Only two weeks ago, I asked GFY'ers for their Top 5 choices of Movies for 2005. The overwhelming Top 4 were King Kong, Batman Begins, Sin City, and The 40 Year Old Virgin, and a slew of others were 'tied' for fifth. That thread had a great deal of replies and views, and NOT ONE VOTE was cast for "Brokeback Mountain." Not one.

It doesn't surprise me. Most people need some spectacular effect or a key villian to be entertained by a movie. This movie has subtle undertones, spectacular cinematography and an emotionally stirring storyline. I, for one, don't have to be beaten over the head to be entertained by a movie. Plot, storyline, acting entertain me.
And I'm worlds away from being gay. Calm down homophobes and try to intellectualize for once.
Just my
