'Brokeback' Ushers In Movies with Gay Characters
The box-office success of Brokeback Mountain has opened the door for other gay characters in movies, a fact that will be particularly obvious this weekend when The Night Listener, starring Robin Williams as a gay writer, opens wide, while two other films, Quinceañera and Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery open in limited release, the Los Angeles Daily News observed today (Thursday). Chad Allen, who stars as a gay detective in Shock to the System, told the newspaper that until Brokeback, "There was a huge fear or belief that you couldn't tell a story with a gay hero and have it make money. A well-made movie with a good story trumps everything. It's not just a victory for gay rights; it's a victory for humanity."
I... I... WTF? It speaks for itself how fucking ridiculously stupid this article is. Not to mention sort of offensive and insulting to the makers of Brokeback Mountain. If Brokeback Mountain is the reason claptrap like I Know Pronounce You Larry & Chuck is being made then I'm scared for Ang Lee's wellbeing.
Also from IMDb, Rob Shneider says something worthwhile!! It took a while, but it happened. Wallow while it lasts.

Haha, are you surprised? IMDb continually posts the stupidest headlines (and news), it's just scary at this point.
