Update 03.05.06: Brokeback Mountain - my favourite movie of all time! Have seen it 23 times since the 12/6 premiere. HEATH LEDGER WAS ROBBED AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES and THE OSCARS!!! ROBBED BLIND!!! I saw Capote, and I love Phil Seymour Hoff, but HEATH BECAME ENNIS! HE BETTER WIN THE FUCKING OSCAR!!! Anywho, BBM had me crying 3 times, laughing a hundred times, and pulling for Jack and Ennis the entire time. THE PERFECT MOVIE! Thanks Ang Lee. Seeing Gyllenheath paw at each other appealed to me, very very much so. I want to see them go at it, don't get me wrong. It's totally hot to see those 2 beautiful men get all lathered up over each other...But, the short story made me sob, and I connected with it on a base, primal level. It's a beautiful, haunting story that I clicked with on an instinctually human and emotional level. I love the idea of a relationship of genuine, strong, long term love b/w 2 men. It's risky and ballsy, and seen as so taboo in our culture, and the movie handled this beautifully, that two men CAN love each other with great depth. A beautifully acted, loyal retelling of the aching stor...I LOVE WHEN ART SPEAKS TO ME ON THIS LEVEL!!!!! Magnolia. Wet Hot American Summer. Purple Rain. Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Mr. Mom.

I sob like a teething infant at that part... Seriously... b/c it shows the cruely of humanity towards a very genteel, if disfigured, person. It's beyond belief, it defies description, and it's unbefuckinglievable.) Big Momma's House. Along Came Polly. Cannibal Holocaust. Punch Drunk Love. Friday The 13 (The Orig). A Bronx Tale.
