and grind Ok, finally saw Brokeback Mountain last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tragic and timeless love story that, imho, transcended the sexuality of the characters. (not that there anything wrong with THAT) I am not sure I agree with this. We know as much as we need to know, when we need to know it. For instance, when Ennis meets Jack's parents at the end, it all makes sense, who he is I mean. I can't imagine meeting them or finding more about him earlier. And as far as supporting characters, they were incidental compared to their love for each other. They were punctuation in the time they spent apart. The way Leadger carried himself, the way he mumbled, the starkness to every aspect of his life just worked. It was a landmark performance. If he doesn't score Oscar, there is gonna be hell to pay. Now, Krisanne, do you REALLY mean that? I felt like that naive childlike quality he had worked and reflected how his upbringing was tragic but that he responded to it differently than Ennis'. You even see how he brought that out in Ennis later on, like when he was getting ready to GO FISHING. It was pretty amazing, especially the way they were able to equate their attraction as natural, a story as old as the hills, etc. They didn't just USE the place and make it "pretty". Appropriation of naturalism is tricky in film and it worked beautifully. I am gonna go with A-. Any film that adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts is pretty special. While I may not be gay, I was acutely aware of how far away I was from my SO while watching this film and how that awareness turned into a bona fide ache when I walked out. What more can you ask for from a movie? ok, MAYBE a "wetshot", but I think that is a whole other genre.

that is a poker-faced sig line if I ever saw one. Happy New Year, Beth!

trying to turn volume down on Ipod by turning knob on car radio. Short bus is over there...great. -
unfortunately, not really. I have a motorola phone and I alternate between the HELLOMOTO one (luv it, can't help it) and SPOOKY. Not so ambitious, I know.
