...if you listen to talk radio, the guys at the office or the typical men's league softball team, there's one key demographic -- straight men ages 18 to 54 -- who can't seem to get over their insecurities and take those last few steps to see this landmark film.
I'm a straight man with no desire whatsoever to see this film. This means I'm insecure?
Discuss.

That article has all the logic of "If you don't sleep with someone of the same sex, then you must be a homophobe."

I don't know of too many men in that demographic that saw Titanic without being in tow of a woman. Does that mean we hate ships?
Man, I used to walk out of the previews for that dung beetle excretion of a film.

I'm not going to watch it because it is a friggin love story. I don't care if the main characters are straight or gay.
With one exception if it is a love story with two attractive women and the word erotic is in front of the words love story. Then I might check it out on HBO.
In my experience, the more the critics rave about the movie, the less entertaining the film. And come on, isn't that why we go to the movies.
And the guy who wrote that article is soooo closet gay. Going to the movie by the bus load and training to watch the movie by viewing gay porn. Sounds more like recuiting.
I don't want to see *most* movies so I must secretly be Hollywood crap.
I don't want to see chick flics, so I must secretly be a girl.
I don't want to see March of the Penguins, so I must be a penguin.
I wish I never saw Highlander II, so I must be an immortal alien who badly needs to kill himself because he'll destroy any series she's associated with!!!!
In my experience, the more the critics rave about the movie, the less entertaining the film.
I concur. Critics said "Sideways" and "Lost In Translation" were the best movies of their years, yet I couldn't stand Sideways and was so apathetic by Lost In Translation. Hardly what I would call great films. Sure, they are all different in that they aren't generic play by the numbers Hollywood summer films, but that doesn't mean that they are necessarily any good.
