I really do want to see it VERY badly, but unfortunately I guess homosexuals in American cinema either need to be omgtragic-trying-to-live-straight-lives (Brokeback Mountain) or used for laughs. No unrepentant gay relationships allowed in America, kthx.

It's really fucking ridiculous. I can't see that it's a money issue- it's been released over here with seemingly no trouble at all and we're in the same sort of situation economy-wise.

I just don't understand it, to be honest. Surely it should be up to the public whether they choose to go and see it or not, not up to some random people censoring it?

The movie is just really good. It's more about a dude who's a criminal than a dude who's gay, you know? Honestly, there is one graphic scene, which is hardly graphic at all compared to many het sex scenes I've seen. I supposed the biggest 'problem' with the film is that it's unapologetic about the story, which is exactly how it should be.

It makes me really ragey to hear about this. It's like when I was bemoaning the fact A Single Man had a short release over hear because of it being an indie film (as is the way with all indie movies, unless they suddenly do ridiculously well at the box office) but when I heard that people in the States were mostly only about to see it in tiny artsy cinemas? I thought that was just really, really dumb.

Surely the world should be at a place where they can't avoid showing movies like this? Ugh, I hate the world sometimes. And I really, really hope you get to see it somehow.
