Which is the more appropriate way to make fun of Brokeback Mountain: "Bareback Mountain" or "Flaming Saddles?"
I'm not going to sleep until I figure this out.

Why do you hate gay people, Ed?

on a related point, some friends of mine and I spent a short conversation the other day trying to decide whether Brokeback Mountain or Top Gun is the gayer movie.

That is utterly ridiculous. There is not even any doubt that Top Gun is significantly gayer.

Bareback Mountain seems to have caught on around the metro Atlanta area, Iceman.

I think I prefer "flaming saddles" as it provides several ways to make fun of the movie.
First, flaming is, of course, a common adjective to describe something that is very homosexual – which this movie is.
Secondly, flaming saddles could also refer to the inflamed asses that these two gay cowboys would almost certainly have after an evening of butt-love.
The possibilities are endless.

I don't think Top Gun is gay insomuch as the only real sexual attraction the characters feel is towards their jetplane fighters. It's true the women come across as stand-in props until they can get back to business – but I sense "back to business" is less showers in the barracks but shooting missles at Russians.

I'm partial to "Flaming Saddles".
