Did you tell the cows about it?

Didn't they go with him? Were they disappointed that it only involved sheep and very little cows? Except for the bull throwing?

[Kringas]

No, he said he couldn't bring the cows.

I dunno. harris is the one with the cow fetish

[Kringas]

Posted: 1/12/06 at 12:13am

I don't know if it was a fetish, but my mom really dug cows. She used to have cows all over her house. One year she had two Christmas trees - a normal one and then another, decorated only with cows.

My fetishes couldn't be displayed on a Christmas tree.

how many cow ornaments were on the cow tree?

[Kringas]

Posted: 1/12/06 at 12:19am

It wasn't a huge tree, maybe about four feet or so. I'd guess there were at least twenty or so cow or cow-related ornaments on it.

Okay Okay Okay, I am a gay man and a filmmaker and I LOVED Brokeback Mountain, but to say its the most important gay film of all time is going WAY far. and some poster talking about sociopolitical effects - yea ANOTHER gay FORBIDDEN love story as if GAY LOVE is a SIN bookended by heterosexuality and women (especially as wives)and children. It's not like it hasn't been done before it's just that the film is well made, well written, well directed well acted and well shot. It's not supposed to be some icon for Gay Rights its a Universal Love Story that is supposed to touch all. Please don't turn this beautiful film into political propaganda.

Too late. It's BEEN a controversial/political film for weeks now. And none of us here did that. Just commented on what is. Sorry you don't like that. You are welcome to your opinion. And, I am welcome to mine.

[Luscious]

Posted: 1/12/06 at 8:44pm

Yup. Have to disagree with you badrel. You don't get to decide whether it's the most important gay film of all time. Not saying it is, or isn't. Just saying that it's not yours (or mine) to decide. But one things for sure, it's certainly turning into the most talked about, debated, accepted (by mainstream audiences), acclaimed, awarded, and highest grossing gay film of all time.
And that's just what might end up making it the most important.

I think one of the sheep muttered, "damn wankers," under its breath during the mixed-herd scene. But I'll have to rewatch it to make sure.

jrbactor can you explain what about Brokeback Mountain makes it a political film? Controversial, so is Munich, thats not saying much. Controversial films are made all the time to encite debate, but this film is NOT a gay film to advocate gay rights. Especially when the main characters don't even consider themselves queer, they consider themselves in love.

NOT a gay film to advocate gay rights

It's not advocacy for gay rights? Jack and Ennis can't have their "sweet life" together because of social mores that don't allow for two men to live together without risking DEATH. They don't have that right. Perhaps constitutionally they do, but culturally, they sure as hell don't. Surely the movie makes a very big statement by virtue of the fact that these characters are *not allowed* to be together.

Especially when the main characters don't even consider themselves queer, they consider themselves in love.

When Ennis says "I'm not queer," and Jack says "me neither," don't you think they're in denial? Yes, they consider themselves in love, and maybe this is some sort of sappy, naive idealist notion, but isn't that what it's about? Loving who you will, regardless? And being *allowed* to do so without having to worry about what the rest of the world might think of -- and do to -- you? Their love transcends the artificiality of a label. "Labels are for cans."

You're simplifying far too much, I think.
