Brokeback as an Anti-Gay Polemic : essay by W.C. Harris
Artiste:
Thanks Clyde!
Many or most films have no tie-ins as Walt Disney figurines did, and others!! You want a rubber Ennis or Jack?? Life size, I would want them!! You have good ideas about making your own!!
Concerning Annie not making more, she is straight female?? Why did she really make that story?? Really?? She is afraid
in some ways!! ??
Larry would not want likely to continue since he made his money and does not prefer to think of giving his money away now?
You have my thanks for contacting Annie.
Maybe now we can make our own BM II ?? Did you see so many, even gays, refused that when I mentioned it: that I wanted sequel, or BMII??
Except for copyrights, a similar film can be done. Who will have the guts to do so?? Gay ones, I hope this time...
what do you say? An less anti-gay one!! ??
Hugs!!

--- Quote from: Clyde-B on January 14, 2008, 12:48:51 am ---If they were only interested in making money, where are the marketing tie-ins? Many of us here have complained of the absence of BBM merchandise and have even resorted to making our own.
Also where are the sequels? I personally wrote to Annie Proulx and begged her to complete the saga of Ennis's life and she politely refused.
Larry McMurtry was asked if there would be a sequel and was reportedly quoted as saying that was the stupidest idea he'd ever heard.
It's been two years. They have the track record and the clout, and yet there is still nothing in the pipeline.
--- End quote ---
I personally would love a completion of the story. The lost years before Ennis and Jack met, the lost years in between, the lost years after Jack's death. Perhaps there is no sufficient market to justify the expense. Perhaps the writers have lost interest.
Artiste:
Yes, brokeplex, so would I, but who has the guts: straights again to do that?
Why do we gays always let straights do OUR work??
Maybe we gays, could turn this film around from anti-gay somewhat to become more pro-gay?
Hugs!!
brokeplex:
Can the "Brokeback Mountain" universe be franchised, like the "Star Wars" universe was by Lucas? If so, there will be writers at work more fully completing the saga.
Artiste:
Brokeplex, Star Wars were a serie of books!
So far Annie created ONLY ONE BM story!! And refuses to continue... it seems.
So what will/would you do??
Keep on with this essay as possibilties?? As... such, as for movie potential?
Hugs!
