Wanktacular!
I was just watching a bit o’ The Falafel Factor (hey, when you’re staying in a hotel that offers about six channels, ugly choices are inevitable), and as if on cue who would Bill have on but Ned Flanders Michael Medved to share his pensees about Brokeback Mountain. Needless to say, the quality of the film was not discussed. Medved, after complaining about how the “insidious” tagline “love is a force of nature” “justifies adultery,” he hauled out a favorite wingnut talking point: Brokeback has made only a tenth of the new C.S. Lewis picture. Oddly, the fact that it hasn’t even been in wide release yet, or comparisons with the profitability as such conservative faves as Cinderella Man and The Great Raid were not brought up; I wonder why…
