light bulbs blowing out, and the sun going under the clouds)...

I think it's the "Far Out Left" , you know the opposite of the "Far Out Right" which you belong too. There's plenty to knock the Dub about like being a piss poor President IMO but not being interested in a Gay Cowboy Movie is not one of them.

 

[Genx87]

Is this really news? I mean really?

What is Ted Kennedys take on the movie? Does anybody really care?

Must be finally hitting the bottom of the barrel on the left.

That's the thing - if anything the contemporary Republican party is much more extreme than the Democrats, but they're a lot more adept at promoting their agenda and marginalizing their opponents. President Bush happens to be fun to mock, in that he's a comically inarticulate advocate for deeply flawed, sometimes criminal domestic and international policies, but giving him a hard time for his lack of knowledge of Brokeback Mountain just seems silly.
