Mounting a Broke Back

  • John Hawkins at Right Wing News
  • has great take on why he won't see Broke Back Mountain. If it is such a hit, why is it #15 after 9 weeks?

    1) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: $285.5M
    2) The Chronicles of Narnia: $271.9 M
    3) King Kong: $209.9M
    4) Polar Express: $173.6M
    5) Chicken Little: $133.4M
    6) Walk the Line: $102.1M
    7) Fun with Dick and Jane: $101.4M
    8) Flightplan: $89.5M
    9) Cheaper by The Dozen 2: $78.1M
    10) The Family Stone: $58.6
    11) Yours, Mine, & Ours: $52.6
    12) Memoirs of a Geisha: $51.2M
    13) Syriana: $45.4M
    14) Hostel: $42.7M

    I like this excerpt:

    Maybe if the gay cowboys were secretly ninjas sworn to avenge their masters or kill crazy ex-seals out to stop a team of Al-Qaeda terrorists from blowing up school buses full of kids, it might be a movie that could appeal to most guys -- assuming they didn't touchy-feely and start grabbing each other like the Hobbits did at the end of "Return of the King."

    I like the comment on his site:

    The Arab version: Behead Mountain

    and.....

    I heard the queer movie gave the expression "Saddle Sore" a whole new meaning.

    I do sincerely hope that PETA protected the sheep all the time while the movie was being shot and those "cowboys" did not ride them bare back (I mean the sheep not the PETA folks).
