The single most incomprehensible review of Brokeback Mountain I've ever read.

Seriously, folks: worth a look. Even I, who spend a frighteningly large percentage of my time reading the ravings of Town Hall columnists, can't begin to figure out what this guy's point is.

town hall roundup, politics, movies

I sort of followed it for a while, but when he started talking about having "overcome" unwanted homosexual advances like it was cancer or something, my eyes started to glaze over. When he started talking about how God is the mountain, or we have to show God our mountain, or whatever that last section was about, I had to go take a nap.

Could God make a burrito so big even he couldn't eat it?

::CHOKE::

Oh my GOD...

I think his point is something along the lines of "People shouldn't be mean to gay people, so I liked the movie, except gay people don't really exist except as psychiatric patients, so I didn't like the movie, except we still shouldn't be mean to gay people, so I liked the movie, except God can cure gay people, so I didn't like the movie, and by the way, I have a really big mountain."

This is priceless. I'm reposting, I hope you don't mind.

Not at all. Spread the incomprehensibility.

"Hello everybody. I am Zach Braff wearing an Andy Samberg wig. Don't hate me people just because I they want a male friend so badly that I they think they really, really want thick, veiny, moist, throbbing cock. Unless you're God, in which case it's your right. God is fucking huge. Tell the mountain."

Ha ha, MAAAAN.

Also, yeah...at the end there, is he suggesting that you tell your dick how powerful God is?

I guess if I could accept that a mountain was proof of an invisible Superman, I could accept that talking to my penis would make it not want a butt around it.

...a truly monumental piece of batshittery.

My favorite bit is this particularly ham-fisted piece of proselytizing:

"But if God really is who he says he is..."

That's like the Pope stopping in the middle of a speech about Jesus and saying: "That's assuming, of course, that this isn't all bullshit..."

So when has this God chap been talking to him? Did He turn up on this fool's doorstep one morning and just claim to be the Supreme Creator? Or maybe He whispers during the quieter moments on Christian Radio?
