I just read the short story by Proulx for the first time. And cried. And then had a friend call me and had to explain to him why I was crying.

I can not wait for this film.

I just returned from seeing "Walk the Line." I was the only person in the theatre under 40. The trailer for Brokeback played. There was SO much chatter after that trailer...lol. I can't wait to see it, but the folks I saw "Walk the Line" with isn't ready.

Fascinating. What were they saying??

That was the thing, I couldn't tell...lol. Lot's of 70-year-old chatter. I am assuming some slight shock. Although before the show started, one of the 80-year-old women said loudly, "You know, it's funny how people assume Catholic people don't have sex!" My friend and I cackled. I have no idea what she was talking about, but I wish I knew.

Absurd. Then where the heck do all those children come from?

comments like that make me ashamed for being a heterosexual. God, she is dumb.

I like how the movie ruined her marriage and yet she still gave the movie 2 stars.

You lost 100 for thinking it WAS Frank Ebb.

You better work HARD to get to 100,000.

I want to see this movie too, but I'm only 13, and the film is rated R. Ah, well. I'll see it somehow.

By the way, you can read the novella on the internet by the link (Legally, of course) because the book was so short. Don't read it if you don't want to spoil the movie for yourself, but still...

Then you better stay away from the thousands upon thousands of Hollywood romances, not to mention the heaps of love poems, love songs, and romantic novels that have amassed through the millennia. You won't get them.

"Director Q&As are pretty common in the movie industry, and Lee—who won an Oscar for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and has directed such acclaimed films as..."

He didnt win the oscar for CTHD. Fact checker!

Sorry....hate wrong information in news magazines.

Actually, he did. He picked up the Best Foreign Film Oscar for CTHD. To the best of my knowledge, that award goes to the director (that's how Pedro Aldomovar has one).

Almodovar actually has 2, right? One for his script for Talk to Her, I believe.

Yes. I had to look that one up; I didn't watch the 2002 Oscars.

This reminds me of something Eminem said awhile back about everytime there was controversey and people protested him, he sold more records.

Dagnammit, I just found out that BROKEBACK isn't opening in Toronto until December 23rd. I had assumed that it was opening tomorrow, since we're usually looped into these limited releases. You'd think they'd take advantage of one of the biggest urban film markets and gay communities in North America, but nooooooo.

Posted: 12/8/05 at 2:35pm

Boo hoo...you and Venice got it first, bitches! Ya snooze ya lose!

Sorry...that wasn't very yuletide!

I'm just so excited to see it after all the folks I knew at the Toronto Festival saw it and bragged about it.
