I would hope for E. Annie Proulx reading her essay "Blood on the Red Carpet" so everybody can see that she's not only the world's most sensitive and delicate writer, but also a terrific sport!

The features are:
-Directing from the Heart: Ang Lee
-From Script to Screen: Interviews with Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana
-Sharing the Story: The Making of Brokeback Mountain
-And More!

I haven't watched them yet, so I'm not sure what the "and more" entails, but if there were deleted scenes, they probably would have listed them on the box.

There's a feature called "Robbed!" which focuses on a group of message board posters whose tears of pride and joy turn to hate and rancor when the movie loses the big prize.

I thought I heard there were some pretty explicit scenes between Jake and Heath that were cut.

I remember Ang Lee saying that he just didn't feel the need to show a lot of sex; he felt he could convey the depth of the love without having it be explicity sexual in order to make that obvious. I took it to mean that he didn't see the need to film more than the one scene that made it into the movie.

No, Em, I liked it. re: What are the special features on the 'Brokeback' DVD? I was just willing at first to accept that some people might not. But the snark has gotten kind of out of hand.
I guess I'll just weep into my boxed special edition of "Tales of the City" and hope for a kinder, gentler BWW someday.

*holds bwaysinger's hand* It's okay, we can band together.

I love the movie so much that I refuse to watch it.

.... paradox? I think so. Story of my life.

Well, I'm currently in a phase of refusal to watch that, either. Not because I hated it, because I'm... oh, hell, I have no idea. I'm stupid.

The snark may be out of hand, but was this thread really necessary? In the time it took to start the thread, the poster could have looked this up on Amazon.

It's cool. I'm always up for a new BM thread. Life seems empty without them.

Excuse me, though, I'm off to start a thread to find out what the special features were on the original release Chicago dvd.
