Brokeback Mountain is an extremely good movie, as far as romance films go. Superb acting and direction, with a story just relevant enough to be memorable. Although there are a few legitimate criticisms, I'm tempted to think that most of the criticism it receives is simply due to the "ick" factor.

It sucks. No explosions. None. I honestly can't think of one movie that John Cusak has done that I have liked, other than Eight Men Out.

However, the story line of gay cowboys doesn't sound plausible. I have been around cowboys all my life and that would NOT fly. Sorry ain't going to happen. So you have an implausible subject, the "ick" factor and no hot chicks doing the guy? What's to watch? It's not metaphysical, it's not action, it's not normal romance, but gay unrequitted love? I'm not that artsy, thank you very much.

Gay men, just keep it to yourselves. It's not a phobia but a disinterest because it's shoved down our throats. There's plenty else I'm willing to explore, just not that.

True Romance is no. 1. (What else?) It's also Tarantino's best movie.
