An the Oscar Wilde goes to...

"ABHORRENT: Intentional blasphemy, evil, gross immorality, falsehood, evil worldviews, and/or destructive, horrendous worldview problems... ...there are sure to be many leftwing awards for this twisted, laughable, frustrating, plotless, and boring piece of homosexual, Neo-Marxist propaganda." Part of a review of Brokeback Mountain by Ted Baehr, movieguid.org.

I have been trying all afternoon to figure out what Neo-Marxism might be. This is what wikipedia has to say: "Neo-Marxism was a 20th century school that harkened back to the early writings of Marx before the influence of Engels which focused on dialectical idealism rather than dialectical materialism, and thus rejected the economic determinism of early Marx, focusing instead on a non-physical, psychological revolution." Unless Marx was playing with Engels' winkie, I still don't have a clue what that means, or what it has to do with that movie.
