I'll purchase BROKEBACK by the end of the week. I have a closeted buddy who won't see it in the theater but who wants to come see it at my place.

No, this is not a date.

Of course. The viewing is clearly for research purposes.

That's a little surprising to me. It would seem that, given all the "mainstream" accolades that this film received, that this is the one "gay" movie that a closeted man could see in safety.

Mainstream accolades or not, I didn't see that many other guys in the theater when Marlene and I went to go see Brokeback. Heck, if she hadn't been there, I honestly would not have gone simply because of the stigma attached to the film.

And what "stigma" would that be? That any guy who goes to see it is automatically branded as a queer?

Seems like all that "stigma" really held it back at the box office....

Which is, by the way, is the same reason I made my earlier comment which prompted you to say I didn't "understand the dynamics" of the situation.

I think what Killkony is saying is that if he didn't take his woman he would have gone to the movie with a hot guy and made out durring the sexy parts. He's afraid THAT would get him called a "queer".

Sorry, I forgot that my circumstances are different. Private Christian university dominates the town with students who enjoy protesting things and going to "sinful" areas to mock sinners. Pain in the ass.

I was also trying to be sympathetic for your friend, but I guess I missed the mark.

A Massachusetts correctional officer is being disciplined for showing the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" to inmates at the state's largest prison because his boss determined that the film includes content inappropriate for a prison setting.

Massachusetts Department of Correction spokeswoman Diane Wiffin said Saturday that the action was not related to the critically acclaimed film's plot involving a gay love affair.

"It was not the subject matter. It was the graphic nature of sexually explicit scenes," Wiffin said.

She said the officer, whom she declined to identify, failed to follow prison guidelines that require staff who schedule films to review them in advance for excessive violence, nudity or sex, as well as scenes involving assaults on correctional staff.

• Get ready for "I Wish I Knew How to Quit You - the Aria."
  
  The New York City Opera has commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," the 1997 short story by Annie Proulx on which the 2005 Oscar-winning movie was based.
  
  The opera is scheduled to premiere in 2013, the company said yesterday.
