Homosexuals Upset Over Humpback Mountain Review

J.J. Jackson* | January 9, 2006

“Jack, who strikes me as a sexual predator, tracks Ennis down and coaxes him into sporadic trysts.” - Gene Shalit “Today” Show

That got homosexuals in an uproar. Because as we all know you are not allowed to saying anything negative about their protected group right?

GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) wrote:

“but his baseless branding of Jack as a ’sexual predator’ merely because he is romantically interested in someone of the same sex is defamatory, ignorant and irresponsible.”

and

“[It is] equally irresponsible for NBC News to have given Shalit a platform for his gratuitously offensive comments.”

I’m sorry? But since when is someone giving their opinions of a movie “offensive”? The answer is when you don’t like a movie about gay cowboys.

Haven’t seen it. Have no desire to.

The problem here is that we are still operating in a time when saying anything negative about a protected group can get you in trouble with that protected group. Especially when that protected group is trying oh so hard to make their ways mainstream and fighting tooth and nail to do so. I hate to break it to GLAAD, but sexual predators are not solely non-homosexuals. Homosexuals are not pure as the wind driven snow.

And Heaven help you from their wrath if you dare have anything negative to say about even a fictional homosexual character.

Sorry that your ?great? movie gave him that impression. Maybe it?s right and maybe it?s not. More likely it is simply his opinion of how the character was portrayed.

How bad has it been for Humpback Mountain? So bad that the MSM has resorted to not focusing on the movie’s gross but rather it’s per screen take. In other words, make sure you put the film in areas only where you know people will go see it.

“The Ang Lee film, which follows the 20-year forbidden romance between two roughneck ranch hands, earned $13,599 per theater, compared with $9,305 for weekend winner “King Kong” and $8,225 for “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” - Yahoo News

However it has only grossed about $22.5 Million in a month (boxofficemojo.com)

Compare that to Narnia which has grossed $247,561,000 (boxofficemojo.com) which was released on the same date and King Kong which has grossed $192,522,000 (boxofficemojo.com) which was released 5 days later! Yes, they are on more screens but they are on more screens because the demand for those movies is there. Prepare to watch the take per theater for homosexual cowboys to decrease dramatically as it moves into wider release.

Humpback Mountain is not a run away hit except with the narrow crowd which it was expected to be. And if earnings per theater after cherry picking theaters for the best results is how homosexuals have to portray gay cowboys as a successful movie idea then let them keep thinking that they are in touch with the public.
