Hey funboys, take that
You knew it was coming. “Brokeback Mountain” is finally meeting some friction after weeks of good press.
Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller, who prefers point guards who wear shorts that leave little to the imagination (see image), pulled the film from his movie theater in suburban Salt Lake City right before it was to open on Friday, according to the AP.
A message posted at the ticket window read: “There has been a change in booking and we will not be showing Brokeback Mountain. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
Yes, Miller is indeed a member of the Mormon Church, a group that isn’t exactly known for its fondness of homosexuals. I’ll let you figure out the rest.
On top on that comes news that “Capote,” and not “Brokeback,” has been honored as the best movie of 2005 by the National Society of Film Critics. Philip Seymour Hoffman also beat out Heath Ledger for the society’s Best Actor prize for his portrayal of Truman Capote.

Are you saying Stockton looks gay?

Yeah I don’t get it. Stockton chose to wear his funboy pants, not Larry Miller, and that’s just because he was old school. Karl Malone wore the standard NBA gravediggers.
Although I do agree with your general point, that Larry Miller is a homophobe and should be run over by a bus (you may not have been stressing the bus part as much, but I felt it man). Seriously, it’s not gay porn dude. Lighten up.
