@Stepdad --
We agree 110%.
Brokeback Mountain was one of the most MSM-favored, over-hyped under-perfomers of a movie to come along in decades. To read the press clippings, you'd think that the entire country was lining up at the theaters -- unable to contain themselves waiting to see this brilliant, inspiring film.
The reality was quite different........but hey, the movie was incredibly cheap to make by today's standards, and it eeked out a couple of dollars in profit (no CG required) -- so that meant that BM was the biggest movie house success since......since........A Beautiful Mind !
No, I haven't seen it. In fact, I haven't even seen A Beautiful Mind.
