Is 'Brokeback Mountain' too racy for prisoners?  

BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- A Massachusetts correctional officer is being disciplined for showing the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" to inmates at the state's largest prison because his boss determined that the film includes content inappropriate for a prison setting.

Massachusetts Department of Correction spokeswoman Diane Wiffin said Saturday that the action was not related to the critically acclaimed film's plot involving a gay love affair.

"It was not the subject matter. It was the graphic nature of sexually explicit scenes," Wiffin said.

She said the officer, whom she declined to identify, failed to follow prison guidelines that require staff who schedule films to review them in advance for excessive violence, nudity or sex, as well as scenes involving assaults on correctional staff.

The officer showed the film Thursday afternoon, two days after its American release on DVD, to inmates at a prison in Norfolk, Massachusetts, about 25 miles southwest of Boston.

Wiffin declined to discuss his punishment.

Based on Annie Proulx's short story, "Brokeback Mountain" is about two men who meet and fall in love while wrangling sheep in Wyoming in 1963. It won raves from critics and garnered three Oscars last month, including one for director Ang Lee.

accident?  methinks not

Whats the big deal? Apparently is was a hit

I'll bet that Barney Frank was runnin' the projector.

Ya think someone here will actually own up to having seen it?

My favorite line from the whole movie  but I've only seen it a few times...probably didn't even quote it correctly

Sheep???

I thought the movie was about cowboys

Quoted: accident?  methinks not

Yeah I seriously doubt it was an accident.

It was either that or "Midnight Express".

Come on CJ, you know you want to hear all about the guy from "Jarhead" having his head banging off the headboard...

There was probably an increase of prisoners climbing Brokeback Mountain themselves that night, if you get my drift.

They're not gay, they just can't help it if certain inmates look really feminine in the right light!

I asked my gf.
Apparently, they get drunk, beat each other up, then Gyllenhal tears Ledger's pants off.
Gyllanhal proceeds to pound Ledger, and the camera focuses on both their faces and motions.

The description is too graphic for me.

Hmm..and they call that a love story? I'm sure they prisoners loved that

Maybe they should have played Comedy Centrals version instead!!

That's like a kid saying to his mom, "I'm only cleaning because I WANT to, not because you told me to."

If they have to say it, chances are the opposite is true.

Nope Ledger was the "top" in the one and only sex scene in the whole movie....and the scene last about 10 sec.

Yea, I asked her who was the top/bottom, guess she mixed them up.
She said it the scene was over pretty quick, and beyond the reunion makeout scene, there wasn't much physical interaction in the movie.
