Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > Brokeback Mountain Open Forum
Kudos to Bravo for doing as they said with rpt. BBM !!!
BayCityJohn:
I don't know who the censor was, but if I find out you'll be the first to hear about it.
Artiste:
WE must find out ?
And who the owners are too ?
Artiste:
WWW II all over again, and most are blinded now again with Brokeback Mountain film being censored to-day ?
Where is the outcry ? ONLY optom and a few care ?

All of the advertising I read for the broadcast was from GLAAD.
I'm not saying they had any knowledge of what would be edited, but it seems like they were taken advantage of.
Here's a quote from GLAAD:
That edit of the tent scene doesn't feel accurate or inclusive, and it sure as hell doesn't seem fair.

but see to the "gay community" Brokeback Mountain wasn't accepted. They mocked it, remember? Remember at the SAG awards how Sean Hayes sneered at it? so for them it is not included in their lists of 'great gay movies'. They are thinking of 'Capote' and such....

The tent scene was all hacked to hell, and yet the scene with Jack and Lureen in the backseat of the car was nearly fully intact. They all but cut out the tent scene (one of the most important scenes in the entire movie IMO). Once Ennis said to Jack "What are you doing" they cut to the OUTSIDE of the tent.
We stilll have a LONG WAY to go here in the good ole' USA. And BRAVO (a very pro gay channel) just once again proves this fact. ::) >:(

Yeah, I can't believe they left the scene with Lureen and Jack untouched while they cut the tent scenes! Unbelievable. I barely recognized my beloved Brokeback on Bravo last night!
