I think a Golden Lion makes it worthy of my attention ... and two guys making out :D :D

[Rory L. Aronsky]

And never speaking of it again. That's just so hot. :p

[Terminal_Ny]

I'll see this. Definitely a fan of Gyllenhaal and a gay romance/western is quite original.

[Joey Dixie]

So is it offical we need more gay westerns/cowboy films?

[Terminal_Ny]

I don't think it's official, but I'm willing to see this one since it has a great cast.

I am seriously offended that the cowboys are being played by pretty boys like Jake and Heath. They don't look like real cowboys. Why not cast this film with real rugged he-men who look like genuine cowboys? How about Ernest Borgnine and Jack Palance? Now wouldn't it be extra hot to see those two old pros doing the old mano-a-mano? :cool:

Too bad Charles Bronson isn't still alive.

Okay seriously ... we loose the sexy, hollywood, city-folk hunks ... who would you cast? (possibly include link to a pic for the rest of us not entirely up on the up and rising talent in indiewood)

Manly, rugged cowboys. (http://okladki-divx.neostrada.pl/covers/y/young_guns.jpg)

Heath Ledger could've passed before he got his teeth fixed.

What's Luke Perry up to these days?

I think the idea for this movie was stolen from the South Park episode where the film festival sucks because all the films feature gay cowboys eating pudding. Blatant ripoff.

Just saw this, and was really impressed. Ang Lee is awesome, and I'm sure this movie was penance for "The Hulk".

[truepictures]

The Hulk was a f$@&ing good movie.

Everyone who thought otherwise should revisit the first X-Men movie, Fantastic Four, the first Spider-Man movie, any other movie with post-Smoking Gun Nick Nolte in it and reassess. You will realize that The Hulk did not suck. The movies I listed were mediocre at best - and nothing in comparison to the goodness stored within The Hulk. Post Smoking Gun Nick Nolte is an atrocious actor (he even sucked in Hotel Rwanda) - and Ang Lee used his atrociousness to the film's advantage.

Ang Lee had brilliant visuals in the film and he himself played The Hulk. The Hulk did look fake on the television commercials when I saw him for brief moments in trailers, but at the movies, The Hulk looked incredible and his facial expressions were amazing.

Ang Lee gave Andy Serkis a run for his money and overall the film was good. Ang Lee will continue to be a great director because he knows characters and has an awesome eye for special effects and visuals.

I've never been one for comic book films, although i did enjoy sin city.

I'm also one of the few who loved "Hulk".

Ang Lee is a great director.

That's a good point and I hadn't noticed... real cowboys don't look like underwear models. Jake and Heath are way more believable as "gay cowboys" than John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, or Matt Dillon would have been. The movie is still going where no movie has gone before, but it's not completely "balls to the wall".

Perhaps they were trying for "balls deep". I was trying to watch this movie with an open mind. To the shock of my family, I added it to my Netflix queue. I expected it to be a long wait given the hype surrounding the movie but it shipped I think on the day it released on DVD.

I'm not a movie critic by any stretch of the imagination, but I'll watch damn near anything if it seems like it may be good. This movie was good, but a long haul from being great. The initial roll in the hay looked as bout as romantic as a prison rape scene from Oz and it was a slow moving (IMHO) movie at times.

What I found more interesting than the movie, was when I told a coworker that I had started watching it the night before but got interupted he acted like it was the last thing he would ever consider watching. Two days later before I had a chance to finish the movie, I heard him telling someone about how he just finished watching it. :eyes:
