I haven't seen it because honestly, I don't want to watch a movie where two guys are getting it on

Does that make me homophobic? No, it just means I don't want to watch two guys have sex

Oh...so it just shows two guys necking really hard, I see. So is that supposed to make me wanna see it?? No thanks.

Christ, you all make it sound like it is a gay bit of pornography or something. It isn't. In fact it has a lot less sex then some of the crap that Hollywood produces, the kind of films where at some point the producer has gone "hey, our film sucks, lets shoehorn some sex in and maybe they won't notice."

If you don't like romance chances are you wouldn't like it - not because of the gay aspect, but because it is romance. But it seems more then a little juvenile to say "I won't see it because because the gay sex might make me sick." Especially as you don't really see anything - it made me laugh that in some places people had to emphasise how "tasteful" it was so people wouldn't get all tied up thinking "oh my God - a gay romance. Clearly it will be wall to wall Gay erotica."

It is as if some people out there think gay people are unable to have a romantic story of filmatic quality and up there with the great straight romance films. Oh wait.... there are people like that. Carry on.

you guys really consider Brokeback Mountain a romance film? I always viewed it as a tragedy........

Well, it's a tragic romance. Star-crossed lovers.... hmm

Yeah, thats really common. Two recent examples of that I can think of are Underworld 2 and Miami Vice.

Two dudes kissing aren't gonna make me lose my lunch; I'd just rather not see it. (that shouldn't be too hard to understand)

Exactly.

Not saying it would (that was more to do with what one of the others posters said) but I was, in part, getting at the fact it isn't just "two dudes kissing" for the entire run time. There is kind of a movie going on at the same time. And I don't think there would be that many people who would want to see it for that reason alone. But it seems like there are more then a few people who don't want to see it for that reason.

I mean sure - bad acting, boring, bad direction, little plot, terrible plot, awful special effects etc - I can accept such reasons for disliking a movie, or avoiding it. But some of the reasons I have heard when it comes to Brokeback Mountain are just strange.

I was just misinformed on the movie. I was told there was a scene where they're in a tent making out and Heath flips Jake over and starts ramming his ass. I don't really like anal, male on male, or male on female. It makes my butt hole hurt. Kinda like seeing another guy getting kicked in the balls.

Plus, I may not be all "GH3N355 15 3V1L!" I don't care what people do behind closed doors. But yea...keep it behind closed doors. And its not like I'm "AHHH TEH COK!!!" cuz I watch hetero porn. But now I feel like I'm having to defend myself, so I'll just leave it at that.

Your "keep it behind closed doors" applies to both homosexuality and heterosexuality, correct?

If they wanted to make up for Underworld 2, they'd have had to put a lot more than one sex scene in there 🤨

Don't say that, it'll give them ideas for a third, which I can't help but imagine them calling "Underwear 3: The Sexing." Or something.

😂 There's already plans for a third. I don't think that's the subtitle they're looking for though

To a degree. I don't care for public displays of affection. A quick kiss when meeting or leaving is ok, even when gays or lesbians do it. I hate deep kissing though when you're around other people. I just get weirded out by it.

But its not like my sexual growth is stunted or anything. I still watch porn and all that. I'm just not down with PDAs of the nature I described and not down with anal, or any kind of porn that looks painful for that matter.

Forget Brokeback Mountain. Before it came out, the closest thing to that issue was The Crying Game, which I can honestly say was one of the best movies (IMO) in the last 15 years. For years, anytime the film's title was mentioned, everyone screamed bloody murder and asked everyone if they threw up during the infamous scene. Yes, I didn't particularly care for seeing that dude's schlong, but it didn't ruin the movie, and considering it had a heavy gay undertone, it hardly deterred from its credibility one iota.

I haven't seen Kings of Scotland, but Forrest Whitaker gave an Oscar-caliber performance in The Crying Game.

Yeah, so is Romeo and Juliet...and it bore the hell out of me.

Don't forget Philadelphia.

Kinda, generally, different, approach and stuff. Though gay men in that. Indeed.

Of course, giving is where it's at. It supports this in the Bible and I am very generous. I also love my fellow man very deeply.
