Fun stuff

It's your typical Levitican homophobic bile, made a million times more entertaining with one line: "The young ladies who are fans of Gyllenhaal and Ledger do not want to see them making out."

I'd wager that "Jared" does not have much contact with young heterosexual women, because I'm quite sure that this isn't true. Granted, I have no statistics to back me up, but I think most "young ladies" would want to see that. (If you're wondering, I saw the trailer in the company of a (mostly) heterosexual gentleman, neither of us knowing what it was about. Neither of us were particularly inclined to see it based on the trailer, but we both agreed that Gyllenhaal and Ledger looked very pretty together.)

The cowardly wanker has now turned off comments. Awww. You can still continue to flame his colleague, in a post defending the original post, not that I would ever encourage such behaviour.

[Poll #628255]

I answered the poll. I was surprised how quickly I came up with two hot guys I'd like to see make out :)

On my friends page, your post is directly below another post about Brokeback. This is going to be a fun week.

[sabotabby]

I had to Google who they were, and of course some of the first pictures that came up were really oozing with teh gay. So I bet you're not alone on that.

HAHAHAHAHA!

" by and large Americans -- blue state, red state, Christian and non -- innately find homosexuality repulsive."

He should quickly pull the girly mags out from under his bed and reconsider his bullshit for a moment.

Wow - so sad the post is closed.

Too bad he didn't save himself some time and just write "I'm a scared little dumbfuck" and then post that shit.

and more points off for the Pulp fiction and seinfeld references.

[sabotabby]

Hell yeah. Of course, I still don't have much of a desire to see it, because it looked like a romance movie and I don't like romance movies. But that could have just been the trailer.

[sabotabby]

You can still post on the second article I linked to!

He admitted in one of the comments that he doesn't "innately" find female homosexuality repulsive -- he just finds it repulsive because it's a "sin." (It isn't. Not even according to his Bible's rules.) It really lends weight to the "scared little dumbfuck" theory.

I read that post this morning and forwarded it to a few people. It's insane, but what amaes me most is how quickly can some out-of-hand staffer at some blog on the internet make a site an internet phenomena! They created their own echo chamber by posting about the "post" two or three times... I say this was a nefarious conspiracy to make their blog e-popular and then take over the world.


Frankly, the gay cowboy film is not "yucky" so much as risible. I saw its first previews before "The Constant Gardener," whose audience was far to the left, and the sounds of laughter and loud chuckles permeated the theater as soon as the premise was introduced. These people were not repulsed by the homoerotic scenes so much as amused by the campiness of the juxtaposition of gay and cowboy themes. It's campy because the gay cowboys are Village People, not vanguards of civil rights, they lampoon the images of male masculinity. So the reaction of these people was to the premise not, as Jared suggests, to the anal sex.

Seriously, you have to be very bored or very reactionary to go around looking for essentialist critiques for the highly superficial phenomena of pop culture. See my icon, if you don't believe me.

Okay - spent 10 min scrolling through with all these witty responces in mine head - but then the bile factor choked off any enthusiasm I had.

Lots of white guys talking about a movie not being catered to them is just too much for me thismorning.

BUT - your humpy bunny icon??

HAWT!

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

good points.

Yes - I absolutely had a bit of a "yuck factor" reaction to the preview - but it was the cowboys that bring that out in me.

[billie0.livejournal.com]

It's wierd but Eric Szmanda just jumped into my head immediately :)

[sabotabby]

I say this was a nefarious conspiracy to make their blog e-popular and then take over the world.

You could be right. Then again, there have been a number of obscure blogs wherein someone has made some dumb remark and the next thing you know, it's all over teh intarwebs.

I saw the preview before "Paradise Now," so I'd also presume that the audience mostly kicked with the left boot. The snickering seemed to be geared more to very bad dialogue than anything else.

Also, heh. Buttsex.

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

in fact "dead man" is the only western themed movie I can think of that I liked - much less did not violently fight having to sit through.

[sabotabby]

Pfft. Cowboys are hot.

[sabotabby]

I <3 my bunny icon. Poor bunny.

Those white guys should shut up. I don't complain about every movie that doesn't have zombies and/or killer robots in it and thus does not cater to me, do I?

[groovitude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I liked that one as well. Jarmusch's "Ghost Dog" is also good if you go or cowboys/samurais in the inner city motif. It's a Western with a dash of spirituality.

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

OMG R KNOT!!!

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

Love that one too - AND you have an icon!

Hawt!

I think my cowboy thing is more of a "barren wasteland with white men taming that bitch nature and killing things that move around" type of thing.

[roter-terror.livejournal.com]

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

likewise I complain not when the cast of a film FAILS COMPLETELY to burst into song at innapropriate moments.

speaking of which "reefer madness" is out for rent now.

DANCING ZOMBIES!!!

My most recent entry is also about zombies.

I think that the current cowboy pairing of Heath and Jake is pretty damned hot, but I found it difficult to narrow it down to 2 sessy mens. cowboys- yum.

I love how Jared's ideas about gay sex are basically are rape scenarios. What a dumbass.

[sabotabby]

OMG R!

[jaymoh.livejournal.com]

He's so not a cowboy. He can't even ride a horse.

::snrk::

Hey, you didn't respond to my Rush reference the other day! What gives?

How's about this one?

I think rape scenarios offer the only "safe" outlet for Jared to express his not-so-secret fascination with gay sex.
