No cool cowboy movies? I beg your pardon sir!  What about a little film entitled:

Every Which Way But Loose.

It has fightin' cowboys, Ruth Gordon with a shotgun AND an orangutan.

Good Day to you, Sir.

If I'm going to watch a gay cowboy movie, I want it to be Carson Kressley Of Queer Eye, who is "an avid nationally ranked equestrian and a former member of the U.S. World Cup Equestrian Team," riding around on a hoss in really nice clothes.  Otherwise, I'll pass.

Edit:  OK, since when can't we type the common name of Equus caballus and not have it messed with?  It's one thing not to be able to talk about trousers and automata unmolested, but leave the mammals alone!

Well, the Dallas Cowboys absolutely do suck.

But movies like:

Outlaw Josey Wales
Little Big Man
The Cowboys
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence

Do not.

Are you serious? Man, now all my jokes about his shopping at a colorblind rodeo clown's yard sale come back to haunt me. I'm never gonna be able to picture the man again without bronco-bustin' being involved.

One Upon a Time in the West gave me a hard-on.

Bareback Mountain is actually not a bad film, it's just not that great of a film.  If it were about a heterosexual relationship it would have been melodramatic and blah, but since it had man-on-man action then of course we must applaud it or be thought homophobic.

It is possible to be critical of something about homosexuality without being critical of homosexuality.  I mean, neither Gyllanhaal or Ledger are gay anyway.

Also, what's wrong with being critical of homosexuals?  No one has a right to not be offended.  Let's not forget that.

Fuck everyone.

Come on people, Invitation to a gunfighter? No? Shame on you all.

Roger: I was exagerating a bit in my first post, I am well aware there are good comics out there, I've even read a few of them, I was just trying to create a contrast between problems now and problems then.

I haven't seen Brokeback mountain and probably won't but is anyone else just waiting for someone who can actually make a big budget movie in hollywood to have a gay romance and have that not be the whole point? If the trailer makes it clear that the point of this movie is 'it's a real bitch being a gay cowboy' and the actual movie doesn't give you anything else then it's just a waste, of course there are plenty of straight romances that do this too but I don't watch them either. Even most romances these days are romantic comedies so there's something extra there.
Oh actually, if there is a gunfight or something I'd be down with that.
I could see Clint Eastwood being in a tasteful gay cowboy movie.

Didn't Eastwood play a gay character in "Million Dollar Baby"?  Weren't he and Morgan Freeman lovers?

I thought that was handled pretty well in the film.

Anyone thinking that cowboys are lame should read "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy (*apparently* Ridley Scott is gonna shoot the movie version, which is of course a sin before God, but the upside to that is that we can always ignore Hollywood).

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

Oh great, now I'm stuck with the image of those two wrinkled old farts rubbing together.

Thanks, Jough.

Gay cowboys? I don't know what the fuss is all about, in Brazil we've had this cute little cartoon about gay cowboys for about 15 years now...

(I guess no one needs to know Portuguese in order to understand what's going on in that strip.)
