The trailer made me cry.
Brokeback Mountain

With Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.

I really want to see that. My husband on the other hand...

I love movie trailers. Unfortunately, movies often don't live up to their trailers.

If this one does, it'll be a darn good movie. Really, though, I'll see anything with Heath Ledger. [Smile]

I hate both of them, but I want to see this movie.

That scene when he's hugging the shirt just tears my heart out.
Unrequited love is a drag.

Ron saw the poster as we were going in to see Wallace and Gromit. He said, "Gay cowboy movie. You're gonna drag me to see that, aren't you?"

[Big Grin]

I really can't stand Heath Ledger, either.

I've heard it's totally awesome and I wanted to see it at the Film Festival but it was all sold out... [Frown]

Read the story! Read the story! It made me cry. When, of course, he hugs the shirt.

It better open in a theatre here or I'm going to have to bus it on over to Toronto.

There are very few movies that deal with my situation in life and even fewer that actually get mainstream attention. Most are independent movies that go straight to video and are impossible to find. I haven't seen a decent movie about being gay since... "The Velocity of Gary" I think.

I will have to do that.

Is that the first trailer or a new one? I thought the first was cute. It had Jake and Heath cuddling, eliciting a fanboyish "squee".

On the other hand, I didn't think the story was particularly good. All right, not great. I hope the movie's better.

I should admit that I'm a sucker for what I like to call the "angsty cowboy" genre. Think Cormac McCarthy... and Brokeback Mountain is basically All the Pretty Horses, but shorter and with a man with a personality instead of a girl with long hair.

Lucky Jake. He gets to be in so many good things.
