Wife made me watch Brokeback. Would watch it again. Maybe. It deserved the Best Picture. It lost to Crash, which was entertaining and I enjoyed it, but it was silly and the Academy should have seen right through it.

Brokeback had one gay sex scene, and it wasn’t that bad. (I don’t enjoy any sex scenes in movies. Except in Requiem For a Dream, those were awesome.) It had more for straight people. Oh and the film was gorgeous. If you enjoy watching movies, you should see it.

I’ll just hover for that extra second to make the algorithm sweat just a moment.

I tried to make a funny comment, and I thought I was being inclusive enough, but I wasnt inclusive enough. Shame on me... You'll have to wonder what it said.

Equating ‘normal’ with straight and blaming homophobia on closeted queers is gonna get a big hmmm from me.

Were 70% of Americans gay in the 90s when only 30% supported gay marriage?

Oh no, I accidentally clicked on it.

I guess I'm settling in for this dark romance fully of 10/10 hotties... so the Algorithm doesn't suspect anything.

It lost to Crash

Oscar judges should have all been fired, disbarred, deported, and smothered with a stack of better movies for that one.

Were 70% of Americans gay in the 90s when only 30% supported gay marriage?

100% of Americans are gay. Most just haven't met the right partner yet.

For anyone that's never seen it, you're missing out. Gyllenhaal and Ledger turned in masterpiece performances, any actor doing half that good in any role should be proud.

Hathaway and Williams in their supporting roles also killed it. Williams, I think it was her best in movies (though she did some tv work that wasn't supporting where she shines more. Check out the "if walls could talk" duo of TV movies, or whatever it exactly was named. I can't remember the title perfectly of the two, but I remember her performance in it).

Hell, even Quaid managed to turn in a serious performance that didn't disrupt the feel.

And the fucking... cinematography (sorry, couldn't resist) was just breathtaking, even on the old crt TV we used to have when we watched it on VHS. That's saying a lot about how perfectly filmed it was.

No bullshit, no more jokes, it's a movie everyone should see once just to see film making at its peak

Yeah I don't care. You're welcome to rewrite the joke to be maximally inclusive but it won't be funny anymore

What’s the punchline?

That a closeted homophobe would scroll quickly as opposed to scrolling normally. What's the goal here? Have you ever heard "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good"? That's also what OPs post implies and I meant it the same way. Are we defending homophobes now too btw?

Love to see the "surviving the closet" section of the internet make the front page
