It seems the hate that dare not speak its name just couldn't shut up any longer about the hit movie "Brokeback Mountain" which opens at even more theaters across America this Friday.
Perhaps my favorite bit of pseudo-science from the extremist groups:
Baehr said gay films usually do poorly at the box office. This film may do slightly better, he said, because of the box-office draw of the stars — Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.Putting aside the question of how Kinsey is a "gay movie," click on this Google link and just see how "badly" Brokeback is doing in the review (hint: It's a blockbuster).
" 'Kinsey,' a movie about sexologist Alfred Kinsey, got only $8 million at the box office, which was pathetic. The average homosexual movie averages only 600,000 dollars," Baehr said. "To put that in context for people, at six dollars a ticket, that's a hundred thousand people. In a country of 295 million people, it doesn't even register."
As for the pseudo-science about "gay movies" only earning $600k at the box office, Brokeback has already earned nearly that much IN ONLY FIVE THEATERS:
Focus Features’ “Brokeback Mountain” debuted in five theaters and grossed an estimated $544,549. Helmed by Ang Lee, the drama about a love affair between two ranch hands in Wyoming averaged an impressive $108,910 per theaterWhen in doubt in fundie land, lie lie lie.
