And MsG, I didn't miss that little comment about the porn, will get back to it in a bit, especially since you a little loosey-goosey at the mo. :)— January 17, 2010 3:44 p.m.

Daniels, for Godsakes, what, you would have Holly turn to the man to redeem her??? The cat is Holly, Holly is the cat. She is throwing herself away. She doesn't even care about the guy, lets him get out of the cab, no sweat. She doesn't go after the guy, she goes after the cat: She rescues the cat, herself. Anyway, why am I arguing with you? Whatever. Have it your way. Call the ASPCA, sheesh.— January 17, 2010 3:40 p.m.

I think I could make an argument on your basis, Daniels, and that is, that making a conventional film about gay lovers that is so convincingly conventional is groundbreaking in itself, but in this movie, these are cowboys, the great iconic rugged male; the movie is a tragedy on so many levels, not just star-crossed lovers which is the convention you point out, but star-crossed lovers who can't admit to anyone that they are lovers, and that is where they move into the unconventional, star-crossed lovers who can't admit they are in love, even to themselves, star-crossed lovers in a time when gay lovers were even less accepted than they are now, and who are cowboys, I think that is where they break ground. That is what makes this movie great, because it is both unique and universal. But hey, what do I know?— January 17, 2010 3:36 p.m.

Daniels is taking advantage of us, MsG!!!! Okay, commercial: Won't argue Brokeback at the mo, but as for Breakfast, and the cat: Holly has no other way to prove to herself that she isn't the person she wants to believe she is; when she rescues the cat, she rescues herself. That is her redemption. Shoot, game is on!!!!!!!!!!!— January 17, 2010 2:41 p.m.

You guys are making it hard to watch the game!!!!!!! Wrong on all counts re Brokeback, Daniels -- Even if that had been a guy and a girl in the flick, it would have been beautiful, nothing commonplace about it. Lost in Translation was a love story, and I thought the characters were spot on. Witness was great because of the tension between the two worlds, I think that film was perfect in so many ways, but particularly in that sense. Now, if you didn't like Breakfast at Tiffany's you are a lost cause!!!!!— January 17, 2010 2:14 p.m.

What about the scene in Moonstruck, where they are standing outside his apartment, and Cage makes that great speech? "Loretta, I love you. Not, not like they told you love is and I didn't know this either. But love don't make things nice, it ruins everything! It breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect, stars are perfect. Not us! Not US! We are here to ruin ourselves and...and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and...and DIE...I mean, I mean the storybooks are bulls--t. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and...and GET in my bed. Come on, come on, come on."— January 17, 2010 1:24 p.m.

LOLOL You guys are too funny! Daniels: Four Weddings -- Andie MacDowell, killer of almost every movie she's ever been in, I mean worst reading of lines in cinematic history -- "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed." *banging head with hammer to ease pain* When Harry Met Sally -- You really need me to explain this one? Really?? Okay, Meg Ryan is a f'in twerp, and WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT THAT LITTLE WEASEL????? Not to mention the orgasm scene is the worst ever ever ever! An Affair to Remember got the extra shot to the eye because it is mentioned in Sleepless as a movie women cry over -- puh-leeeeeeze!!!!! I only cried that I ever watched that piece of worthless junk movie!!!— January 17, 2010 12:49 p.m.
