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?

Saw it in Toronto. One of the best films I've ever seen in my life. It's huge.

How lovely for you. I hope you don't mind that in spite of not knowing who you are I hate you a little bit right now.

Gee, I wonder why that Wyoming playwright doesn't know any gay cowboys. I mean, I know the first person I'd come out to, were I gay, is one who obviously disapproves of my lifestyle. *eye roll*

Eep, I can't wait for the movie.

Holy effing hotness! Thanks for the Jarhead link...and is it odd that I STILL can't wrap my mind around Michelle & Heath? Sheesh.

Even if it's not, I think we should make it GCM. :)

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.
