Bareback Mountain

Is that a volcanic eruption in the background?

Love should know no bounds, anyone who has seen my rants in the past will know... but being a Southpark fan, I can't help but ask...

"Is there pudding?"

[Sai'nu]

/grin

So, which one will say, "I love you, man!" first?

Cartman would probably say... nevermind, I wouldn't want to get modded.

All I have to ask are two questions.

So they want to make a mainstream Hollywood film about two men that have a closet, homosexual relationship. They grow up, have heterosexual lives and then later in life come back to their homosexual urges. That's fine.

1. Did they need to make it a cowboy movie too? Was there such a shortage of gay cowboy movies that they really felt there was a void?

2. Why call the film Brokeback Mountain? Why give it such an obvious innuendo inciting title? Did anyone even notice my change of the title in the link?

[warsloth]

so you are saying they are re-doing the movie Alexander, only setting it with cowboys in modern times???

and yes, I immediatley noticed the link, even though I didn't visit it.

[Sai'nu]

Oh, I noticed, just didn't want to say anything.

[Jaminos]

Well I thought at the begining it looked good, I have always liked cowboy movies but this really rubbed me in the wrong places.

Now I am not going tostart any arguments it is just a movie about somthing I do not approve of. If anyone wants to talk to me about my views feel free to PM me and you can rant me there.

All I am saying is that that disapointed me.

Well the writer (Annie Proulx) that wrote the short story named it Brokeback Mountain, not Ang Lee or the producers. Ang Lee has an interest in both the rustic aspect of Americana, see his Civil War flick Ride with the Devil, as well as stories of love in non-traditional forms, see his great flick the Wedding Banquet Except for the Hulk I have generally really like his movies, CTHD, Wedding Banquet, Ice Storm, and Sense and Sensibility.

I would expect he will do a very nice job with this since their are no CGI gamma irradiated folk bounding about, and as an avid spectator of cute girlsm especially those scantily clad, I have heard that Anne Hathaway has a topless scene in this movie. Would be her second movie in a row showing the goods after making her name in the Princess Diaries.
I am not big on western period pieces unless there is gunplay involved, but I will still give Ang Lee a chance based on his previous body of work.


Zzzzzz

This is without a doubt the funniest thing you've ever written, intentional or no.

The guy falls off his horse twice in the preview. No wonder his back is broke.

Yep, we need another mainstram movie about a video game
There are no voids left in hollywood, they have been filled in several times over with remakes and remakes of the remakes. Instead of making TV series from movies, we have come full circle and are making Movies from TV Series... Gilligan's Island, Dukes of Hazzard..

So a movie about Gay Cowboys is probably the most original production we've seen and we will see in a while.

Well, as Zyre pointed out, it's the title of short story the movie was based on just like "The Minority Report" and "Paycheck" are the titles or the short stories written by Philip K Dick that their respective movies were based on.

But change the title because someone can see an innuendo? What title can you change it to and still keep it relative to the context of the film and *not* have someone see and innuendo?

That is also assuming there is a need to change the title because the producers didn't want one.. and that the title has no significant meaning in the story so a change makes sense.... and that the terms that they have signed with the author allows them to do so.

Are you sure they weren't written by Philip McCrevase?

LOL

See, even on something totally unrelated someone has seen an innuendo.

I'll see the film and in the back of my mind, I'll be looking for a referance to pudding. There are scenes of married life in the movie, maybe there is one in the kitchen where they casually open a cabinet and there on the shelf, a box of Jello pudding.

Not everything is caught by the editors. I caught part of Apollo 13 on the History channel. It was the scene where they were passing around the moon and over their landing spot. They showed a flash of the moon's surface and I could swear, in the lower right, there was a word or initals created by a ridge and the shadows.

[Sai'nu]

There's always room for Jell-O!

Pudding pops that is!

This does remind me though... there go my ideas on Barebounty Transport!

Two mandalorians shrug off their love for each other to wage war and are later reunited after believing the other dead for years. When their luxury liner is hijacked by spacers they must work 'very closely' together to get this job done... er, stop the hijackers!
