Prophetic Posting

"Brokeback" is the "Future" of Cinema

Barely a week ago, on this very page, Nicholas brought our attention to the existence of a sequel to the Brokeback Mountain saga. In that prescient post, Nicholas quoted the critics Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper who predicted that Brokeback Mountain 2 would become the bedrock of future American cinematic endeavors. They forsaw that Hollywood cinema would reference and be inspired by Brokeback 2 well into the "unforeseeable future." Only days later, the truth of that prophecy is becoming manifest with the release of the trailer for Brokeback to the Future. This film explores similar themes to those dealt with in Brokeback II, and conforms to a similar aesthetic standard. Starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the film chronicles the secret passion of a young man and his mentor in the machismic Old West. To view the trailer for the upcoming Brokeback to the Future, click here.

PS: Thanks to Thessaly for finding the trailer.
