Anyone else sick of having gay cowboys shoved down their throat?

It feels like everywhere I turn there’s a glowing story about Brokeback Mountain.

And now it just won viagra medicine 0, buy viagra 5142956.story?coll=ny-entertainment-headlines”>Four Golden Globes.

(Two additional Golden Globes were given to people for playing a gay writer. And a transexual man. I have nothing against gays, writers, or transexuals, but isn’t enough enough?)

Doesn’t it seem like the movie critics, the press, and the award shows are pushing this movie a little too hard?

Brokeback Mountain is NOT a breakaway cross-over hit.

To date it’s made $32,074,517.

In the same six week period Memoirs of a Geisha made $47,314,182, but no one is calling it a hit.

Hell, Fun With Dick & Jane made $94,245,955 in just FOUR weeks.

In the exact same six week period that Brokeback Mountain has been out, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe made $264,020,859!

Now THAT is a cross-over, breakaway hit.

Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against gays AND I’m an agnostic not a Christian, but I find it funny that there’s been so much commentary about what Brokeback Mountain’s “success” means and very little talk about the significance of Narnia’s truly huge box office.
