Truth in advertising

If they want to make another big budget gay movie, they ought to just call it:

Gay movie! We've finally made it!
Don't dupe people into watching some dang cowboy love movie or anything like that. Call it what it is ... gay movie, because you could.
Do you want to know something ... theaters will sell even fewer tickets than they do now.

I guess, although MR would contend that I am very politically correct will write this: If you have to declare what you are, you probably aren't. If you have to yell into people's faces that being gay is great and everyone should try it, you are probably wrong. If you're gay, great! Go thata way! I don't want to see it and would be peeved to be in a theater, paying $7.50 only to be duped into the theme.

Last Temptation of Christ hid nothing in its title. If it offended you ... don't go! There would be an easier way of titling the movie, "B__________k Mountain." That would about say it, eh?

Awards committees have long been idiots. The fact that they are hailing this as a revolutionary, innovative movie because it's so gay, isn't surprising. What's sad is that people still watch the awards hoping that decisions are made based on merit, not vindicating the repressed.
