****Warning***** Poor Taste Thread

www.yahoo.com

I just have to laugh. I read the poster's view on Brokeback Mountain. It made me sad and I was almost ready to watch the movie until he said the part about prejudice causing gay men to have low self esteem which in turn caused them not to wear condoms. I was unimpressed by his last comment so I decided to see the hate it file of the movie. (A little thing www.imdb.com does to get viewers like you and me the chance to give our opinion on the movies that we watch. I got a particular chuckle out of the section at the bottom of each posts that says, for example 3 out of 20 found it useful. http://imdb.com/title/tt0388795/usercomments?filter=hate

What I found so amusing was the fact that every time something negative was said that a whole lot of people voted against it. (It’s unusual for a who lot of people to vote on one movie but to see these numbers and read some of the comments just made me laugh. Shame on me but go read some for yourself. Please read the comments for the movie to, especially the very first one. (It’s kind of sad but worth reading. Poor guy, I wish people were better to him.

 

I had to show this comment 'cause the author gave the movie 2 stars lol.

Aother film where women are treated badly., 2 January 2006

Author: carpedieminv from USA


I am commenting on this movie after sitting through it for two hours.I found it self indulgent and far from being a love story.This is a movie obviously made by self indulgent gay male movie execs who think it acceptable for women to be poorly treated yet again in a movie with no comment being made or passed.This takes womens role in film back 15 years.Heath ledger basically rapes his wife..yet it passes without comment by the filmmakers.. Basically this film is an excuse for two men to have it their way on a mountain and women to be treated badly because they are "men"..I don't care if the men are sleeping with each other or with women it is yet again a fairly shallow excuse for men to treat women badly.The men depicted in this movie are self centered,selfish and shallow.I don't care if they are gay or not,I have many gay friends..but I do care that yet once again we women are treated in a demeaning light on camera with men not being held accountable for their actions.Grow up you young short self indulgent narrow minded male studio execs.I do give the film credit for a Stunning Location,Stunning Cinematogropahy,Smooth Poetic Directing and Good Production Design(and muisc was adequate).I cannot credit anything else including the story and inspid performances by the women,and the verging on violent acting by the men.BORING. It is nice to see America put its Physical landscape on screen though for a change.There is still great beauty in this country .

Was the above comment useful to you?

 

i have no idea.....

 

Somehow I knew Ang Lee was going to direct something about gay cowboys right after I saw The Hulk and I didn't know why.

Gay cowboy's about as gay as you can get. Maybe gay pirates a little gayer, but it's still so gay.

I don't think I'm particualrly intrested in this movie. I hate westerns.

 

queen of laconic! that's it! we just need to cling to our ignorance. it's our only excuse!

<----also has no idea

get out of my head!!!

 

Arrrr! I've come for your pirate's booty! And your dinghy! Arrr!

 

I think I've found my wallet.

 

Is that what that is? I thought it was his large, gay, pirate penis under that spandex.
