My SO needs to educate his associates better

[tiggymalvern]

We just went to the (very nice indeed) seasonal dinner of local geeks. At the dinner, while talking about films, I bemoaned the fact that this afternoon we turned up at 1.05pm to see the 1.30 showing of Brokeback Mountain, and found a queue all around the corner and didn't get in ::sniff::

Geek 1: Which movie's that?
Geek 2: Oh, that's the gay cowboy movie.
Geek 1: Why would you want to go and see that?
Me: Well, let me see now....

How long has this geek spent prowling around the internet for bizarre things? And he's managed not to fall over slash? 0_0

The evening would have been better if we hadn't found a parking ticket on the car when we got back. We paid, dammit! We put our money in the box for our stall number! Go screw yourselves for your parking fine, bitches!

Geek 1: Why would you want to go and see that?

Dear lord, why wouldn't we?

I have to admit that was my first reaction. I mean, ignoring the fact that it's 'the gay cowboy movie', it's a film that's got a lot of good reviews - rottentomatoes gives it 87% fresh. Even if I wasn't slashily-inclined, I'd probably still go to see it because Ang Lee makes great films (if you ignore the Hulk *cough*)

Exactly, that's why I wanted to see it, because it's supposedly a really great film.
