Oscars: Third consecutive posting with a "can't quit you" reference

On Tuesday and Wednesday, according to estimations by boxofficemojo.com, "Brokeback Mountain" was the No. 1 film in America, despite the fact that it was playing in fewer than a third as many theaters as the No. 2 film, which had just opened last weekend. It's already earned twice its budget here in the States, something "King Kong" can't claim (though, yes, "Kong's" made scads more money). At any rate, can we all finally put to rest the notion that American filmgoers are too limited by ideology to embrace a good movie and focus on something that's really important, such as whether Harrison Ford has found his way home yet after the Golden Globes and if Angelina Jolie has outsourced her womb to Cambodia?
