My wife was watching it. I was goofing on the web, and managed to avoid observing any moments of physical intimacy.

The guy who died - the dark-haired one - did he die when a tire exploded, as his wife said, or was he fag-bashed to death, as the hazy video accompanying her phone conversation suggests? If the latter, had he degenerated into a randomly cruising crankhog?

Oh for Christ sake guys, just go rent the movie. It's really not a bad flick and there are only two or three ICKY scenes. Just go get you beer during those. The rest of the movie has a good story line with excellent acting.

I promise, it won't make you ghey if you watch it.

Beaten to death. Cover story was that the "spare tire exploded".

Take out the gay and it was a pretty decent western move. Anne Hathaway is hot.

I had every intention of finally watching it tonight. The second time the blond guy came into the tent and they started lip locking I had to turn it off. Just couldn't do it.

What I don't get is WHY? I've slept in a tent with another guy a number of times on camping trips. Never once had a thought of snuggling up close. Why are we supposed to believe these two cowpokes decided to go to the freaky side? It seemed to happen so suddenly, like once the seal was off the idea, they both just jumped into it. I didn't get any plot development that even suggested that. I just didn't find it credible.

Hell, if I didn't have an inkling of what was going to happen I would have assumed that one of them would have gone after one of the sheep first . . .

I can't say that I've researched this in detail, but they do leave it kind of nebulous. From Wiki:

An unspecified amount of time later, a postcard Ennis sent to Jack is returned stamped "Deceased." In a telephone conversation, Lureen tells Ennis that Jack died while changing a tire that exploded. Her explanation of the incident is overlaid with images of Jack being beaten brutally by three men; it is possible to interpret this as either Ennis's fear of what actually happened (inspired by his experience of the homophobic murder in his childhood) or a portrayal of what Lureen knows to be Jack's real fate, the account she relates being a sanitized version of her husband's demise.

So it's really left up to the viewer how he dies.

That movie fucking sucked. Yup, I watched it - but I got laid after it for the first time by my still present gf.

I kinda tried to watch it with an open mind, but I thought the whole thing just kinda lacked. The plot was fucking boring.

I am very proud to say I have never seen that movie.

I didn't believe Heath Ledger could make up for taking on that role, I haven't seen BBM, but I saw the Dark Knight.

Heath Ledger redeemed himself.

Flame away.

do you guys remember the guy on here who went to it thinking it was a western? he was so pissed. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.

i've never seen it, nor will I. Just cause I don't even want to think about two guys having sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....

That wouldn't be to hard to do....there is only one scene and it lasted 5 sec.

The guy who died - the dark-haired one - did he die when a tire exploded, as his wife said, or was he fag-bashed to death, as the hazy video accompanying her phone conversation suggests? If the latter, had he degenerated into a randomly cruising crankhog?

Stomped to death....and yep he pretty much went for the "rough trade"

I was definitely under the impression he was beat to death. I haven't seen it since it was out at the theater, but I remember thinking maybe the wife had something to do with it.
