NWFlyer 2 #57 December 17, 2005 QuoteI'll be patient as long as you hurry up I have plans to see it tomorrow afternoon, I promise! My friend and I have been talking about seeing it for months; we even tried to go last Tuesday till we realized it only opened in a few cities (and Seattle wasn't one of them). I'm a little disappointed that they're only showing it in two theaters on Capitol Hill (Seattle's gay neighborhood). I guess they're just assuming that it's going to have a limited audience, which makes me sad, because it sounds like such a great story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #58 December 17, 2005 QuoteI'm a little disappointed that they're only showing it in two theaters on Capitol Hill Yeah I heard somewhere they were releasing in only 25 additional theatres each week until it's fully released early next year.

NWFlyer 2 #59 December 17, 2005 QuoteMarketing ploy or caution I dunno. Well, then it'll be interesting to see what theaters it ends up in eventually (assuming if it gets good box office it'll expand). I hope to see it out in the burbs.

Don't be afraid, I don't bite . . . much And they didn't smoke crack they smoked pot so perhaps you meant 'Smoke Pot Mountain' *** Well...okay...if ya promise not to bite! I thought it was a fairly well written and VERY well acted screenplay. As a remedial student of theatre my assessment is that it has all the elements and they're in the right place for a commercially successful movie. The cinematography is top drawer, which is probably why I went in the first place. I think the story could have been stronger in a few places regarding character interaction between the main subjects as well as those around them. I don't think there was enough time spent on character development, which no doubt accounts for the 'at times' shallow interaction. From a gay person's point of view, you mentioned that you thought they didn't elaborate enough on that aspect of their personalities.... From my straight perspective, I really didn't see that as a plot point of the movie at all. Instead, I thought the story was more about living a life of personal compromise, trying to fit in, and how living a 'lie' cheats not only you but those around you. To that end, the movie could have easily been about interracial marriage or white collar drug addiction...the 'loving male' relationship angle generates more interest and reaction, therefore is more marketable...after all..Hollywood! Not really 'my' kind of movie...I've seen worse, but I think it could have been better. OUCH!!!!!! Hey!
