Bored By Brokeback Mountain = OMG YR SO STOOPID!!
This is my first time posting, and I couldn't resist pointing out a wank I found on the Godawful Fanfic Board:

http://godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24691

I guess you're only allowed to hate movies the great sheepdom hates. Apparently, disliking Brokeback Mountain makes you evil, stupid and intellectually disabled.

I just love this reply, for someone else who disliked the movie:


I think you need to get a little bit of a thicker skin, Fluffdevil. No one does what you're suggesting here. It's simply that if someone attacks a movie in a way that Kitana did, those that like the movie are bound to jump in and question their tactics. Had Kitana made a post that was similar in tone to yours (save for that last snotty and very immature final line you included), no one would be "attacking" anyone at all. Do you get it?


Because, as we all know, GAFF folks are well known for their reasonable, soft-spoken and kind attitudes towards a wide variety of subjects. When it comes to honest debate and discourse, GAFF outdoes St. Thomas Aquinas.

Of course, it all quickly disintegrates into people flaming the original poster for complaining about the cost of the movie--HOW DARE SHE BUY POPCORN!!! BUT POPCORN PAYS THE THEATRE WORKER'S WAGES!! WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST GO ON $5.50 TUESDAY!!!

Itty bitty wank...Great big bowl of popcorn...

I don't think being bored by Brokeback Mountain makes one evil, stupid and intellectually disabled, but I think that person's post does.

I was bored by that movie but, then again, I was bored by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Maybe I just hate Ang Lee.

I hear this argument all the time, and I just love it:

If this had been your usual love affair between male and female, it wouldn’t have stirred so much attention with the media.

I have to disagree: It would have garnered the same amount of attention, but every single headline would have read ANG LEE MAKES HETERO ROMANCE FILM THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING SENSE. Saying that people only like BBM for the gay is not only short-sighted and insulting to the filmmakers and the movie's fans, but it's also a completely nonsensical argument. It's like claiming that Schindler's List wouldn't have won its Oscars if it weren't about the Holocaust. Well, duh, because then it would have been three and a half hours of Jews working in a cookware factory. Boooring.

Kitana is wanky through and through the thread. Not because she didn't like the movie, but because she was so damn adamant about hating it even when people pointed out several things she missed when she wasn't paying attention.

As for buying theatre food that upped the cost of her experience to $40, her choice.

And, personally, I am not paying four bucks for a goddamn soda.

Eh, I thought the OP was the worst wanker of the lot myself. Her original post was obnoxious and didn't make any real points, was about as bad on grammar and punctuation as your average SugarHigh!fic, and she pitched a fit anytime people tried to disagree with her.

I, too, thought Brokeback was boring. BUT DO YOU SEE ME FORCING MY UNPOPULAR OPINION AT PEOPLE?

Maybe.

I think you need to get a little bit of a thicker skin, Fluffdevil.

This is one of the greatest sentences in the English language.

What's the big deal? I thought all indie films were about gay cowboys eating pudding.

*points and laughs at the OP, because she doesn't feel like getting indinant over the movie right now*

This wank makes me really glad that the awesome indy thearter neat my house only charges two bucks for candy. I can see a movie WITH food for only 8/10 dollars, depending on the time of day. Joy!

You know, a lot of critically acclaimed movies feature characters who do morally questionable things. Hell, adultery is a staple of HBO's dramatic line-up, and no one needs to be gay for their shows to graba wards.

I just want them to stop using the Shawshank Redemption score in Brokeback Mountain trailers. I swear these trailers are on every cable channel every five minutes, and every single time they come on, I'm cued to have warmfuzzy thoughts of how much I love Shawshank, only to hear for the bazillionth time how "groundbreaking" BBM is (*beats random strangers with copies of Maurice*) and blah blah "cinema history." It's very confusing for me to swing from love to hate at that velocity, and I'm not that quick with the mute button while I'm busy torturing Sims.

Gotta love the healthy expressions and opinions posted throughout this entire thread by everyone. Though even better was how catty Kitana got over the price when somebody told her to eat before she went :\

Hurrah for mini-wank.

I haven't seen Brokeback yet. I wanted to, but when movies are as hyped as Brokeback has been it tends to put me off. That, and my local movie theatre doesn't seem to like screening intelligent movies (they're STILL showing GoF, but no Brokeback or Memoirs of a Geisha). And I just know that if/when I do see this film it won't live up to the hype for me. I like my slash, but I'm not feeling the hype for OMG gay cowboys zmorg11111!".

I passed up seeing Brokeback for Capote, and damn, am I glad.

I haven't seen the film because I'm waiting for the DVD; I loved the book but had doubts about the casting as I'd always seen older guys in the roles. (Okay, I'll fess up, I always visualised Tommy Lee Jones and Richard Dean Anderson!)

*However* someone in the discussion above made reference to 'wives' and in the book only one of the characters was married. Do they actually both have wives in the film? If so, interesting choice.

As for Ang Lee, he's made some films I don't care for so he's definitely not perfect, but on the other hand he also made 'Sense and Sensibility'. I'm prepared to cut the man who did *that* a great deal of slack. Whether 'Brokeback Mountain' is a mistake or not I can't judge until I've seen it, but if it is I reckon he's in credit enough to be allowed one!

(And yes, I know other people like BbM, but popular opinion isn't enough for me in this case; I want to decide for myself.)
