I don't and I'm not saying the typical homosexual person shoves it in mine either, I'm saying that when something involving gays in something like a movie is released, it's covered everywhere on every tv station, every news channel and everything, as if it's the greatest thing to ever happen, and in this case, the greatest movie to be released. That's all I'm saying. I have no problem with it, just when it's blown way out of proportion.Originally Posted by Torren McHasselhoffgard III

Brokeback Mountain won SEVERAL awards, for the record.
Many thanks Christmas!
Horniest Member, 2007! Gimme a little unf unf!
and if we're gonna be honest, what do those awards really mean. How often have you seen a movie you've never even heard of nominated for something. How often have you seen a movie advertised for the first time saying it was like 6 golden globe nominations. Those awards are just ways for actors, directors, and everyone else to toot their own horns, they don't really mean anything.

They make a big deal out of many movies, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc...Unfrotunately I cannot say how much Brokeback mountain was covered on TV since I very rarely watch TV, due to me not having one. Brokeback Mountain is not the first, nor the last movie that will be plastered all over the TV stations. Also you have to understand, that it was a big deal. As far as I know, it is one of the first movies that featured a homosexual couple (As much as you could considered the two a couple) as the main love interest of a film. That does not happen every day, so people tend to make a big deal about it. Sure it got hyped, but many movies get hyped. *Shrugs* Its the media, deal with it. They go for what will get their viewers as a whole. Something controversial always works.

Didn't Fear Effect try to play off that?
I don't know how the world would react to it. It might be a commercial failure for Square, but it'd fulfill the dreams of more than a few " Otaku's " and other sad individuals out there.
I'm sick and tired of fanboys and fangirls speculating over the sexual orientation of fictional characters in their favorite manga/ videogames. It's akin to celebrity gossip - a bunch of airbrushed, airheaded giggling 13-year old girls debating the significance of Brad Pitt's engagement to Angelina Jolie, while they're not saturating themselves in gaudy cosmetics or listening to the same music that everyone else listens to because " it's hip " and " the in thing." In this case we've got a slightly more intellectual bunch who rather than play the damn game and shut up, like to portray their favorite characters in blatantly homoerotic scenes or worse yet, discuss the subject of their sexuality ...
" Ooh, is Zell gay ? He sure has the hots for Squall, I'll bet."
" My, what an intelligent conclusion, " Otaku ", let's masturbate !
" Ok,I'll download the yaoi ! "
On the issue of homosexuality, it's very divided. I say it's a free country - people are free to love as they choose, so get over it all you homophobes. [leeza]*snip*
Considering that you are naming names, I will consider that to be flaming. Be a lot more careful next time you decide to give examples. ~ Leeza[/leeza]
you misunderstand me. There are numerous movies I never hear of, then they get nominated. LOTR, HP, you can't compare them. People knew of these movies years before they were released, so of course they're hyped. They don't get nominated for anything til after they are released though. Brokeback Mountain, and a number of others, got nominated before being released, and I had never even heard of, and no one I know did either. All of a sudden it's advertised as this huge amazing movie, and it's not even in theatres yet. That's what pisses me off.

Critics and people in the movie business see these things before they're released. They give their opinions on it before they're ever released, hence why Brokeback was getting such hype and hence why it was nominated before its release. All movies that are released so close to Oscar time are watched as far in advance as possible so the Oscar folks can give it any nominations it deserves.
I can honestly say, there has never been a movie up for major awards in the past 5 years or so that I have never heard of.
Those awards DO mean something. And just because most of America would prefer to watch Jessica Alba in a swimsuit fighting sharks, doesn't mean that the films you've never heard of aren't any good.
Also, in order to qualify for the Oscars, a movie MUST be released before December 31st of that movie year. So every single movie that was nominated for an Academy Award was playing in theaters at the very least a month or so before nominations for the Oscars came out.
Just thought I should clear that up.
Oh really? I didnt know that about the cut off date. Thanks, doll :<3:
I would like to know who those awards mean something to... Cause they mean nothing to me. I'm not going to see a movie just cause it won all these awards, which is half the reason for the awards. TO tell people it's suppose to be a good movie and they should put money into it. If I had no interest before it won awards, I still have none after it does. Like I said, it boosts the ego of those involved with the project, that's what it really accomplishes.

Yes you did.
no, I said when something like a homosexual movie is produced, it gets shoved in my face, it's on every news channel for over a week.
