"B... B... B... Brokeback Mountain."

In other Hollywood News-



Did you notice that Clint Eastwood could barely bring himself to say the words "Brokeback Mountain" at the Golden Globe Awards? "B... B... B... Brokeback Mountain."

I never realized Homsexual Panic causes stuttering!

The movie seems to be causing a lot of stuttering. Folks seem unable to cope with a depiciton of homsexuality that doesn't feature a campy "Will and Grace" buddy, or the "punishment" of AIDS.

The most bizzare take on Brokeback Mountain I've seen can be found in Andrew Longman's blog entry titled "You can't fight Islamism with Gay Cowboys.

This is flat out one of the weirdest rants I've ever seen. - check this bit in particular - "It is repugnant that the national icons of Missionary zeal and righteous machismo are being mocked " Since when are Missionary Zeal and righteous machismo national icons?

That said, the image of a brigade of gay cowboys sweeping over the plains of Afganistan into Kabul is certainly a gripping, if improbable one...
