Hot boy on boy action redux
Glenn's 14-year-old niece explains the success of "Brokeback Mountain": "It's a chick-flick with nothing but hot guys."
Well, duh. In December I linked to a happily married woman in Australia who explains "slash" to a film critic:
Just a comment about straight men and their wives not going to “Brokeback Mountain.” Jeffrey, their wives will be going with the other wives. The straight husbands can stay home, hon. I'm constantly amazed by the perception of many men, straight and gay, that women 'won't be attracted to guy/guy action.' Do these guys ever get out and ask women about this? Roger Ebert said it the other night on some show, and Roeper agreed. Women just 'don't get off on guys kissing.'(Which gave me a good excuse to revisit my crush on Antony Sher . . . .)“Well, hello. . . wrong. So so wrong. We just love it. Can't get enough. Not all of us to be sure, but sufficient numbers for there to be thousands of websites dedicated to the phenomen called 'slash.' Mostly derived from television shows and films, but many other fan fics and genuine gay romances.
”This is our movie...the slash movie we women have been waiting for forever.. . . ."

And it's all funny in itself, because the "action" amounts to less than 60 seconds when all is said and done.

A bit like Troy?
