If you haven't already, go watch the unrated cut of "Havoc."

Thank you for letting me know. I think Hathaway is one of the hottest girls around.

Well, i have no interest in seeing the movie. The homosexuality is pretty much the turnoff.

Would you watch it it were 2 women?

Of course I would, wouldn't you?

Depends on the movie. If I only wanted to watch two women go after it, then I'd just go straight for the knockout and get an all-girl porno.

He says you spooned him. Which one of you do I believe?

they were facing each other so they are both telling the truth. Clay likes to stare into the other persons eyes when he spoons.

So wrong.

I don't know about this movie. I'll be honest...I'm not the most open minded person, so i don't think I'd go see it, but I hope it does win some awards because I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Re: Brokeback Mountain

I'm not going to address the whole "larger issues debate going on here. Done to death. I think the original poster was looking for some feedback on the film itself, and I might be the only one to provide it.

This was an EXCELLENT film. Great acting, great characters, excellent cinematography. Honestly, the film might seem like a gimmick if the performance and screenplay didn't "sell it" so damn well.

And I don't want to spoil the film for anyone, but the "cheating" is motivated well, not made lightweight or superficial like in other romance films.

And let me be clear, "chick flicks/romances" are NOT my cup of tea either. However, that doesn't mean I avoid them entirely, I DO appreciate a well made, well-acted, substantial portrayal of a relationship. This film fulfills that. I think anyone who gives it a fair shot will be surprised.

We're going to end this thread on this post because it finally got back on topic.

Bottom line is that a movie can be about poisoning unsuspecting goats in Nebraska and still be a well made, beautifully shot, wonderfully acted movie. And a well made, beautifully shot, wonderfully acted movie can also go unseen if the plot doesn't interest you.

Thanks you (MOST) for staying somewhat civil.
