The Wisdom of the Locker Room 1: Breakback Mountain

[f4f3]

I'm not going to see this, obviously (I paid money to see The Hulk, which Lee staged as a psychodrama about anger management and parental abandonment issues: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me).

Anyway, the locker room filled me in on it yesterday. Apparently:

1. Their is no prurient gay sex - only a few seconds of breasts, and "I've seen worse on East Enders"
2. Nothing happens. A lot. Then it doesn't happen again.
3. People were leaving half way through - a scandal.
4. It's not even a cowboy movie - they're fucking shepherds. "So they filmed in Aberdeen, then?")
5. "Award worthy? It wasn't even cinema worthy"
6. "So how was John Wayne?" "I've had better."

The locker room has spoken...

So, is the locker room the best place to get film reviews?
The tv advert for "Brokeback Mountain" amused me - totally devoid of any reference to the bit of the movie that is getting the most attention...

The Locker Room seems to be a deep font of masculine wisdom on all sorts of matters, from Sport (well, football) through religion (last night's referee was definitely a Mason/Opus Dei charter member) through relationships (that wumman's doin' ma fuckin' heid in) to personal grooming (jeezus, can you no leave some ai that after shave in the boattle, whit's wrang did ye cack yer knickers).

I intend to present the best nuggets here...
