    Yea I agree with you on Cinderella Man. I was so ****ed that Clooney beat Giamatti for best supporting actor. Freakin Oscars, so worthless. FUPISCHCU them!

    The reason why its getting so much hype is because it is one of the first serious gay romance movies out there...and thats it.
    Not true at all. There have been several.

    True... but I think the controversy here came from Gyllenhall and Ledger, two well known, STRAIGHT actors playing gay men. That in itself drew a lot of attention. Oddly, I just watched Gyllenhall in JARHEAD and I don't think I've seen a more macho man movie in some time.

    heehee... does anyone remember the scene in JARHEAD with the Field F*ck? I wonder if that wasn't prescient...

    Jarhead was f*cking awesome! I love that flick - the book is even better. One thing with the movie is that a lot of the narration by Swoff is taken out (very evident in the field f*ck sequence) as well as a lot of the background to the man himself.

    However I thought it was a great movie, and I'm so glad it focussed on the Gulf War instead of trying to ham up some connection with the current war in Iraq - it's funny to see people bitching that there isn't a connection, but the book never had that connection and Mendes himself has stated they were never going for that - it'd be stupid - Jarhead is about the 1990 conflict after all!

    My favourite bit came before the field f*ck - the football game - it was hilarious in the book and it's really cool to see it realised on the screen. It's a really great movie ... flicks like Apocalypse Now or The Deer Hunter etc really define that period - Jarhead (and I guess Three Kings) are movies which really define the Gulf War...I wonder how the Iraq conflict going on now will be realised in 10 years time?

    That is why I said it is ONE of the FIRST serious gay movies out there. And it is certainly the FIRST with so much hype...

    The scene where Dr. Logan reaches for the headphones and Bub "lovingly" grabs his arm....followed by Logan smiling - the music there is perfect; changes EVERYTHING!

    But it's definitely not one of the first. It did get alot of hype, however.

    It is very funny. I showed it to my co-workers whom had never seen Day of the Dead, but had seen Brokeback mountain and they laughed.


    I found out the song. The Wings by Gustavo Pastaolloa

    Awwww...

    And I really must see this Brokeback Mountain thingy, it looks like a quality film and it's got Gyllenhaal in it - who is one of the best new actors of our (I mean my) generation.
    ive often wondered why logan dosn't revive.. i mean he clearly has no head injuries when bub finds him and rhodes only shoots him in the body.. so why?

    it would of been more dramatic if bub had found him and he was a mindless zombie..
