This whole Brokeback Mountain thing is just rediculous. Where's the pudding?

What bothers me isn't the content, it's that Ang Lee's going to get alot of awards out of taking a easy script...and people will *assume* that he's a a good director only for him to pop out another crappy movie...like Hulk...

Brokeback mountain could be the best movie ever produced, but it didn't deserve any of the awards it got for two reasons:
One, It got awards to be PC. "Gay cowboys? WOW! We gotta give that some glitter or Frisco's gonna throw a hissy fit!"
Two: It's only been out like...TWO Months, MAX.

I'm always annoyed when a straight actor plays a gay character and is automatically given that much more praise for the performance because they're so "different" from the character. They're ACTORS. It's their damn JOB to get inside the skin of a character and bring it to life and the casting director's job to find the right performer for the role. John Lone has never gotten fallen all over for playing straight men. Alan Rickman, who works tirelessly for Amnesty International, didn't get a nomination for playing a sadistic political interrogator in Closet Land. How much more "different" can either get?

Oddly enough, Brokeback Mountain has gotten praise from a number of very conservative reviewers like Christianity Today. But there's still no pudding. :angry:

Post by: B E C K on Jan 19, 2006, 09:53:18 PM: Eh, I've never seen the big deal with awards shows. It's just another event where people are rewarded for popularity instead of objectively on skill. I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, but even if it is the best movie of the year, I highly doubt when I do see it that it'll live up to half of the damn hype. "OMG, there were never gay cowboys before."

And her name's "Geena Davis", with two e's.
