Brokeback Mountain.......yet again.

I'm so sick of hearing about Brokeback Mountain. Before the movie came out, all I remember hearing about this film was that it was a gay lovestory and before anybody saw it, people already had a very negative reaction. Church organizations blasted the film for its positive portrayal of two gay men in love. Then, the film was nominated for Best Picture. When the film did not win the oscar, gay people seemed to blast the Academy for its prejudiced views. Jesus Christ!! 5 films were nominated and each year, only 1 film wins. I don't hear Capote, Munich or Good Night and Good Luck fans crying outrage.

And now this!! Randy Quaid is bitching that he deserves more money because the producers lied to him. Since when has Randy Quaid been an actor in demand? He should be thankful that he now has a film on his resume which is actually good. If he truly believes that the producers knew that a love story about two gay cowboys was about to make almost a hundred million dollars, then he's a fool. Not many gay movies get an audience as diverse as Brokeback Mountain did. And no gay movie has ever been seen as the lead contender for Best Picture. Randy Quaid, I suggest you be grateful and please don't do anymore National Lampoon movies. You're starting to make Chevy Chase look like good.
