Mr Chubs,
‘No One’s Gonna Love You Like Me’ (no one else, can’t you see…..)
don’t take it personal  ;)
I’m seeing ‘The New World’ next week, anyone seen it?<br>longing to see Colin Farrell making it out with Pocahontas, although I’d rather see him getting it on with Brad Pitt – boy would we be queuein’ up.:cool:
Sal,
An interesting analogy and not one many  people would have thought of, but it’s a theme that can be related to a lot of relationships, people who for one reason or another just cannot get together in the way they would like.
Also,  and forgive me if you already know this, but the screenplay is adapted from the short story written by middle aged female Western writer Annie Proulx, and I doubt she had Charles and Camilla in mind when she wrote it though :cool:  <br>She based it on observations she made  of an old cowboy in a bar in some western town who she felt may have had something in common with the characters she wrote about.   ÂÂÂ
Otherwise you’ve given a good synopsis of the storyline although I would disagree on it being an on-off affair.  It was always on, they just couldn’t see each other that often.
Sal, what did you think of the soundtrack?  every song with every scene had a meaning, although much is easily missed on a sole viewing.  <br>I find this film quite masculine, dour, rough and raw, but with some real tender moments.   I think women generally love it, but having dragged my husband along he’s suffered it 6 times now, still only gives it 6/10 – but I ain’t stoppin’ there !

thanks for that posting – enjoyed reading it.  I think we’re all agreed.:)

"It just never crossed my innocent mind that so many females would get a kick out of one good-looking bloke buggering another"
Clearly you’ve never heard of the ‘gay male trapped in a straight woman’s body’ syndrome.  :cool: ÂÂÂ
Agree the film lacked humour, one of it’s downfalls, particularly for a British audience I feel.<br>As for it’s authenticity, surprisingly a good few people seem to identify with it.  I have a friend in the States, a former rancher, who’s life is mirrored in this film.
Have you seen Narnia ?  I fell asleep during that Adam and Eve based claptrap. ÂÂÂ
Hi zilzal
People will always want to see critically acclaimed films to judge for themselves.  Can’t see anything wrong with that, whether they enjoy it as much is for them to judge.  Obviously it didn’t hit with you.  ÂÂÂ
It’s a film made every bit as much for the female audience as any other group [they usually drag their boyfriends along do they not?], with the casting of 2 hunky young men.  The characters in the short story that this film is based on, seem nowhere near as photogenically blessed.  ÂÂÂ
If you go see it during the afternoon, you will find the audience very mature, even geriatric.  Amazed the number of people, some barely able to walk, turning up to see it.
If you can appreciate such as Pride and Prejudice, North and South, Wuthering Heights, then providing you can tolerate the rawness, and rough language found here,  you are still left feeling the effects of what is another heartaching love story.
Did you manage to grasp the dialogue by the way?  I’ve had to see it several times to get all of it, the accents being so strong.<br>    <br>

You should be right up there yourself amongst the leaders to be honest, with all the good work you do on here which often keeps the place alive.
One or two on the ‘poll’ shouldn’t be there in my opinion and a serious omission on my part to have left you off my list and I apologise for that, for what it’s worth.

The world’s most virulent disease is that possessed by homophobes.
Few on here with it, by the looks of things,<br>
Bobby Law, a leader of the London Rail Union, looked hot and fit  [to anyone over 25 that means pretty sexy],  when interviewed the other day in a fetching grey jacket with shocking pink shirt [no tie].  <br>Doubt anyone could describe him as anything less than  butch and nice to see someone so confident  without the need to question.

Why did you not comment on the Male Hugging thread?  You could have added something to the debate as there seemed to be one or two confused people on there quite worried about touching each other.
As you’ve been gay for ‘a few years now’, what were you before may I ask?  just wondered.<br>
