I must say the fisting scenes were handled with great sensitivity and delicacy and I think we all learned a thing or two about tolerance as well as some imaginative new uses for Crisco.
Rather they smite mine eyes, but then again that's how I feel about "The Godfather" and "Citizen Kane" and "Pink Flamingos" and "Richard Pryor In Concert" and "A Clockwork Orange" and "Pillow Talk" and every oh-so-outre-"indie" film and "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show" and "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Good Night And Blow Me" and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and "Law And Order" and prissy Manhattan socialite Howard Stern and Kurt Loder and Tony Danza and Liza Minnelli and Bruce Springsteen.
If you think all this crap isn't just thinly-veiled attempts to bugger you with bourgeois sacred cows, then you're obviously someone who doesn't think all this crap is just thinly-veiled attempts to bugger you with bourgeois sacred cows.
(sorry- I suck at analogies)

I really enjoyed watching this movie, not that there's anything wrong with that. Heath Ledger deserves all of the praise that he's getting, and it was totally weird to see the girl from "The Princess Diaries" topless. The fisting was done tastefully. Movies can make anything seem romantic.
The best part about it had to be that my parents didn't force me to watch it with them like they did with "American Beauty" and "The Piano." It wouldn't be the holiday season without rekindling the painful memories of adolescence.

Ugh, this thread just reminded me of the time my parents went to see 'American Pie' and my mom came home and asked me if she was a MILF. A question no son should ever have to consider.

HA! it's such a trick question. If you say "yes," you feel like a total sicko. If you say "no," you feel like a heartless bastard for telling your Mom she isn't attractive.
I just refused to answer and told her never to ask that question in my presence again.

You can always use the third party answer of "well Johnny things you are…". Then you might have to worry about Ms. PJ Robinson and little Johnny.

There were Washington Times sitting around at the Metro Station, so I grabbed one to read on the train ride this morning.
Though it was listed correctly for other theaters, the movie was called "Brokedown Palace" in the listing for the Fairfax Cinema Arts Theater.
Or maybe there is another movie called "Brokedown Palace"?

Yes, and the owner of the house drives a hooptie.

So….is she? Post pics and we'll have a board vote!
I had the misfortune to watch Bad Santa with my mother in law on Christmas Eve night. Quite a funny movie in all, but the butt-sex (Go on bitch, you won't shit right for a week when I'm done) and eating white pussy references left me a little uncomfortable in her company to say the least.

I saw Brokeback with my family, too. V. AKWARD.
As a hugemongeous gay-rights advocate, I was so happy that this movie was released and is up for all the awards it is. However, when it came down to watching it; I didn't like it all that much…I have about thismuch of an attention span, and while I did enjoy the long, drawn-out-love-story aspect of it; I hated that there was no plot. I always get really irritated when moves don't have plots.
Cool camera angles and shots, though.

AH, THE PRINCESS DIARIES!!! What an EPIC little Disney film.
That's kinda how I felt when I saw Robert Carmine naked, too.
