Medvedism With Bad Math
By It was only a matter of time before Jason Apuzzo, the Lenny Kravitz of right-wing Stalinist aesthetics, weighed in on Brokeback Mountain. And he doesn’t disappoint; as TBogg notes, he innovatively combines the “I’m sure this movie is overpraised because the cowboys are gay, although it’s a movie by a major director with good actors and a good screenwriter adapting a first-rate short story and I haven’t seen it” theme with the always risible “damned blue-state parasites leeching off hard-working Middle Americans, if only California and New York could be as self-reliant as Alaska or Alabama” bullshit. So while I don’t like Apuzzo’s chances of getting to direct another movie, he should get a nice golden parachute from Regnery any day now…
