"If Brokeback Mountain wasn't about gays, it would have been totally ignored!"
Durrr. Everyone knows I'm not the biggest fan of Brokeback Mountain. I gave a rather maniacal giggle of joy when Jack Nicholson announced "Crash...whoah." But well, the fact that Brokeback Mountain was a gay movie, but with every cliche of a straight romance, is the entire point of the movie. It's a genius concept...but the script is so stupid and over-the-top and it's so endlessly miserable with no payoff/catharsis at all (others will disagree, but that's how I feel.) that it doesn't work.
