Overrated Movies (or "Why Does Everyone Like Tyler Durden?")

I'm going to have to go ahead and disgaree with you, here.

Brokeback Mountain, in my opinion, WAS a gimmick. It was a love story between two fags in the most unexpected of places and people.

First of all, this is not the first movie of it's kind. If you think it is, I encourage you to browse other gay/lesbian film titles. There are PLENTY out there. The only thing that made THIS movie unique is that they actually put it out in the mainstream.

Sure, it indicates that fags and dykes are being more accepted in society, but the film itself was nothing new and nothing profound. It was just a gimmick.

It was just another love story in my eyes. Another boring, bland love story.

Sorry. =/

How ya doing, buddy?
