I saw Brokeback Mountain

[koolmoe]

Wow. Great movie. Heath Ledger will likely win an Oscar for his performance.

Ang Lee did a wonderful job of directing. The feeling of loneliness that is conveyed by the actors, sets, and cinematography is truly haunting.

The subject matter will be uncomfortable for most men. I thought it wouldn't bother me at all, but I was definitely not in my comfort zone during some of the scenes...

[Rondavu]

I have no interest in seeing two men pork one another. Call me old fashioned. Call me a homophobe. They don't make movies about people who enjoy being pissed on. They don't have a movie called "Dirty Sanchez Goes to the Post Office" There's a reason for it. Some things should be kept to yourself, and chocolate hunting is one of those things. I don't care how many gay pride parades, or rainbow bumper stickers invade culture. It's a fetish, and always will be. I'm not going to hump my hamster and submit a screenplay about it.

I know this will come off as totally insensitive and innapropriate, so I must say that I have gay friends, and I even attended a gay wedding two weeks ago. I'm not a gay basher. I don't hate gay people. You have to accept it for what is is though. It's two people of the same sex performing procreational acts that come up empty over and over again.

Larry David always cracks me up.

[Rondavu]

And gay guys always seem like they're having a great time. At the Christmas party I went to, they were the only ones who sang. Boy that looked like fun. I would love to sing, but this weighty, self-conscious heterosexuality I'm saddled with won't permit it.

Bwahaha

I don't understand your argument. Have you impregnated your partner every time you've had sex? Isn't there more to a (hetero)sexual relationship than procreation?

I'm not gay, and I don't really care to debate the moral implications of homosexuality. I just thought the movie (from a filmmaking standpoint) was extremely well done. The theme of loneliness and detachment was impactful and resonated with me. I imagine that it is a common feeling among those on the fringes of mainstream society.

I understand that subject matter is a big issue with most people. I don't care for the subject matter of movies like Hostel, but that doesn't stop them from being made and enjoyed by many. Too each his own, I guess.

I was only half serious when I said this. I'm really not religious enough to believe in sex only for the sake of procreation. I just don't agree with sticking your junk in odd places such as fences, ripped pillow cases, between two balloons. Of all the absurd places to stick your junk however, I'd have to say inbetween another mans asscheeks is definately one of the craziest. Hey, if you wanna do it, and the other guy agrees to it, then have a party. I say just don't throw it in everyone's face and declare it normal. It's not even close to normal.I was only half serious when I said this. I'm really not religious enough to believe in sex only for the sake of procreation.

{note from chardrian} - I mistakenly edited this post rather than quoted it - I have tried my best to correct my screw up, but this may not be exactly how this post originally appeared. See my apologies below.

[cardsman1992]

Religions that believe in sex solely for the sake of procreation are borderline cults and don't understand what God intended by sex. But that's a discussion far too deep for a poker forum....

Yes it is. Thank you for abstaining.

[Eric]

They've been talking about it on the radio up here. I haven't seen it yet.

[cardsman1992]

You're welcome EricE. Time and place for everything. This is neither....

Whoops

As many of you may already know, I am a total computer retard.

I just committed what is equivalent to Laelin's misclick all-in with 8T os preflop in this thread.

I meant to quote Rondavu and instead hit the edit button (which I have due to my moderating the Beginner's Circle).

I am such a retard that I don't know how to fix it correctly.

But here is what Rondavu's response right after Koolmoe's really was:

I apologize to Rondavu for (mistakenly) hijacking his response and to everyone else for being such a tard.

[DaNutsInYoEye]

the only way I'll buy a guy's argument that homosexuality is totally crazy is if he believes that receiving handjobs, blowjobs, or having anal sex is crazy.

Homosexuality isn't solely about one's sexual practices.

[chardrian]

That was me who wrote that - not Rondavu - man I really am retarded.

Ok back to me disagreeing with Rondavu instead of mistakenly censoring what he said...

I only buy this argument that homsexuality is crazy or abnormal if you think that any sexual practices except for straight up penis/vagina intercourse is normal. Otherwise your issues are coming from something else.

[bencathers]

I enjoy how everyone who had a negative/neutral comment on this issue (the posters, Larry David, etc etc) quickly followed it up by saying they have gay friends / are gay friendly... just my commentary

[Trikflow77]

i saw it and thought it blew dead bears.......that movie was like a chick flick love story with gay men........."why cant i quit you".....uggggghhh

[Greedo017]

my girlfriend saw it and thought it was pretty bad. she didn't like the story, she couldn't understand what heath ledger said for the whole first half of the movie, etc etc. i personally don't plan on seeing it.

[DoGGz]

Who are you to tell people what they can and can't make movies about? Don't like it? Don't go see it.

[mcatdog]

I rented this a month ago not expecting to like it much, but as it turned out, I thought it was terrific.

[Renton]

im pretty big on films, and i have a pretty open mind about gayity. FWIW, six feet under is one of my favorite tv shows, and one of the main facets of that story is a gay relationship.

That said, I didn't really like BM (LOL, BM WTF). It was an ok film, but i didn't think it was really that great.

[WillburForce]

Renton, with that pic for your avatar i'd have guessed this would be your fav film....

LOL BM. Only thing I could think of was Bowel Movement. Which strangely fits the subject matter of this thread disgustingly well.

if you don't have a girlfriend, just use your own fingers
