Brokeback mountain - who else hated it?

[Tred.Mill]

Wow... i just watched this movie on the weekend, and all i have to say is... thank god i didn't pay to see this piece of crap...

i realize a lot of people really did like the movie, but i'm just looking for affirmation from others who else DID NOT like the movie... i dont' care if you liked it... i just want to know who thought it was uber lame also

some ISSUES i had with the movie:

1. what's up w/ heath ledger's accent? I couldn't understand have the stuff he was saying... sounded like he had a speech inpediment rather than a southern accent??? the dude never moved his lips when he talked

2. too much random shots of nudity... like early on when jack is looking all serious and in the background ennis is naked and changing... or the random shot of jack naked by the river washing his clothes.... wtf?

3. ending? or lack there of? what the hell? nothign happened at the end

4. ang lee needs to stop trying to make artsy fartsy flicks... like he did w/ CTHD... yes, we all like nice wide angle shots of magnificent mountains and what not... but at least have a story to go along w/ it... most of the people who i've talked to that like the movie all say... yes... great cinematography and music... story's alright

5. gay cowboys (maybe that's why there aren't cowbosy anymore)

there was much more comments i had during the movie... but all in all.. i foudn it to be very disappointing... i was ok w/ the gay scenes... but the rest of it... after it finished i just felt like there was so much more to the story that could've been told

there's my rant

Incase anyone asks. Yes, if you watched this movie it means you're gay.

You mean you Hated It...
like these guys?

I rated it *** of ***** - liked it, didn't love it.

But I suspect anyone who outright hated this movie, either isn't a fan of romance movies (eg: Titanic, The Notebook, etc.) or is one of the hardcore gay hatin' conservatives who can't seem to restrain themselves by pokin' their noses into other peoples lives...

People like it and blow it out of proportion because they like sounding politically correct.

What are your top 5 movies this past year then? Maybe it isn't your style?

I wonder if Tred.Mill posts a thread for every movie he hates, or if it's just because of what this particular movie is about.

perhaps you should spend a little bit more time researching the movies that you attend so that we don't have to listen to you b!tching about what kind of movies Ang Lee should be making. Might I suggest Rotten Tomatoes That way you can get your synopsis before your manliness is threatened by attending such movies!

i liked it, and political correctness had nothing to do with it. your crass generalization is blatantly false.

it's about as correct as saying anyone who disliked the film is really just a closet redneck, ignorant and homophobic.

2. too much random shots of nudity...

That is never a complaint I've ever had about a film - mind you, I'd prefer it to be someone like Nicole Kidman or Jessica Alba...
