How About A Nice Warm Sheep!?

The BBC showed a news report on “Brokeback Mountain” that was less than the ecstatic rave it has been getting in the American media.

They interviewed some non-gay cowboys who didn’t appear to be universally enthusiastic about going to see the film.

This reinforces what this writer has all along maintained, that “Brokeback Mountain,” despite all the raves it is receiving from certain circles in LA and New York, will eventually be exposed as an emperor with no clothes.

People will soon be scratching their heads and asking what all the fuss was about. When all the pro-gay propaganda settles, “Brokeback Mountain” will be revealed as a tiny cult film with less mass appeal than “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and the public will rise up in anger at having been exploited like P.T. Barnum’s proverbial suckers.

I am not going to bat for Middle American sensibilities on this issue. I have always believed in smashing idols. You want to make a gay cowboy movie? Be my guest!

What eats me up is this huge moralistic push by gay intellectuals to enforce their point of view on a witless, unwilling public. Like making us take a spoonful of castor oil, not because they believe it would be good for us, but because they believe it would be good for THEM.

I would not pay ten bucks to see this turkey. I would really rather see “King Kong.” But just from the blurbs I have been seeing on TV, the film looks not entertaining, but painful.
