I agree with what one commenter posted; I’d love to see esr say this to Clooney’s face:
Don’t bother telling me what I’m supposed to feel about Brokeback Mountain or what a philistine I am for dismissing it out of hand, or why it would be good for me to see it. That’s exactly my point; I don’t want to pay $9.00 to see a movie because somebody else thought it would be good for me. I buy entertainment from Hollywood, not moral prescriptions, and if Hollywood now thinks its job is to improve my character it can just fuck off.
LOL!
