"And Brokeback Mountain is a lesbian fantasy of homsosexual emotional love presented by a straight man (with his fantasies that even lovers rape their partner's ass on their first sex date), for straight women."

If you expanded this just a little, it would make a great audition piece. Well, at least I'D enjoy hearing it at an audition.

Should I prepare 16 bars of a grunge anthem?

Only if it's covered by Hole.

I just wore my Maximum Strength Hole t-shirt from the Celebrity Skin tour on Saturday. Now THAT'S rock and roll.

I believe that's a typo. I believe you meant to type "homo-SO-sexual," no?

I liked the WOODSTOCK film but it would have done better with a trailer that would make you realize the film is NOT about the actual performances but about the making of the festival and the family at its core. And yes, BROKEBACK was a dull film that was self-consciously "well meaning" to mainstream America. I did think Heath and Michelle were wonderful.

"So, thanks Luscious, for finding a way for criticizing me for going to a movie with the thoughts and hopes that it would be good and then being disappointed. With the movie. That I saw. Thinking it might be good."

Sorry you mistook my comments as criticism. I had no idea you were so sensitive. You're certainly free to see whatever movie you like and have whatever opinion of it you choose. I still think it's odd that one would go to see a movie by one of one's least favorite directors on its opening weekend. With so many other movies to choose from, why choose one that you're almost certain to loathe? I, for one, have better things to do with my time and money. Sorry you didn't like Ang's latest. I haven't seen it yet, so I can't comment on the film. Although I'm a big fan of BROKEBACK and the subject matter of WOODSTOCK, Ang is not one of my favorite directors. I'm sure I'll get around to seeing it eventually.

Oh my gosh, oh dear, my cheeks are wet, my heart's racing, I'm getting so nostalgic reading the heated rhetoric here. Let's see if we can work in a Kristen vs Idina debate, too. And call the thread TAKING BROADWAYWORLD.

What heated rhetoric?

Okay, Luscious, so now the sticking point is that I saw it on opening weekend? At what point would it have been more credible, in your eyes, for me to have seen it?

I detailed why I saw it after you called me out for "running out and seeing it." I'm sorry if you can't understand, maybe it's just not meant for you to get it. Now I am just going to sit here with envy as I imagine all the better things you have to do with your time than go see a movie that might have been a pleasant diversion but was in fact not. You lucky devil.

"Okay, Luscious, so now the sticking point is that I saw it on opening weekend?"

That was always my point. My original post reads...

"Why on earth would someone who obviously loathes Lee's work run out to see his latest on its opening weekend??? Just seems odd to me."

In any event, I'm not looking to argue or debate the merits of Lee's work with you. You're the one belaboring the point.
