This made me wonder. If Brokeback Mountain was about two attractive homosexual girls rather than two attractive homosexual guys, what would the reaction have been? Would it still have been nominated for an Oscar? Would people still be in an uproar if it didn't beat Crash?

Laura Mulvey would have loved that shiet.

[Flying Mullet]

Are they furries?

[DK]

They are demon girls.

[Loony BoB]

There is a topic for discussion. That's just the inspiration!

They are hot though.

[Del Murder]

Female cowboys? Nah.

[Loony BoB]

Well, female somethings.

I remember seeing a porn film in the rental store called Bareback Mountain, it was actually right next to Brokeback Mountain on the shelf.

[Loony BoB]

Well I mean a serious flick. >=( You people are so hard to work with! I should have posted this in EoEO. I should make a thread in EoEO about how nobody takes my threads seriously. And then cry. Why isn't it called EmoEO anyway?

My answer was serious. A movie about lesbian cowboys wouldn't go over so well.

I don't think a female version of brokeback would work in general because we live in a patriarchal society and also male homosexuality is more hip than female homosexuality.

[Psychotic]

It would still sound like unappealing garbage that I wouldn't really want to watch, but at least it would be unappealing garbage balanced out by lesbians and tits.

Yeah, everyone would just think it would be gratituous exploitation and not bother seeing the film. Or see it, but have different expectations.

I respectfully disagree! :Eek:

[Del Murder]

You disagree that we live in a patriarchal society or that male homosexuality is more hip? By more hip I mean it gets talked about more.

This. Female homosexuality is typically viewed as more erotic than male homosexuality. By focusing on a male relationship it removes the erotic elements and allows a deeper focus on the people and the relationship itself.
