This fascinating piece is at AfterElton.com. (And introduced at the Cullen site, which PJ alerted the board about a couple of weeks ago.) Sound silly? I was having drinks with someone only last night, who midway through, as the conversation segued to another topic, said, emotionally "Wait! Can we please KEEP talking about BROKEBACK?! I'm not ready to move on!"

By the way, Oprah's show tomorrow, 1/27, is devoted to the show.
But me? I won't be watching. I, uh, just happened to read that, and want to be nice and help the real addicts here. I'll be busy then. I have shopping, cleaning, lint-picking ... I won't be watching. I just want to help everyone here who must have a fix. I'M not interested, okay?! Please, don't ask me what I thought of the Oprah show, afterwards because let me make it clear: I WON'T BE WATCHING, OKAY?! Jeez!I have a LIFE! The rest of you should get one!

Posted: 1/26/06 at 8:29amOh good, another Brokeback thread. I was just thinking we needed some more discussion about this overlooked movie.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Ah, but first Oprah will be doing more twists and turns than a box of pretzels as she hosts disgraced pathological liar James "Yea! That's the ticket!" Frey back to her show today.
Look for the overuse of phrases "the essence of the book," "the feelings," "the EMOTIONAL truth," and MORE!

Personally, I can't really stand watching Oprah for a full hour. BUT, isn't this the first national TV interview (in the US, at least) that Heath and Jake are doing together?
That's worth seeing, I think.
Besides, as Plum said yesterday, I'm obsessive, and I'm just not ashamed.
