Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:23pmI 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.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:27pmThere'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.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:37pmReally? I figured most of the dialogue had been filmed but cut.

I forget the color code for full-on snark alert.

I was kinda of disappointed by the special features. Ah well.
I *still* haven't watched the movie yet. I might do that today.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:45pmWhy, Emcee, when you could watch "My Beautiful Laundrette" instead?

Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:50pmshh, you know I like Brokeback. Wait, you didn't, right? I can't even remember who's on what side anymore!

Nobody's on nobody's side...
when it comes to the big BM.
#11re: What are the special features on the 'Brokeback' DVD?
Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:53pmI so saw that coming.
#12re: What are the special features on the 'Brokeback' DVD?
Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:54pmI thought I heard there were some pretty explicit scenes between Jake and Heath that were cut.
#13re: What are the special features on the 'Brokeback' DVD?
Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:55pmI 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. 
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.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 3:58pm
wow, Em. Like the Rent movie.
Now THAT movie deserves some ire and ridicule.
#17re: What are the special features on the 'Brokeback' DVD?
Posted: 5/16/06 at 4:00pmWell, 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.

Kelen, gurl, don't make me schlep my booty all the way out to Queens and beat you with my "should have won Best Picture at the 2006 Oscars" dvd...

Posted: 5/16/06 at 4:13pmThe 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.

I'm just passively-agressively throwing my anger around at you, Kringas. I have nothing better to do today.

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.

I can't believe you don't know.
Frankly, I'm sad they canned the "how we kept Renee's face from being so shiny and puffy" featurette. I saw a rough cut and, frankly, I was amazed.
