Just got back from Brokeback, suburban rethug voting theater PACKED |
|
Complete silence, quiet weeping all around. I had expected to see it nearly alone or some jeers or walkouts.Very interesting.
This will stay with me a LONG time.
The effect builds even AFTER you leave the theater - the final scene is still getting to me a few hours later.
Well - if we don't have the Presidency, OR the House OR the Senate OR the sSupreme Court.... at least we have the Globes and probably the Oscars.Somehow I still don't feel any better.

That movie has stayed with me and it's been five days since I saw it. I cried like a little baby! :hi:
The place was mobbed for a 1:00 p.m. showing in Waterbury, CT. I was surprised by the showing. But it was MLK day so maybe a lot of people had off from work.

4. I'm about to head out to see |
|
the last showing now (I'm on mountain time), so I'll be sure to check back in and let you know what I thought. The short story was wonderful, and incredibly moving and sad at the end, so I'm assuming the movie will be quite an experience.

5. When it comes out on video... |
|
We have to make sure we send a vhs copy to Fred Phelps. Bet it would give the old fart a heart attack.
I wonder how many RW nuts got suckered into seeing this movie, I mean, look at that poster... There like two Marlborough Men up there. Hate to have been working in that theatre. Cleaning gum, popcorn, m&ms and puke mixed with soda is bad but cleaning up after a mass right-wing head explosion.... shudder... with glee.
