I've seen the TV trailer for Brokeback Mountain. It is misleading as hell. If I wasn't aware of what the movie is about from having read about it online, I doubt I would pick up from the trailer that it is about these two guys having a gay love affair. It'll be interesting to see what the reaction is once the film gets into general circulation and people start going to it in numbers because they saw the trailer. Might be a little outcry on that one.

I agree with Grandma, the ads for broken back on tv, made it seem like it was a love story staged in the old West and certainly gave no hint that it was a made for candy movie.

"West Wing bites the dust." I have watched parts of it several times. It was written by liberals about the way they wish it would be. Generally I flipped the channel shortly after landing on it. did I miss the previews for “Brokeback Mountain” that even somewhat alluded to the fact that it is about gays? "They must realize how out of the mainstream they are if they think they need to mislead by omission to get folks to come to their "Love Story"." Based on my observations of their statements and actions, I doubt if they realize that they ar out of the mainstream. Why else would they even allow a gay affair to get 4 awards? How many Emmys will it receive?
