Dulcinea had to explain a few things to me.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">One thing. The shirt thing. It might have been a throwaway line if you didn't know already what had happened.

And I apologize. I know I tensed up a little in advance of the "big" scenes, like when Ennis was going into the post office. I could not help it.

What are apologizing for? It's not your fault!

Was that cincygreg we saw in the front row? Remember, you were going to get a closer look when the movie ended.

Well, it certainly looked a lot like him.

And he was squirming quite a bit during the Incredibly Hot Kiss sequence.

I have the short story as a Word file, if anybody is interested in reading it.

Also, I would be interested in feedback on the review. Did anyone besides Reason read it? Did it influence your opinion on the movie? If you did read it, did you highlight the "hidden" portion?

I did go see Glory Road, the story of the Texas Western team that won the National championship with 5 black starters (first time that had been done). Very interesting movie. I liked it. Story line takes place in the mid sixties during the civil rights movement and follows all the way through the recruiting of these players to El Paso Texas and what they went through during the entire season.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I just now read the hidden part. There was one sex scene. I've seen worse on FX, cable television. But if you're uncomfortable with dudes going at it, then you will probably feel uncomfortable despite the fact they left you filling in the blanks.

Two kissing scenes, I think, and two scenes where they are laying together.

I thought the sex was minimal and put in only to tell the story. Not gratuitous as is so often the case in today's movies.

I must admit that I was wrong all this time and things like this cartoon are just not true.

I read my first review yesterday and found out that this movie is not a gay cowboy movie at all. The two guys were fucking sheep herders, the movie had nothing to do with cows.

It?s one thing to be tolerant about someone?s sexual preference, but calling fucking sheep herders cowboys has taken political correctness to far. John Wayne must be rolling over in his grave.

2. cowboy - a performer who gives exhibitions of riding and roping and bulldogging

If you saw the movie, you'd know that one of the two main characters, Jack, made his living in the beginning (unsuccessfully) at the rodeo. It was at the rodeo where he met his wife.

Both were hired ranch hands, taking whatever ranching job they could get. As it turns out, that summer they herded sheep.

So it probably would behoove you to not get your underwear all bunched up because they herded sheep, not cattle in the movie, particularly since the movie spanned a couple decades and that particular summer was the only one where it showed the characters actually with sheep.

The character Ennis continued as a ranch hand throughout the movie. He spoke of having to be at "round ups" but I don't recall what exactly he was rounding up. I just presumed cattle.

BBM was once again a top ten movie last week, with over $7mm in revenues, bringing the cumulative domestic total to over $30mm.

It must be hard (no pun intended)when you have to hang so much on one movie.
