A rather blinkered attitude, surely? How can you hope to make informed decisions and participate in meaningful discussions of topics if you simply ignore that which does not fit in with your view of the way things should be?

Perhaps this is best demonstrated if we extend that idea -why would any human want to see a movie where a human is a villain?

Why would straight people not want to see Brokeback mountain, incidentally? I'm off to see it next week with a group of straight friends with life views encompassing almost the entire political and religious spectrums.

Oh, and I agree with the majority about LWW -it was very true to the book but almost spoiled in places by the few "additions". My 6 year old was very scared by the first half, though. He doesn't like the silent suspence thing, where you are made to expect something to jump out at you. I thought the fact that he felt it as strongly as if he were in the movie demonstrated how well the movie was made in those parts.
