Brokeback Mountain

I didn't see a thred, so I thought I'd make one. Here's the place to discuss the brilliance of Ang Lee, the sexiness of Jake Gyllenhaal, the errmmm ...something of Heath Ledger, and the hope against all hope that pudding will be consumed during the course of the film.

All I need to see is pretty Heath Ledger and even prettier Jake Gyllenhaal making out, and this will become my favorite. movie. EVER. ;D

[hobbes]

While I don't find Ledger hot at all, Jake the Pretty makes me all faint. The idea of him making out with anyone who's not The Doctor leaves me in need of a cold, cold shower.

Yep, Heath Ledger is so meh to me, but Jake Gyllenhall? Oh, baby! I'd watch him in Kangaroo Jack 2! LOL.

I thought Ledger was meh in A Knight's Tale and Ten Things I Hate About you. But thought he was really good in Monster's Ball.

Anyhoo, I read in a recent interview in Fade In (a new movie mag) and Ledger had some interesting things to say about BBM. He mentioned how his character was basically a "homophobe who happened to fall in love with another man" (okay, not verbatim, but something along the lines of that).

It makes sense. Even homophobia is not strong enough for some Jakey-lovin'

Is this based on a short story by Annie Proulx? If so, it should be good. Can't wait.

OK, but The Shipping News. I'm just saying.

[mrsbootsie]

Shipping News, great book, terrible, terrible movie. Hopefully this will be a better adaptation.

[kanding]

Or The Shipping News, just OK book, terrible, terrible movie. But Brokeback Mountain? That story just tore me apart. I'm not sure I'll be up to getting gutted again. I think I'll stay away from the movie.

I heard Heath gives and Jake receives. Sounds about right to me. Jake's got those girlie eyelashes.
