I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy. Well I see by YOUR outfit that your a Cowboy too!


I can enjoy films.
I have enjoyed films.
I can say that I actually have loved a film or two.
Does that mean that I must have really enjoyed BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN?

Hell no.
It was weak on story. The characters were spineless and could not fight for what they wanted. Everyone in the film gives up. Not one person is strong enough to stand up for what they want. When someone does stand up for what they want they back down as soon as they realize they want it. I did cry at the end. That goddamn shirt. How convenient it was in his “childhood” room. It was so unbelievable I was thinking it was the “other” guys imagination. Perhaps the shirt wasn’t real. An imagined memento. It still got to me. Forgive me if you love this film. I don’t want to take anything away from the film you imagined you saw. This was not ground breaking. This was a timely release. Along with the flood of other gay friendly entertainment. I can almost say with certainty that gay cinema has a resurgence every 7 to 8 years. The cowboy movie also seems to have that pattern. Perhaps this indeed was the year to combine them both.

Don’t get me wrong I didn’t hate the film…
I just think if there was a story it would have been better.

Now let me tell you that going to the movies for me is not a pleasant experience. My damn knees start hurting about 1 hour into the film EVERYTIME! It has something to do with the height of a theater chair. My legs cramp up. So I have to take that into consideration when I see a movie at a theater. Will this movie be good enough to distract me from the pain?
After the first sex scene I wasn’t so much aware of my leg pain as I was of the 7 year old kid to my left with his mom and baseball cap wearing fat-ass mouthbreathing roundfaced dad. I don’t think they knew what this film was about. I tried to look at them after that scene but couldn’t’ do it without causing a ruckus.
Who the fuck in their right mind would take their 7 year old son to a movie… ok so the MATRIX is not much better but… come on!

I cant wait for the porn knock off title…

Bareback Mount Him.
Come on… you know you were thinking it.
