GLAAD Maad Over Shalit's Brokeback Review
Can't Stop The Music, as the early 80's Village People movie was called:
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is demanding an apology from "Today" show film critic Gene Shalit for his review of "Brokeback Mountain."
During his Thursday review of the critically hailed film, Shalit called Jake Gyllenhaal's character, Jack, a "sexual predator" who "tracks Ennis down and coaxes him into sporadic trysts," E! Online reported Friday.
Kind of a bizarre take (especially as Jack was, ahem, on the receiving end of things). But, in all fairness to Mr. Shalit, Jack was seducing a mentally challenged man, the Gay Slingblade, rmmrm-hmmmrm, rhrmm-hrrmmh.
The A-Man again.
