Brokeback To The Future

Considering the name, I don't even WANT to know what this is about.

It will destroy what's left of my inner child and grind his cold, dead corpse into hamburgers which will then be served to evil kittens...

(If it is what it sounds like, I mean.)

*sings* "In my conutry there is problem / And that problem is Brokeback Mountain."
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

I'll check this out @ home. My work computer won't let me play it.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I took a look at the first few seconds of the clip. But it is an obvious cheap shot at Brokeback Mountain, so I stopped it.

Hehe, that was awesome! The funniest thing I've seen all day. I've been a Back to the Future fan for 14 years, and I never picked up on the subtext... the true heart of those lines and experiences they shared until now. How could I have missed the signs all this time?!

There is no lingerie in space…

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

You say that like taking a cheap shot at Brokeback Mountain is a bad thing.

I wonder why someone has such sensitive feelings about Brokeback Mountain.............

Andy, it's sad that you'll never understand.

I'm even more surprised that you don't understand, you being a supposed wise teacher and all. I would have expected you to be more tolerant than that, given the fact that you deal with different points of view all the time.

Sounds like somebody has some unresolved issues.

Some of the best gay jokes I've heard come from gay friends. Lighten up Francis.

I'm not attacking gay people, Adam.

I'm attacking the film and the way it gets a free ride from critics because it is OMG TEH PROGRESSIVE! Good film or bad, it's undenaibly politically charged.

Don't confuse my intolerance for you as an intolerance for gays in general. It's not your homosexuality that offends me.

Understandable. I agree with you there. To praise a film simply because it's the cool thing to do is certainly not cool.

OK, I see. I don't mind your intolerance for me. I would be intolerant of me as well if I was in your situation. I thought you guys were attacking gays.

And no, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not gay. I just stick up for those people.

No offense, Adam, but lighten up! It's a joke! It's making fun of Back to the Future just as much as Brokeback Mountain. And seriously, there's a difference between a shot at BM and a shot at gays. Not every BM joke is a gay joke. Heck, I made a joke on-stage tonight about Brokeback Mountain...and how I'd never be able to watch Princess Diaries again. Of course, only about 8 people got the joke, but I was still making fun of the movie.

Jokes are just that -- jokes. Jeez. Gay jokes are like racial jokes. "Racial jokes may be uncouth, but you still laugh at them 'cause they're based on truth!"

Well... OK!

This racial remark should get a good laugh. In the words of the great George Carlin:

"Why is it that African-Americans are allowed to call each other niggers? Because they're niggers!"
