Re-Riding Brokeback Mountain
Posted on January 2nd, 2006 in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »
In the Times, Larry David weighs in on the subject of “Brokeback Mountain”:
I haven’t seen “Brokeback Mountain,” nor do I have any intention of seeing it. In fact, cowboys would have to lasso me, drag me into the theater and tie me to the seat, and even then I would make every effort to close my eyes and cover my ears.
And I love gay people. Hey, I’ve got gay acquaintances. Good acquaintances, who know they can call me anytime if they had my phone number. I’m for gay marriage, gay divorce, gay this and gay that. I just don’t want to watch two straight men, alone on the prairie, fall in love and kiss and hug and hold hands and whatnot. That’s all.
Before everyone gets upset…he’s joking, people. Making fun of himself. Just like, um, certain bloggers I know….

Are certain bloggers you know as worried as Larry David is in the part of the essay you don’t quote about the possibility that seeing the movie will breach the “dike” of latent gayness he’s been holding back all these years and allow his true nature to see the light of day?

Larry David’s gay?
Well, he did do a pretty good job in that performance of The Producers….
