President Bush on Brokeback Mountain and ranching

[kc456 0]

Bush was really caught off guard by the question.

Question :: You're a rancher. A lot of us here in Kansas are ranchers. I just wanted to get your opinion on Brokeback Mountain and if you had seen it yet... You would love it. You should check it out.

Bush :: I hadn't seen it. I would be glad to talk about ranchin' but I haven't seen the movie... I've heard about it... I hope you go.. you know.. heh, heh.. I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I was going to say... I hadn't seen it.

It's hilarious in print, but if you want to see it, here's a link to the video:

I don't really get what he meant by "I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I was going to say".

I love Dubya though, he's so cute.

It's funny, here at my work the guys joke about the movie, but when I told them I had seen it, they were all interested in what happened in the movie.

It really is a good movie, and it makes you think. Although for me watching the buttsecks was a bit disturbing; not my thing after all.

I heard it was just another a chick-flick love story. Of course with 2 guys versus guy/girl.

No one ever claimed he was a good, or even coherent, speaker.

A question for everyone: I've run into some people who think it's homophobic if you don't want to watch Brokeback. I don't want to watch it because it sounds chick-flicky in the sense that it's a drama and I bet there isn't much violence or comedy lol. If you don't want to watch it, what's your reason?

Yup. That's the sole reason I won't be seeing it.

Cowboys, Homosexuality,adultry! Geeeeeez what more would you want in a movie! whats next?

Not planning on watching it either. There are tons of movies I don't watch. Mostly the chick-flick type movies. This is just gonna be another one of them. And not watching this one doesn't make me a homophobic.

not interested at this point...

might want to rent it someday though... *shrug*

Ok, I have to say that I didn't think it is a chick-flicky movie at all! I went to see it on Sunday and did think it is very good. all the actors did a great job. Yes, I was uncomfortable a bit with the more intimate scenes as that is just how I was raised . . . but I try to stay a bit more open about letting people live their lives the way they want as long as it isn't hurting anyone else. And that is the point that someone else made . . . they did hurt other people!! wives, parents, friends . . . but it also hurt them.

I felt it was a very sad movie and I did cry at the end . . . so I guess you could think about it as being chick-flicky for that reason.

PS, beautiful scenery . . . makes you want to move to Wyoming! almost, LOL!!

PPS, I also make decisions not to see certain movies . . . the ones that usually blow up everything and shoot everyone to bits, .

It is a beautiful, sensitive film, and Ewen and I saw it in Edinburgh. We both loved it.

That said, I don't think not wanting to see it makes you homophobic, just as not seeing Monster's Ball doesn't make you racist. (But that's also a great movie. And Heath Ledger is in that, too!)

Remember Showgirls? It was X-rated and there was a bunch of hype. Nudity didn't make the movie any better. Gay won't make a movie better either. Good writing will.
