No, it's not a western beyond the locale. I was about to say "and the cowboys", but cowboys in westerns are hyper-virile figurines. Bleuch! These are more balanced.

yeah C. Davis, its boring as hell. There's nothing to the characters.

I dont think theres even a gun! That cant ever be good!

Does anyone know if there are references to pudding in this movie at all, like, maybe some Jell-o pudding snacks just sitting idly in the background or one of the wives using it to keep their man from going off to see the other? Doesn't matter, it's still an Ang Lee movie which is bad enough. That man has greatly dissapointed me when given material I'd actually enjoy.

Someone earlier mentioned we were a new generation who's supposed to be above homophobia and the like, which I agree with. But then why can't we also be above such blatant "wah, gimme an Oscar" type of movies? Jeebus, who didn't figure this movie was going to get a half dozen nods when they first read about it? I hate how predictable the whole community of critics is. Jon Stewart is hosting the Oscars this year and if I wasn't sure that Brokeback Mountain was going to undeservedly win more Oscars than not, I might actually have a reason to watch it. If we truly look up to Brokeback Mountain as a "good" movie then we're doomed to continute to propagate these lame ass movies in the future. Don't get me started on Capote.

If you haven't seen it, then don't talk sh*t.

Sound sliek you've recieved myyearly invitation, to not watching. We'll (the hate posse, me and kyle) look forward to talking about art in the chats until, during, and after those dreadful awards, whenever they are.

oh for a minute I forgot they even existed. Damnit Kane, now I wanna complain about them.
I'll torture Fash.

The Praying Mantis


REUTERS - Scientists have recently discovered a significant decrease in the population of the praying mantis. After months of heavily involved research, it has been confirmed that the main reason for decline just so happens to be homosexuality. It is a well known fact that after engaging in intercourse the female praying mantis will quickly dismember the male praying mantis. The reason for this is not entirely known; however, the post coitus killings have homosexual relationships between the praying mantis at an all time high.

“Stewart gives me all I need in another mantis, without the killing after sex…Which is great,” says Robert Mantis a long time insect in California. “I prayed about it for months on end, and came to the realization that my female counterparts weren’t worth dying for. Even if the sex is better.”

This gay revelation, just recently striking the scientific community, seeks to endanger the existence of a well known insect all across the world. To stunt this behavior, many scientists have begun experiments intended to trick the male mantis into relations with the female mantis. “The thin blade of grass she had taped in between her legs just wasn’t convincing at all. Plus I saw that she had a switchblade in her hands,” said Larry Mantis, an openly homosexual praying mantis.

This problem continues to sprout up among other mantis studies across the nation. Scientists hope they can began to take steps to calm down the female mantis into a less violent, non homicidal post sexual rage. "I just wish more female species would have the guts to kill their men after sex. It's very liberating. The closest species that can even come close is humans. While the man may not physically die, the post relations cuddle grip comes quite close," says Sally Mantis, a mantis fighting for the sanctity of female mantis' rights to kill their mate after sex.

El oh el.

The ignorance of some of the people on here disgusts me, you people should be ashamed of yourselves.

As for the movie, it was very well done. There were some extremely obvious continuity errors though.

This thread is old and battered. May it rest in peace.
