Damn. That was Ryan Phillippe? The guy she kissed before she went on stage? You're right Stronzo. He's not aging well AT ALL. I can't believe I didn't recognize him.

It's what I call the "David Cassidy Syndrome" Chuck. Pretty boys with delicate features don't stand the test of time too well. Ah well, I'd still give him head.

Huh?

Is there a running competition between blacks and homosexuals?
Er, I was being facetious.

Hung9Mike?

Thanks. If Brokeback Mountain had won and I'd written 'Brokeback - in your face negroes' I suspect I'd be landed on as a racist.

Your last paragraph is perfect. I had the same reaction. And did you notice during the acceptance for best movie the message of the accepting individual was "tolerance"? I guess that doesn't quite extend over to the homos...:rolleyes:

You're critique of why the Academy couldn't give Brokeback the best film award (regardless of my personal views of the film's merit) are so precise I'm honored to read your post.

Thanks for verbalizing it, Richard
Hmmm. I wonder how a beautifully shot, incredibly acted, well-written anti-gay film would be received by the Academy? Remember, it's the Hollywood powers-that-be that prop a film like this up for reasons other than artistic merit.

OK, step back guys. I'm gonna eat mango sorbet off his nipples and stomach and alas...since you don't want any...

I think he looks great. He's 31 and not 21 now but I don't see that as a bad thing. My dreams of sodomy are still intact.

Sorcerer? She was stinko drunk. She's notorious for it at award ceremonies.

I still, however, think Bacall looked great.
It was more than that Stronzo. I wouldn't be surprised to see her in the "dead montage" in the next year or two. Yes, she loves her booze and has for decades.

I have to say I disagree. Ryan looked HOT on the red carpet. A prime example of what happens when a boy becomes a man. Boys turn into Sirs, Cubs turn into bears, and Twinks just get OLD.

It seems a pity to me, Dr. Dilznick, that the initial statement was made at all. Did you think it was clever?

Why, do you think, it's so offensive to us 'homos' when black people who've endured generations of precisely what we as gay people now endure find our black brothers often unsympathetic to our dilemma? It simply defies reason.

Our current social status mirrors your own (pre the 1960s) in every possible way.

'**sigh**' indeed.

I'm reminded of the old theory that everyone needs to think they're one step up the rung from the latest "in group" to deride. Even if you meant it tongue-in-cheek I think it was in extremely poor taste given the ratio of homosexual men posting on this board.

I googled Bacall last night Sorcerer because I was so unnerved by what you and I both saw.

Here's one link I found:

http://www.gossiplist.com/dirt/b/lauren_bacall.htm

However, you may well be right.

She does, however, look healthy as a horse to me.

I never understand how a Director wins in
his category, yet he doesn't garner enough
support for his picture to win!

Clooney is supposedly dating Terri Hatcher.
I think he likes women enough to bed them,
just not marry them. He likes a new menu
often.

Stronzo, your pix are fabulous!:wink:

Lauren Bacall should have seen what
cigarettes did to Bogey and quit a long
time ago. I'm a fan of hers, too.

if you say so..

No doubt it would be received precisely the way an anti-black beautifully shot, incredibly acted, well-written film would be:

For the hate-mongering crap it is.... kind of like Gibson's "Passion of the Christ".

Your analogy doesn't work. It's an oxymoron.

I've got a huge platonic crush on Clooney. I want him for my best friend. Figures Terri Hatcher and he are connected. She's a riot and you can tell she's the "genuine article". Clooney's just the bomb. I love how he doesn't seem to take it all seriously wtw.

Thanks... re pix. I have huge misgivings about leaving them there but thanks for the kind commentary.

Mrs. Lex is reading this very argument over on a Brokeback Mountain forum that she participates in (it has evolved into a pretty rich place to discuss sexuality, GLBT issues, Mixed Orientation Marriage, etc.). Many Queer posters there are "outraged" as Crash won (be there, done that with race they say) and BBM lost.

To which I say: What if you're Black AND gay like me? A minority within a minority if you will.

I would have love to have seen BBM win. But they seem to give the Oscar to the movie that punched the most people in the largest audience in the face. Sure BBM may have hit some of us harder, but it surely did not hit as MANY of us. Hopefully those times will change.

And let's remember these are the same people who have snubbed some really good movies for trash. At least this year, the movies nominated all had weight and were pretty well done.

Finally, let's embrace all who struggle and not agrue over who's trauma carries the heaviest post traumatic stress disorder.

"I hate those Fucking _________________________."

First it was women, Then Jews, then Black People and now Gays. Sad, but true.

But that's just what I mean about RP Lex.

"Twinks just get OLD". To me Ryan Phillippe is an aging twink.

It's a taste thing I guess.

Ah ha. See, when I think of that you describe, I see that happening to Justin Timberlake. He ain't goona look half as good a Ryan in 10 years (or maybe he will and I will eat crow). We'll see.

Sorry. I understand not everyone can look 21 well in to their 60's. I know he's getting older, but he's ONLY 31... What the hell happened? Is he a chain smoker? Drug or alcohol problem? What?

Now gimme back my gay card! Do you have any idea how much crap I went through to get that thing?

@Lex - I didn't watch the red carpet - just the two very brief shots during the awards show itself. They weren't very flattering, considering who it was. Now, as an average joe, yeah - he looked good!

I'm gonna risk it again - Who was that guy Clooney was with?

(Carries Ryan off to his room "It's ok babe, I'll protect you from all these queens, how 'bout a massage with a happy ending...you'd like that, wouldn't you?)
