And though I couldn't accept a year's screen pass to sit through "Hostel" or any of its ilk, I agree with Erik 1000%!!! Joe B. PS-- For what it's worth department: We feared that, due to pressure from a particularly meddlesome preacher (remember "Becket?"), that Wichita Falls, TX, would not show "Brokeback Mountain"-- despite the fact that Larry McMurtry (producer/writer) is from thirty miles away-- Archer City, TX-- location . But it will open at the new Cinemark Theatre on Friday. "Hostel" is already playing.
