So someone made a film about gay cowboys and by all accounts the acting was good and it was a well made movie.
But apparently this means hollywood is out of touch with middle america. Does every movie have to capitulate to the views of middle america
Did you have this inquisitive attitude about Gahndi, shakespear in love, schindlers list or lord of the rings ? Probably not. .............. I could be wrong.
the media would call it crap, just controversy and sex to sell tickets.Quote:

The hype for this movie would not have worked with 2 woman 'cause that is seen all the time in movies already and accepted more by society.
muchpl3 said there was even a damn jizz shot in the movie....an obvious attempt at being provocative.:dry:
(although it sounds like muchpl3 saw the director's cut special extreme edition at the special lisp members only screening in Al's Pleasure Cinemas :unsure: )

Start your own thread, and I wll respond as you wish.
You're off the mark in this one.
Clint made western movies
after that there was no other choice than go to the extreme.
Will this movie kill american mens opinion of history vs manhood (aka spitoons etc)?
In relation to lesbo version - no
OkQuote:

J2: I'm inquisitive attitude about the selectivity (or even whether such exists) with which this movie has been treated by Hollywood and the media.
Me: Has hollywood and the media treated this any differently at all compared to other movies? (insert examples of movie that got media and hollywood attention here) I note "certain groups" have, but not hollywood and the media.
j2: if you are not prepared to speculate fuck off.
I have yet to figure out why you think hollywood and the media is treating this "specially". I know why "certain groups" are and I am aware the media is reporting this. If you would care to enlighten me I may be in a better position to speculate as you desire.
Congratulations on a whole post without reference to the "Christian Right".Quote:

This is just a wild stab in the dark as I haven't seen it, but are the plaudits not for good acting, a coherent love story (if you like that sort of thing) and a beautifully filmed movie.
It could be two girls but if they were pish actresses and the director forgot to take the lens cap off then it might not get such good write ups.
Good point.Quote:
