  • The Verdict on Bruno?

    Matt --


    Spurring conversations about cowboys who cannot love one another because of society is one thing -- conversations about the stereotypes reinforced on screen in this movie are another.  I doubt there were many intelligent conversations outside major liberal big cities about the penis scenes and the sex scenes right off the bat. 


    I simply just doubt it.

  • The Verdict on Bruno?

    I respectfully disagree with the assertion that because it made $30 million that people, "...liked it."  A closer inspection of those numbers reveals a different story.  Bruno had its best night Friday night, followed by steep declines in revenue on both Saturday and Sunday.  Typically, Saturday is the day with the heaviest amount of moviegoers.  This could be a result of several factors, to be sure, but I think with the size of the drop (boxofficemojo.com) we can be assured that people were turned off, giving bad reviews to their friends.


    In general, I think Bruno is bad for gays.  Great article here.
