I could swear I've read the male Christian conservative opinion on Brokeback Mountain before, but anglepoiselamp linked to it again and quoted this line from it:

The young ladies who are fans of Gyllenhaal and Ledger do not want to see them making out.

That line kills me dead. Because -- and this is just a theory, mind you -- I'm pretty sure I could have sex with an ugly guy I hated in the same room as Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal having a wild, hot homosexual fling on the other side of the room, and have it be the best sex I could ever have just from keeping my head turned in the right direction to watch every sexy minute of them doing it.

What's the color of the sky in his world again? O.o

I cannot wait for that movie to come out! I live in red state Indiana though, so I might end up driving an hour to the arty theatre to be able to see it. So yes, male Christian conservative guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

I think it's amusing that, after all these years, straight women finally are on board with the whole "watching two people both of the opposite sex do sex things together is sexy."

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

One gets the impression he never actually talks to girls. Or maybe he means "young ladies" as in the rest of us chicks who want to see it happen are just dirty pervs. Amazingly enough, I can live with that assessment of my character.

Yeah. That whole article was big on fandom_wank a couple of days back, so probably everybody's heard of it by now.

This guy has never had so much free publicity before in his life. PR companies take note.

...they don't?

*takes their temperature*

[dimethirwen.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

I think the polite phrase to describe the author of this article is "out of touch." Maybe he is made uncomfortable by it, but the "young ladies" in question certainly won't be, overall.

*eyes glaze over at thought of the two of them together*

...How have I not heard about this movie?!

Gyllenhaal and Ledger make out? lord thunderin' jesus I think my ovaries mught explode.

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

And eat pudding.

Well, probably not. But they should!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You haven't heard of this movie?!

Yes, they make out. They're cowboys in love. And it's not even just them making out, it's an honest-to-God love story. And considering the enormous amounts of Oscar buzz, it's good. (I don't think I've seen a review yet that hasn't mentioned that Heath Ledger should get a Best Actor nomination.)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*snickers* You know, if there's a scene in the movie where either one of them eats pudding, half of the audience is going to die laughing. :)

[chaosphaere.livejournal.com]

(waves wildly) I WANNA SEE THEM MAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[valerie]

Do I even want to explain to this guy exactly how many females read/write slash?

[miss-pryss.livejournal.com]

You know, just when I think I've learned to be reasonably zen about the Christian Right-fuelled homophobia in this country... I read something like this and spend the rest of the day shaking with rage.

EW.

If only I could convince my boyfriend to make out with Jake Gyllenhaal.

But the only man he wants is Chris Cornell.

*sigh*

I guess I'LL just have to make out with Jake Gyllenhaal.

[elessar.livejournal.com]

I really love all the comments towards the journalist. Because seriously, do more research if you're going to write that line. Does he KNOW how huge slash followings are among young girls? XD

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Guess I really must be a pervy old lady, then.

[jennifus.livejournal.com]

HA! And, so true.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

...You mean the mainstream media finally acknowledges it.

I don't think straight women just jumped on board, if you know what I mean.

The boyfriend and I saw a trailer for that movie. Neither of us had heard about it beforehand, and the first few minutes looked like it was just supposed to be a western of some sort.

I leaned over and whispered to him, "Hey, is this supposed to be a gay porn?" He replied that I had a dirty mind. You know, until it was revealed a few seconds later that it was a movie about hot gay cowboys who fuck each other.

It doesn't necessarily make me want to see it, since the dialogue looked laughably bad, but it did made me want to rent it once it's out on video so I can fast forward through the parts where they're not making out.

[dawning-star.livejournal.com]

Pervs unite! Literally. *snerk*

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

Finally, a movie that writes the gay porn all by itself.

[astaria51.livejournal.com]

Uh. I think I can say perfectly honestly that they do.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

*LOL* For me personally, I'm pretty selfish. If two men that good looking are in the same room with me, I want them to be into me, not each other.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. That's the ultimate option, but the watching-them-making-out-with-one-another thing is a Plan B I can live with. ;)
