I just saw "Brokeback Mountain". Was the cumshot really necessary?

But can they form a valid opinion on whether it deserves to win an Oscar just by believing they know what it is about?

Of course, but could they construct a sound argument against a film receiving an Oscar based on what they have heard about it from secondary sources? Do they look just a tad foolish making comments like "I can't believe this movie being Oscar worthy.:ermm:" when they have no idea what the artistic content of the film is but rather just a vague notion of what it is about.

Sure, anyone can say they don't like the sound of a film, I do it all the time. I don't like the sound of MDB but until I see it I won't be commenting on its Oscar worthiness. And here's the shocker, I don't like the sound of Brokeback Mountain either. Cowboys? Mountains? 1960's? Gays? Fuck that, I want to watch people get blown away (in a 24 sense, obviously). But until I watch it (if ever), I'll hold my tongue as to its quality. For all I know it could be the greatest story ever told (ha!).

Hell, if I watched it I might end up agreeing with the idea that it is only winning awards because Hollywood is having a "Year of the Queer". But that won't be until I watch it...ugh.

Ok looky here see.....

The basic subject matter of BBM make it so it can't be Oscar worthy to me...and when I say that, I mean Best Picture.

The individual acting performances may be great...:mellow:
