These people are not only idiots but liars to boot. First of all, Brokeback Mountain has made over $30 million (not the $25 they claim) and second of all, it only cost $14 million to make, which means it has made back more than twice what it cost to make, making it very profitable, much like their beloved Chronicles of Narnia.

Don't go see any of those movies that the evil Golden Globes (clearly an allusion to uncovered bosoms) honour though, they make baby Jesus cry!

whatever happened to "the jews run hollywood"?

now it's the fags?

it's so hard to keep up.

Film with a sociopolitical agenda is hardly a new phenomenon.

Oppress and people will speak back through art. No consiracy or mystery in that.

It's really Satan that runs Hollywood.

but jesus built my hotrod.

I was wondering why I am now a gay cowboy transgendered genious eccentric writer. It's because I saw all 3 films!

I'm going to watch King Kong tonight. Watch out Empire State Building!!!

You mean like Chronicles of Narnia?

I read all of those books as a kid. I felt so ripped off when I discovered that I had willingly exposed myself to proselytism. I was an overly serious child.

I bet you were.

Since when are those two groups mutually exclusive?





Go ahead, Boggy, bring it on... after all I couldn't have set you up any better....

This is my favourite quote from that article:“Once again, the media elites are proving that their pet projects are more important than profit,” Janice Crouse, of Concerned Puritanical Bitches for America, said.

How dare anyone in the movie business put anything above profit!

Damn good movie. What gets their goat (not that goat) is the idea that people can actually fall in love with each other regardless of gender and aren't all neatly categorizable.

Ding-a-ding, dang my dang long ling long.

...

Brokeback to the Future!: An exploration of forbidden love and the time-traveling cowboys who dare not speak its name.

thanks, Gawker.

's that what happened to s poonboy?

To give Cros nightmares...

In this movie, they ain't the only ones gettin fucked...

I have to agree with the Hollywood and turning gay thing...every guy I meat at The Cuff has seen at least one Hollywood movie. Coincidence? I think not...

West Hollywood makes Hollywood look like the Marlboro Man. Every guy there refers to every other guy as "she" or "her". I'm not homophobic (hey, some of my best friends are going to hell), but I felt like I was on another planet in West Hollywood.

What's it matter, sound guys are all queers.

Not What's his fuck.

Xit, the guy's not really sound - not really that queer, neither...

Yeah, it's the unsound, unfit and unstable ones that're straight.

"Sounds" like that Old, Bald, Boring fuck, 'cept for the 'not being gay' part...

I got that a lot in high school. I wonder if wearing glasses and being in AV club had something to do with it?

The real test that proves that sound guys are not queer is gay men have a lot more sex.

I can't refute Jack's parallel or deny Porio's infallible logic.

Everyone thought I was a lesbian in high school. Especially the gay guys. And my mom. I never got to know any sound guys. By the time I started encountering them, I was a vocalist, their natural enemy.

You're not our enemy anymore, we'll just slap this puppy on ya:

You know that pitch-jump thing Cher's voice does in that gay ass "do you believe" song? That was done by turning Auto-Tune on in the middle of one note.

The whole reason you have these boy bands and Britney is because of Auto-Tune (not my fault!). They use it live, too. Hardly any of them have good intonation naturally.

I can't hear you.
I need more monitor.

Ha! We fixed that one too by giving you your own damned monitor mixer. Want the guitar lower? Turn the knob!

Xit, I thought that was a vocoder they used?

Xit, you're right. I just researched it and they used a Digitech Talker in combination with a Nord lead to generate the carrier tones that followed her melody.

At the studio I used to work at one engineer told me they used Auto-Tune to do it, he must have not known what he was talking about. Auto-Tune works on the same principle as vocoding, it's just more high tech.

I'm not surprised a frequent client of the Cuff would know more about that Cher song than me.

There does seem to be a good reason for Jack's knowledge of all things Cher.

Who the fuck is Chair?

Actually, I've worked a vocoder once or twice...

"Work the vocoder" is a great euphemism for "polish the knob".

I've flung the flange too...

Slid the slider...

Twiddled the pan pots...

Or if you want to put subwoofer on it "put some chunk in the trunk".

Sounds more like somethin' CeeGee would do...

Badonkadonk!

I'd imagine it might sound something like that with some sort of squeal at the "end"...

OK, now I know what I missed by not joining the AV club.

AV club wasn't that bad. We may have been a bunch of loser propellor heads but at least we weren't gay! We weren't in theater, for Chrissakes!

I didn't join any of those gay clubs. I was too busy selling acid at the upper parking lot...

The ironic thing is that in High School, we didn't have an AV club, but I did the sound for all the Theater program's plays. Incidentally I did buy acid from one student in the parking lot...
