    I felt the same way about Capote. That just dragged for me. I went in thinking Capote was going to be great but wasn't all that impressed.

    Glad you liked it Andrew. It won some awards at what is the British equivalent of the Oscar over the weekend.

    If you haven't read this already, this talks about the entire story what it means and his view of what "I swear" means.... http://www.nybooks.com/articles/18712

    Wow. That's great news! I think the article is must reading for anyone who is skeptical of the subject matter.

    I thought it was pretty obvious what, "I swear" meant. Heath nailed the line and it really does mean a lot.

    The commercials go out of the their way to show all the male/female characters hugging and not one image of the men embracing so I would say it is definitely misleading advertising.

    Glad it made it into the Top 5. I didnt think that was going to happen but am happy it did.

    I think that is great that you brought that up because sometimes when you talk to people about the simularities they don't get that descrimination is the same no matter how you look at it.

    What's the last gay film that has been both good and received a lot of media attention? Philadelphia? Not really a gay film but a lead gay character.

    I wouldnt call my opinion Dim. That's what I got from it. He didnt have time for her at first. That changed later on.

    By the end of the film I think he is starting a relationship with his daughter but early on, I dont think he knew how or necessarily wanted a relationship with his daughter. The only relationship he wanted but knew he could not have was the one with Jack.

    I do! I think he knew what he wanted (Jack) but knew in "Reality" that he never could. If you see the way he treats his wife and other family members, they seem to be there for convenience not because he really wants them.

    while on the subject of Oscar nods, I certainly hope the Actress who played the daughter gets a nod. She was wonderful.

    Though I would like it to celebrate the success that Passion of the Christ did, I think it's only made about 16 million.

    Not at all. I think it's a wonderful film and a tragic love story and some really good performances.

    I thought of Same Time Next Year as well because the characters meet up every year or so.

    Hmmm. Could it be you are missing the point? These guys didnt know what they were experiencing. They could barely show emotional or physical love for their wives. You think they knew how to express it to a man?

    Sorry Blake. No penises. :) I think it got an R due to subject matter.

    Don't want to turn this tread into a coming out forum but my Dad told me I broke his soul. The irony of the situation is that he came out about 8 years later after my Mom died. Just goes to show you that sometimes if people react negatively to something, they may be hiding something themselves...

    'Brokeback' Wrangles Strong Numbers in Expansion by Brandon Gray December 18, 2005 In limited release, Brokeback Mountain saw another stampede of moviegoers in its second weekend, while there was no springtime for The Producers in its debut. Focus Features' cowboy love story lassoed...

    No, actually there isn't. That will be in the sequel.

    One of the cast I was impressed with, and I dont know her name, who played Ennis' daughter. She was another person who was a casualty of the loveless marriage he was involved with and she portrayed the hurt so well.

    Funny, I dont remember a mainstream movie recently that had a plot such as this. Making Love was more than 20 years ago and it did not have big name actors and there was a disclaimer before it. It's another step forward for films of this kind. Pricilla is about drag queens and has nowhere the...

    I guess Robert there are always those nay-sayers who are trying to discount how important the movie is and how much it made.
