Brokeback Mountain

[xAleux]

Is it reeeally worth seeing? im intrigued by the plot, but is it worth 9 dollars? tell me

[Shatter590]

yes

[ImJerry]

It's a pretty good movie. Nothing amazing. It'll be on dvd soon, i would just wait and rent it.

[seconds]

i enjoyed it. sorry to hear you have to pay $9 for a ticket. it's much cheaper here.

[pinkjinx87]

So I heard it was an excellent movie. I think i'll go and see it.

[Shatter590]

i paid 4 to see it, but by me regualr price is like 10 25. my luck they got a discount theatre by my house

[pinkjinx87]

i paid 4 to see it, but by me regualr price is like 10 25. my luck they got a discount theatre by my houseThat's pretty expensive..the regular ticket price here is like around $8.

[seconds]

our regular price is about $5-6

[pinkjinx87]

Well I guess it depends on which place you go to. We have our cheap theaters, which are about $4. But they show all the older movies.

[Shatter590]

its a city thing. all the theatres in NY average $9-$11. There are a few cheap ones that show first run movies, but they tend to be very...um...shitty. like the one by my house. but saving $6 is worth it

[pinkjinx87]

Yeah..but it's getting more expensive here too. More people are moving down here so the prices are getting higher.

[Shatter590]

right now it can be cheaper to just get the dvd than see the movie. in fact, if more than 2 of us want to see it, we just wait for the dvd, but it and do illegal things with it to save cash

[pinkjinx87]

That's the way to go.

[SLADE775]

Go see this in theatres immeadiatly.

Don't listen to these morons (imjerry).

Go.

Now!

It's a MUST SEE movie and of the most important movies ever made.

[weezer182]

i will probably see it this weekend

[pinkjinx87]

I've heard good stuff and bad stuff about it. I just don't want to waste my money on a dumb movie.

[SLADE775]

I've heard good stuff and bad stuff about it. I just don't want to waste my money on a dumb movie.

hahahaha

Shut up and go see the fucking movie before I kick you in the face.

[pinkjinx87]

Yes sir.

[seconds]

everyone is so nice today.
but yeah, see the movie.

[pinkjinx87]

Are people usually mean?

[drudo182]

This movie is the best of 2005.

It's got the best writing, cinematography, acting, directing and music in a film I saw all year.

[cal1082]

i would never go to the movies to watch a cowboy love story be it gay or straight.

[pinkjinx87]

I'm not going to judge it until I atleast see it.

[SLADE775]

Are people usually mean?

Fuck you.

[Justin_stacy]

Is it reeeally worth seeing? im intrigued by the plot, but is it worth 9 dollars? tell me

No movie is worth $9 to see, period. That's a rip-off. But brokeback is a good movie (my personal favorite of the year. See signature), and you should see it, but wait for it on DVD or go to a matinee.

[Scott Weber]

movies here are $9.50.

[TJ Wells]

movies here are $9.50. damn...we have a first run theater in our town that gives you a ticket, a pop and a popcorn for 6 bucks (4.75 matinee)...its a nice theater too

[Scott Weber]

that's what you get for living in illinois...

[AdmistAPoision]

It is not worth seeing in my opinion.
It's a bit slow in the begining. I'd rather a bit of that to have been cut out. I wouldn't give awards to those portraying such a choice of lifestyle. In which they didn't receive props. It most definately isn't worth $9. If I had to pay that much to see a movie, it should include FREE snacks.

[monkeyboyrock]

I heard its really boring. And really boring movies should never be seen by anyone. Its not even about the gay thing...boring is boring...but that's just what I heard.

[TJ Wells]

no, thats what i get for living in the burbs

[TJ Wells]

you are a nutbag...this is one of the few things i agree w/ slade on, while not the best film of the year (crash), it is amazing and will definitely pick up most of the awards its nominated for (NOT best actor, supporting actor or supporting actress, though)

Wrong Bitch.

No FREE snacks for you.

Hey you.

Finish those reviews you cunt!

And Crash was not the best movie of 05 at all for Ludacris's performance alone.

[SLADE775]

Shut your face.

[Justin_stacy]

i guess thats one more great reason why you shouldn't live on the left coast.

[Emopunkthrice]

at my local theatre 10 bucks for night, 8 bucks for matinee

[Scott Weber]

i guess thats one more great reason why you shouldn't live on the left coast.
Do I really have to give you all the reasons you shouldn't live in the midwest?

[weezer182]

Do I really have to give you all the reasons you shouldn't live in the midwest?haha nope

[drudo182]

Do I really have to give you all the reasons you shouldn't live in the midwest?

i live in the midwest and im proud.

[radiofriendly]

And Crash was not the best movie of 05 at all for Ludacris's performance alone.

thank you!! he almost single-handedly ruined the movie. or should i say Paul Haggis' heavy-handed rascism sprawl of screenplay nearly ruined the movie. the performances were incredible, and so were several other things, but this was not the best picture of the year.

Brokeback Mountain is a wonderful movie, with rich performances and a beautiful camera eye. it is very candid, but i went knowing what to expect. of course not. the material is handled well, and the screenplay was very well developed. is it untouchable? is it the best film of the year. no i don't think so. but it is certainly a good story, and a great drama. Ang Lee is barnone, the most versatile and talented director in the business. his eye and his vision is so incredible and so unique. he's literally capable of anything.

well then if crash AND brokeback mountain weren't the best, what was?

[Justin_stacy]

There aren't any in comparison......the left coast is just that bad.

.
There wouldn't have been a point to the movie without that.........Racisim and how it crosses ever fabric of the nation was the whole concept of the movie.
Though i'll give you it wasn't the best movie of the year.

[radiofriendly]

well then if crash AND brokeback mountain weren't the best, what was?

probably Cinderella Man

with History Of Violence not too far behind. i need to see Munich again, it may have even more incredible then i thought it was at first. mix Crash somewhere in there.

[radiofriendly]

if Cinderella Man was released on Christmas Day instead of August, we'd be having a completely different Oscar discussion this year.

[Scott Weber]

Haha, alright. Seattle is a lot different than LA, you know.

[Justin_stacy]

Haha, alright. Seattle is a lot different than LA, you know.

;) I was just joke'n with ya anyways.....so long as you're not in California or Florida, any place in the US is good.

[Justin_stacy]

probably Cinderella Man
.
Is that worth watching?.........Million Dollar Baby was such a disappointment that i've kind of given up hope on a good boxing movie.

[radiofriendly]

Is that worth watching?.........Million Dollar Baby was such a disappointment that i've kind of given up hope on a good boxing movie.

ugh, that's because Million Dollar baby was a dissapointment.

this is a boxing film through and through. i guess you could also call it a human drama as well. i could go on for hours on Million Dollar Baby. Cinderella Man is a stellar piece of filmmaking. not too mention that Ron Howard does an incredible job filming those boxing sequences. there is one subplot about Hooverville that is a little needless, but altogether i can't imagine why anybody would hate this movie. the performances are ten times better. instead of Freeman and Eastwood sleepwalking through there roles. Bierko, Crowe, Giamitti, even Zelwegger are first rate.

[weezer182]

;) I was just joke'n with ya anyways.....so long as you're not in California or Florida, any place in the US is good.there is nothing wrong with california :)

[gilatron5000]

I'll see it eventually, but if they eat any pudding, I'm walking out.

[Justin_stacy]

ugh, that's because Million Dollar baby was a dissapointment. .

THANK YOU! i am so sick of people saying this was a "great" movie. It was ok at best......

Well i guess i'll have to check out Cinderella Man then.........but I'm holding you accountable if it sucks.:D

[Justin_stacy]

there is nothing wrong with california :)

Worst place I’ve been in the nation after Florida. Absolutely no redeeming value what so ever.

[weezer182]

Worst place I’ve been in the nation after Florida. Absolutely no redeeming value what so ever.wow where in california did go?

[Justin_stacy]

wow where in california did go?

LA, the bay area and Eureka..........not a lot of places I’ll give ya, but enough to make a decent conclusion of the state.

[weezer182]

LA, the bay area and Eureka..........not a lot of places I’ll give ya, but enough to make a decent conclusion of the state.im sorry that you didnt like it. i do think it is the best state in america but hey im glad not everyone likes it. the state already has enough people

[Justin_stacy]

Everyone finds different value in different things......so that's coo....

[Scott Weber]

i fucking HATE California. I don't understand how people can like that state.

[somethingyellow]

i fucking HATE California. I don't understand how people can like that state.i dont ;)

[weezer182]

i fucking HATE California. I don't understand how people can like that state.it has a lot to offer and is very diverse. you can go to the beach or go ski in the mountians. the scenery is amazing in a lot of places. the weather is great. plus a lot of the cities are unique like san francisco and la.

[LeftWideOpen]

wtf? people are ripping on Brokeback, Million Dollar Baby and Crash, which are probably 3 of the best pieces of filmmaking in years and are all critically acclaimed. anyone who thinks brokeback is "pointless" or crash is "racist" needs to examine themselves and there purpose in life. i can't think of two more important screenplays to come out this year.

i hope you people arent the kind who contribute to white girls and big momma's house being the #1 movie in the country at one time or another.

[LeftWideOpen]

i haven't seen munich but it looks great. anyway, we could debate for hours and hours about the best films of certain era's, the point is ....they all had an important message behind them. they contribute not only to the world of filmmaking, but to society as a whole. not many movies can do that. for someone to say they are overrated, i'd argue that they are really missing the role of these films in the big picture.

Holy off-topic conversations Batman! I thought this was a Brokeback Mountain thread! Oh well, when in Rome...

I live in California. It's not so bad. It's just a place to live. Nothing more, nothing less.

i live in the midwest and im proud.I like it in KC. I actually wanna live there someday. Just thought I'd share.

[gilatron5000]

you also live in the east bay (unless of course you live in walnut creek or somewhere like that)Live in San Pablo, work in Richmond. Theyre' pretty much the same thing though, so I usually say Richmond, since people have actually HEARD of Richmond.
