Kelly came over tonight to watch Brokeback Mountain. She hadn’t seen it, and neither had Coffee and I, so we figured we’d make an evening of it and see what all the fuss was about.
I was hesitant due to the popularity of the movie – so many people said it was great and then it was nominated (and won) a bunch of awards and whoohoo, yeeehaw, yadda yadda yadda. Sometimes that’s a big setup for a really crappy movie-watching experience. I just avoided it.
But I have discovered, truly, that there is no way you can go wrong with a movie about cowboys in love. I mean, really. Gorgeous settings and sweet moments and men rolling around punching each other and… okay, seriously, HOW could that not be good?
Some drama! Some intrigue! Love! Weeping! Fighting! Eating! Boinking! Dancing!
But you already know this because the three of us (plus a guy named Mark? Marc?) are the only people left in the world who didn’t watch it a year or two ago. I rate it a solid 8 out of 10 stars.

I still haven’t seen it. In fact, I pretty much guarantee that any movie you think you are the last one to see, I haven’t seen.
-
Yeah, some guy named Sylvain hasn’t seen it either. Yet. But I will have to, how can I pass up “Weeping! Fighting! Eating! Boinking! Dancing!” :-) If only there were a car chase mixed in. lol
-
I started to rate it a 7, but since Coffee used fractions, I can too. Seven and a half. But I liked Les Indigènes better. PS Do you know what Sylvain’s mom said about my photo? She said “wow elle est belle.” I like HER!
-
I haven’t seen it either, but that shouldn’t be a surprise as I tend to not see any movie until about four or five years after it came out. I’m a procrastinator that way.
-
This gives me hope that if I were ever to host a movie night, I could show all of my favourites from, say, 1999 and there’d be a good chance that none of my friends would have seen any of them previously..
Kelly – well, I don’t want to be mean, but.. DUH! Elle *EST* tres belle! TRES!

I think I’ve actually read more about the guy who bought (and then eBay’ed) the pickup truck from Brokeback Mountain than I have about the actual movie itself. Obviously, I’ve not seen the movie either. Chances are very good I won’t, only because there are many more movies that I haven’t seen that have more curb appeal. Boinking notwithstanding. ;)
-
I not only saw the movie! (on TV) I read the BOOK! TA DAH!
And I LIKED BOTH~ I’m a straight lady who likes homosexual stories.
(and people)…I don’t EVEN remember the car.
Wasn’t it a truck? Oh yes, you said TRUCK…sorry.BTW the little toy cowboy guy at the top of this post looks just like a client of mine, really! I can’t stop thinking about that when I look at him. It’s very weird and distracting. Have thought about just saying it to him, but would he really want to be compared to the cowboy in Toy Story? Would anyone?
I guess I’ll keep it to myself. Do you think he’s gay? The doll, not my client. -
Wow! Lynn, you are TOTALLY an overachiever! :)
Now I’m wondering how you keep a straight face any time you see your client! Heee!
