Brokeback Update.
Production Notes (an rtf file) Good insight into the efforts to get the screenplay filmed. The technical adviser to the film is a gay cowboy. Like, a real one.
HOLLYWOOD ROCKED: 'GAY COWBOY' MOVIE BECOMES AN OSCAR FRONTRUNNER on DrudgeReport. Interestingly, one woman said she'd never met a gay cowboy.
Playwright and lifelong Wyomingite tells the STAR-TRIBUNE of Casper this week that she has never encountered a gay cowboy, and doesn't think it's right for Hollywood to portray Wyoming as a state with gay cowboys.
Her message to the writers of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: “Don't try and take what we had, which was wonderful -- the cowboys that settled the state and made it what it was -- don't ruin that image... There's nothing better than plain old cowboys and the plain old history without embellishing it to suit everyone."
I think Shane Madden would disagree with her.
Interesting Annie Proulx quote. Actually, the whole lecture is interesting.
allposters.com has the poster, but it's out of stock! :'( I want it so badly.
I also want the soundtrack desperately. Loads of Wainwright goodness on there.
Video of Jake's Santa dance from Jarhead.
I find the fact that Heath named his daughter Matilda just hilarious.


both from the soundtrack


Jake and Heath in Toronto or Venice. The one above's at an afterparty...I *think* it's Toronto, but I'm not entirely sure.
Yes, my assignment was due Monday and it is now 1:57 am Wednesday morning. I do believe I've made excellent progress, though. I'm just not in the zone atm. Some days I can pop out a 3000-worder in 5 hours, but I'm off my game.
Is it gay cowboy month yet?

That woman's comment is silly. I've never been to the Australian outback, but I have no problem with it featuring prominently in Aus films.
