The Ambigious World
It's funny, ST, that you would be so freaked out by a movie about two gay cowboys who happen to be in love with each other. I'm curious, I haven't ever heard of you react in such a way to a movie featuring gay men before. Is it the fact that they're cowboys and that shatters the macho image we all have? Or is it the critical acclaim the movie is recieving?
Remember that band, Erasure? Pretty gay, right? Don't they have an album called, "COWBOY?"
Perhaps it's all a metaphore anyway. A colonialist interpretation of the little bug inside us all daring us to be different in ridiculously drastic ways. Perhaps the nude male posterior is a simple statement that no matter how cool we think we are, no matter how on top of things, we all tend to let our asses show from time to time.
Peace and Love,

PS, By the way, I too would require a back-breaking to see this movie, but I'm not as pissed off as the people on morning radio seem to be. You'd think their heteroworld was about to colapse around their ears. In the 50's and 60's it was, "The Russians are coming!" and now in the Oaghts it's, "The gay's are coming!"
