Well, we saw Brokeback Mountain, and it wasn't bad. I'll stop calling it A Bunch of Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding because a) They're not really cowboys, they're sheepherders, and b) It's not so much an indie film as it's like The Bridges of Madison County. For gay cowboys.
Seriously, though, the film is very sad because these two men were clearly made for each other but could only be together in rigidly traditional ways: Through sex, fighting, and "fishing trips".

Hmmm...maybe Dawn should check into this. The "boys" go on a LOT of fishing, hunting, and NASCAR trips. Maybe I should ask them? ;)

Damn boonie-land! I am dying to see this and it's not playing anywhere near here!

I'll be in civilization in 1 month and hopefully it'll still be in theatres then.

I think the NASCAR trips are a dead giveaway that they're straight. :D

Can I ask them anyway and say that YOU want to know? hehe

Mom: NO!!
WC: I feel your pain. I grew up with a two-screen theatre and substandard videostores, constantly pining for obscure films.

Don't be too sure.. everyone knows that real men only race open wheel!
