Update

Meant to post this earlier.

A while back I posted how AAFES who run the base theaters were refusing to show Brokeback Mountain. And quite true, they never did show it. But lo and behold, now that it's out on DVD, the BX...which is run by AAFES...is stocking the movie. And better still, when I went in there, they were nearly all out!

Yes, I got a copy.

Sorry, hmpf but this way works out cheaper and, given how this month is, easier than getting over to Frankfurt to see it. As it is, I won't be able to watch it until I get back from Italy.

Yep, I was so surprised to see it there, after they specifically didn't show it because of the military's stance on gays. But AAFES are a bunch of hypocrits and they stand to make a better profit from the DVDs than selling theater tickets.

Now I'm just waiting to see the flood of letters to the Stars and Stripes newspaper complaining how selling the DVDs is so against military policy and will no doubt corrupt all the heterosexual soldiers/airmen/sailors/marines.

You made the right choice to stay away from JAG.

That's...hypocritical, yeah, but at least it's being sold where those overseas can see it now, if they choose. I'm still in shock about that.

*wry smile* Oh yeah, I'm sure that'll come out,too. Letters of protest and of ignorance, as if a film could change your sexual orientation.

I think that more and more everyday.
