I'm not pissed off--takes a lot more than laughing to get me pissed off, unless I love you and then anything you do is suspect--but I am extremely puzzled. I just don't GET it.
I didn't see a lot of straight women, though I very much expected to--I guess because most of my flist is women, and a lot of them are straight, and they were excited about the movie (gay and bi ones were, too, I'll note). I also, weirdly, expected to see a lot of older couples because whenever I go see something controversial, "risque", or both, there seem to be a lot more older people, especially at little art theatres, there are always a lot of older couples...I think because those kinds of films are thought to be highbrow and "cultural." There was one old couple, but the rest were in their 30s (some 20somethings and some 40somethings, but mostly 30s, it seemed). Though I've since talked to several older couples who've seen it (and enjoyed it).
when Alma saw the two men kissing, but I have to admit that I laughed too because I was just so shocked.
So it was just surprise, because you didn't expect her to see? Huh. I can see that, but I just thought that part was so, so sad.
I thought it was a beautiful storyline, it had beautiful camera shots, atmosphere, and Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are just SO pretty together I can't stand it.

I agree whole-heartedly with every word!
