For all the cowboy fetishists....
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/
ooh! I don't have a cowboy fetish, but I have a Jake G. and Heath L. fetish, so I'll definitely see it!
I'm hesitant about this film since Ang Lee said before filming started he wasn't sure if he wanted to show these two characters kiss. This is a romance about two men and the director (who also directed my favorite film, THE ICE STORM) makes a decision like that? But Gyllenhaal and Ledger both said that the original script called for some pretty hot and heavy sex which they had no problem doing.

I'm curious if they're going to follow the short story the way it's written - because it's not much of a 'love story' as presented. The men give in to their mutual attraction, but can never succomb to the emotional attachment. They end up living seperate lives - coming together only a couple of times over the years - and then one of them dies. It in no way validates or puts any kind of positive spin on their relationship.
If the interest is simply in seeing two men go at it, Mike Branson is available in a variety of flicks.

How many times have you 'delivered a dirty load' to the 'Heath & Jake dry cleaning store' in your head?
Midtown, I think I know what you're talking about and the answer would be - quite frequently.

Ok this movie looks great! I had not heard about it until today and I am excited to see it! I love both Jake and Heath! I also like Michelle Williams and she is in it too!

FYI --
There are (non-fake) full frontals of Heath Leger floating around the internet taken from a skinny dipping scene in the movie -- Gyllenhaal unfortunately uses a body double.
A body double? Margo, you've made me very upset today. If that chest Ledger is licking is not Gyllenhaal's, I'm going to be very upset.

I've only seen the pix for that one scene. It's probably Jake for the rest of the movie.
My dear, where might one see these pics?

My, uh "interest" is peaked!
tee hee!
In the scene, Jake and Heath are outside and decide to strip down and jump off a little cliff into a river. Jake used a body double because he was going to start another movie soon after this one and didn't want to risk getting hurt.
