I'm sorry, but you come off as a pussy who can't handle being called names. On top of that, you sound like a whiny man-child crying about his precious magazine that was taken away from him. Oh yeah, you also sound like a smug passive-aggressive ***** when you go "heh sundance films confuse my peers and I find that hilarious". Jokes on you *****, you brought a gay film to a sausagefest.

And here I thought you were being sarcastic. It's much more this way though.

Yeah but probably only $2. Still, you're right, he did actually buy Brokeback Mountain.

Yeah, it's like 50-50. Also, "hajji shop" rubs me the wrong way.

Well, pretty much everyone there calls them that. It's not used in a derogatory way.

No wonder massassi is a dieing community.

It was 2 dollars. I suppose buying it might make me "gayer" but there were also guys who bought the "OC" tv drama show, "She's all that" and numerous other garbage films that were just as "gay" in hindsight.

Also, when you're sitting in a cardboard shack, 100+ degrees, no internet, no TV (until after 1900) for 24 hours shifts... a maxim is about as close to bliss as you can believe. My "superior" "officers" were mostly E-4, E-5's in their early 20's who liked to bully people regardless of whether they were good soldiers, bad soldiers, etc... for them it was a way to fight the boredom. It's really nice to see how angry I can make people when they just assume things that aren't true. Yes, it was funny watching them watch movies and not "get' them... Sorry for being mean-spirited in that respect but my mind was not quite right. Being bored and isolated socially all day for days on end can certainly bring out devious traits... no matter who you are.

It only makes you two dollars gay, though. I've been tempted a few times to watch it only due to notoriety but the bottom line is it just doesn't seem like a movie I'd want to watch. And, yes, it is absolutely hilarious that guys giving you crap for getting it were watching it later. Although, your situation was far from unique. Dudes on FOBs all across Iraq got **** for the exact same thing.

On second thought Ragna, I take offense to you rattling off insults with no objectivity or evidence on your own behalf. You act like a child.

People so quick to judge and point are always the ones who have never done anything in worth while in their own life. Simply permanent bystanders who always want to interject their opinions and criticisms openly onto others. This certainly seems to be the case with you.

I'm pretty sure that we established Ragna as a **** a while ago.

Also, a teen drama is just as homosexual as film about two homosexuals?

A teen drama about a cross-dressing girl who plays soccer at an all boy's school. Yes, I would say even more gay because of it's inclusion of soccer as the featured sport.

I only watched it because that's what everyone wanted to watch. Majority rules.

I was talking about The OC.

Also, what?

Eh... I meant She's the man (but also did see she's all that once while deployed) was the one I was describing. I didn't pay close enough attention in the first place. I also watched Mean Girls on my first tour. The reason was because these movies had good looking girls in them and therefor it was not "gay" to watch them. I did however object to my friends talking about the OC as if the people on the show were like their personal friends. Iraq was weird.

Oops, I think you just outed yourself. Again.

What!? Did I miss the memo were soccer was officially declared gay?

This thread is gay.

My section watched Sex and the City and nobody called each other gay, we just ****ed each other in the ass.

But seriously, you must be with some ******* individuals to not have being a homo be the biggest joke around, in all directions.

Even the gay guy in our unit calls people fags.

Mean Girls was written by Tina Fey and therefore fantastic.

From the sound of things you fit in perfectly with your army buddies.

What a bunch of homos the Marines are.

Who's seen the movie "waiting"?

A ton of people when I was over there in '05-'06. They never got me, though! They were always so conspicuous.

Not to say they're comparable, but the same could be said about the n word >_>

Man come on. You KNEW if someone caught you watching that movie they'd make fun of you.

Our hajj movie guy had it and not even our females bought it. He only had one copy and had it the whole 15 months I was there. Never sold it.

Honest to god didn't know... I joined in 2005 was in basic for 4 months shut off from civilization. I literally knew nothing of Katrina as it was happening. Then I was shipped Jan 06 and didn't have a TV of my own since I signed up. Being cut off from pop culture can have consequences.

The fact you say 15 months means you were over there in 2007 at the earliest because of the surge. Yes, by 2007-08 everyone should know what Brokeback Mountain was on a deployment.

Yeah I guess in that regard it would be possible to literally not know anything about the movie.

I know what you're saying but it isn't the same. Not as far as the intent goes. Especially around service members where everybody is likely to be called by the "group" they're associated with. Joes, Grunts, Jarheads, Flyboys, Fags (for the Navy or Snoop), Hadji, Spooks, etc.

hahahahahaha

I can't say I know anything about these things you can buy over there, but couldn't it at least a ****ty quality cover?

wait... your saying lame tv shows and juvenile movies are actually on the same caliber of gayness as a movie literally about two gay cowboys porking each other in the wilderness?!?!?!?

I'd like to know how watching a film about gay cowboys makes you gay. I watched Rocky II the other day, does that make me a boxer?

When something even remotely related to being gay is brought up, you're supposed to ridicule it. If you don't, you're probably gay yourself, and that's bad.

Duh.

ur so gay shut up

No, it makes you gay

On a controversially non-gay note, have you seen Hurt Locker? I think that's an awesome movie, but I'd be interested to know what actual soldiers think of that movie.

real men watch "independence day"

Back in high school I had a friend who wanted me to give him a disc with an arseload of christmas songs and whatnot on it [or at least I assume they were christmas songs]. Anyway "Walking Around In Women's Underwear" may have slipped in there instead of "Winter Wonderland", and he happened to be checking out what was on the disc on his computer when his mum walked past and that song came on and ever since then she's assumed that I'm either gay or a cross dresser.

Then again that woman is a complete and utter dip****, and I detest her. She's a Jehova's Witness and I'm fairly sure is the main reason that I don't think very highly of them.

The Hurt Locker

Hurt Locker sucks.

This thread is now gayer than the Navy and the song "In the Navy" combined.
