Brokeback Mountain only won three awards, no Best Picture, and <\/span>Annie is pissed<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Blaming everything except the quality of the movie, she goes off on the academy, the winning movie \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Trash – excuse me – Crash,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and even the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dim LA crowd.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And she praises the Independent Spirit Awards, which gave Brokeback Mountain the Best Picture, saying that they judge on MERIT.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And she ends with this: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153For those who call this little piece a Sour Grapes Rant, play it as it lays.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So here we are, playing it as it lays. I liked Brokeback. Thought it was pretty good. The three like-minded, gay-friendly, tolerant people I saw it with didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like it very much. I think the most common description was, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153boring.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I guess that for some people who AREN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T shocked or upset by homosexuality, but aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t homosexual themselves, the movie just wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that big a deal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Honestly, if Heath Ledger hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually spit on his hand to lubricate his penis, I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even have thought it was very controversial. Big deal. Two guys cheating on their wives for twenty years. What else is new?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really tired of all the ink and emotion about the movie, so I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t post about it again, unless Proulx attacks Matt Dillon in the streets or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
