This film has managed to nab itself 7 Golden Globe noms...
Best Picture, Best Director (Ang Lee), Best Actor (Ledger), Best Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams), Best Screenplay (Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana), Best Score (Gustavo Santaolalla), Best Song ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old"😉.
Maybe I should check this one out...

It's expanding to twenty-some more cities Friday. A reader at my site compiled a list of most of the theaters in the various cities, here: http://blogs.salon.com/0001137/stories/2005/12/13/brokebackMountainTheaters.html
If not your town, then you'll probably have to wait till Jan 6, or even later. I completes its rollout in Feb. Where do you live?
Hmmmm, gay storyline or not, 7 golden Globe noms has given me enough reasons to go watch it.
Yet another perfect example of a young actor embracing a seemingly "out of character" and making it their own and thus showing their true talent. Does names like Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron ring a bell anyone??
But I doubt many people here will go watch it, cause of the misconception of it being a homosexual related story--- particularly with men. While we wait for the rest of the world to grow up, dont let prejudice stop you from looking at a fine film.

Oh good. I thought it was one of those "this movie is too good for theaters that aren't posh!" movies....

I don't understand why it's considered a "out of character" role to play a homosexual.
I mean, jesus, when a person plays a WWII veteran or a UN worker, nobody blinks. But when someone plays a gay man everyone's like "he's SO brave. Such a challenging role!" What so challenging about it? Is it that hard for a straight guy to kiss another guy. From interviews, apparently they had to "prepare" themselves mentally for kissing....
I have no interest in seeing it as it looks kinda boring and uh... gay 😄 .
I heard it got great reviews and it either got A's or F's, so either you love i, or you're a homophobe.
The thing about man/man movie and woman/woman movies is that when it's about two guys, people take it seriously and it's dramatic and romantic. When it's to "chicks" it's usually a gimmick to "get male viewers to watch." And of course there's always some 14 year old boy going "WWWOOOOOOO! Yeah, baby!" in the theatre everytime they engage in "hot girl on girl action." Thus, women think we men are pigs. Yet I see these girls saying "Two hot guys having sex? I'm game!" WHAT?!?!? So lemme get this straight... when girls wanna see gay guys have sex it's fine, but when guys wanna see girls have sex it's perverted?
Of course, this is absolutly true, except for the fact that women these days are tending to be equally perverted, yet no one cares.
What I need is an epic love story of two women without it being to th point of softcore pr0n and instead of the "girl/girl action" being the gimmick to get guys to watch and replace the gimmick with violence! Becuase God knows I won't so much as look at the movie poster of a movie unless someone gets shot/stabbed/slashed/blown up/etc. Of course the movie should be well directed and acted with a great story.
Sorry about all that, I kinda had to get that off my chest... 😕

To be completely honest. I'd prefer watching a QT film, over watching Girl on Girl action in the theater. I mean, I can do that at home. I don't need to pay for a ticket to do so.

Word, I can jerk off to lesbian internet porn whenever I want, but seeing a Tarantino film in theatre is something that has to be done.

I am so excited about seeing this, although I just found out my local cinema will not be carrying it 😐
And it's a huge cinema with like 24 screens, butit's to do with content or something 😬
the content isnt even that bad... there are movies with worse content than this movie... there wasnt much "love" scenes - it was all in good taste... it was a good love story 🙂
