[Jimmy]

has heath ledger n jake gyllenhall in it...saw it tonight (the missus made me) but its actually ok if you take out all the gay love (probably could have been done without seeing that) but those blokes played good parts...

is it being advertised down there?

probably win an oscar or two...it is a good story

[MightyEagles]

How long does the movie go for?

[Magpiespower]

Ummm...but Jimmy, if you took out the gay love...there wouldn't be a film!

A real buzz surrounding this film, directed by Ang Lee and based on an Annie Proulx novellete.

Looking forward to seeing it.

I'm sure spell_check is too.

I've only just seen this comment - what makes you say that?

I've only just seen this comment - what makes you say that?

Probably has something to do with some homophobic comments made in a thread on Big Footy.

Unless, of course, it was a different spell_check.

[spell_check]

Ah yes. That word that made up PCers who try to make people look stupid.

I thought you saw the comment that judging by the lack of responses to it, people interpreted it wrong. But it wasn't that one, then.

"Play on"

I simply said, if they so much as hold hands I am out the door

Out the back door? Or were you scared you might enjoy the movie, especially the homo-erotic encounters??

[Magpiespower]

Play on!

[Punk Rooster]

Just a question... if the 2 cowboys in the movie didn't use protection, would the film've been called "Bareback Mountain"?

[Pseudo]

I still wanna know: at any point do the gay cowboys eat pudding?

[Booney]

I saw in todays paper that Willie Nelson had released a new single,in response to the Jump-my-back Mountain movie,its titled,"Cowboys are frequently,secretly(fond of each other)".

LMFAO

[Coorong]

Now my wife is trying to tell me THE DUKE was gay. as if..................

[Jimmy]

I still wanna know: at any point do the gay cowboys eat pudding?

LOL!!!!!!

and the answer is no!

love the SP reference

[Magpiespower]

The only real love scene you see between Heath and Jake is virtually a fight.

I take it nobody has seen Midnight Cowboy then?

The Gayest Cowboy Movies Ever, All About That Magic Lion - and a Geisha's Open Kimono of Truth

If we've learned anything from Brokeback Mountain, it's that life on the range can get lonely. And cold. And, well, hot, provided the hot you like is of the man-on-man, Heath Ledger-on-Jake Gyllenhaal sort. But Ang Lee's stirring adaptation of E. Annie Proulx's prize-winning short story isn't the first western to tackle homosexuality. There's a campfire of man love burning in several paragons of the genre; you just have to dig a little to find the still-hot coals. We did the work for you.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
They smirk. They wink. They share knowing glances. They complete each other's actions, sentences and thoughts. They die together in a hail of bullets, each clutching the other in a lambada of forbidden love. And let's be honest, even a straight man would have sex with either Robert Redford or Paul Newman if the situation were right.

Signature quote: "My, we seem to be a little short on brotherly love round here."

Young Guns
There is something bedeviling in the way Lou Diamond Phillips looks at Emilio Estevez in this Brat Pack retelling of Billy the Kid's life and times. As Billy the Kid (Estevez) and the rest of his Regulators succumb to the effects of José Chavez y Chavez's (Phillips) peyote, there is a moment of grace between the two men, a moment in which all the murder, carnage and the overacting of Kiefer Sutherland get lost in the milky ether. They don't kiss in the real world, but, as the movie clearly points out, things happen in the spirit world common man simply is not privy to.

Signature quote: "If we're caught, we're gonna hang...But there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip."

The Outlaw Josey Wales
Clint Eastwood's portrayal of Josey Wales, as a man possessed by revenge and a bloodthirst for justice, may well be the most subtle "coming out" story in the history of film. There exists in Wales an existential angst that can only come from a hidden secret (yes, his entire family was slaughtered, a man he trusted turned coat on him and his side has lost the war, but let's never mind that): What really happened during those long, silent nights in the woods with his young "friend" Jamie? Along the road to vengeance, doesn't Wales, in fact, realize his truest love can never be claimed? Doesn't he become an outlaw in order to kill that which he has always desired--the touch of another, another just like him? Doesn't he?

Signature quote: "I rode with him...and I got no complaints."

The Wild Bunch
Sam Peckinpah called his film a "simple story about bad men in changing times." A corollary might have been "What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico." If you discount the violence, the presence of Ernest Borgnine and the sheer lack of substantial women, The Wild Bunch is almost exactly like a Harlequin romance, albeit for gay men. The men open in battle for each other, fight to keep each other alive and die, finally, in each other's embrace, the tenuous bond of desire between the movie's star, William Holden, and the obvious femme fatale, Borgnine, as solid and deep as a tongue kiss from George Michael.

Signature quote: "When you side with a man, you stay with him."

The Alamo
No man looks right in a coonskin hat, unless he's tripping the light fantastic in his underwear, his body covered in glitter, Donna Summer bleating through the speakers--all of which makes John Wayne's portrayal of Davy Crockett in this epic circumspect from the start. But when Richard Widmark shows up as Jim Bowie, the raccoon on Wayne's head does seem to brighten up a bit. And when that yummy Frankie Avalon enters, well, let's just say the hat on Wayne's head isn't the only thing that sticks out. Love conquers all in this film except, of course, those pesky Mexicans.

Signature quote: "You don't get lard unless you boil the hog!"

All that indepth analysis MP, Jeez, I though the DaVinci Code cluthched at some straws and drew some very long bows. Cant agree with you though.

Given that, quite a surprising post for a "Port Supporter". An eductaed one. LOL
