Despite the cracks about gay cowboys on late-night TV and chin-stroking about whether it would play in Peoria, "Brokeback Mountain" is poised to be not just one of the most praised films of the 2005 Oscar class -- it will become one of the most profitable movies of the year, and a mainstream one at that.
Who'd have thunk it?

The article is wrong--the result of lazy journalism. Brokeback is a money-loser and will be until its in the 60 million range. A film that opens in a 1000 theaters isn't mainstream. Brokeback only does well in comparison with other liberal-wet-dream films--most of which involve George Clooney somehow. The gay enthusiasm and rhetoric for Brokeback is not unlike the Crat enthusiasm for Mary Landrieu run-off win for her Senate seat after the Republicans cleaned the table--silly, but predictable.

Funny about the Clooney wet dream analogy. Almost makes up for how consistently wrong you've been about the rest. And is there a reason why my comments aren't showing up on posts? Ongoing database issues or isn't my authentication working?
