Do you try to subtly detect possible Brokies?

"On the QT" measns secretly, or hushed-up. It was in common useage in the '40s and '50s. Suppose the letters are from the first and last letters of "quiet."
Been afraid to post Aguirre since the last time, when someone said his photo made him/her feel sick to his/her stomach...

Yes I do... now that you mention it. I never really realised it till now, but I do.
I'm upset cos a very good guy friend of mine who I thought may be the one straight male I know to like the film has told me he thought it was "crap. Good acting but the plot took too long to go anywhere." At this I was shocked and had to be like "the plot?" because I find that I'm so enrapted by the story, I tend to forget about superficial things like a plot. The worst was I was willing to be like "ok, fine, I understand" but then, after initially saying he didn't want to debate about it, he carried on explaining why it was so crap *grumble grumble* (we're not on the best of terms at the moment cos after that he was horrible about something else).

Here's an update: my friend emailed back and said "Yep." But I don't think that's significant, because my question to her hadn't been, "I'm starving. Wanna get something to eat?" Now, if she'd emailed back, "You bet," I would have been excited!

Newest update: My friend wrote back a longer message, in which she said (among other things):
As for Brokeback, I didn't think it was the greatest movie I've ever
seen, although I liked it a lot and see it as a very important movie.
Well, so much for that friendship!
Just kidding. As long as someone says they liked it, I don't hate them. Still, I'm baffled by how anybody can manage not to fall head over heels in love with it.

My best friend said it was ok and not worth another $8.00 to see it again. GASP! I could not believe she said that.
Like you, it amazes me that people don't love it as much as I do or the brokies all around here. I said this before.. we are kindered spirits on this board.
