Yep, I suspect I'm the only gay blogger in the universe that hasn't commented yet on Brokeback Mountain. But I haven't seen it yet, and ain't got much to say.
So...
There's a video about the Brokeback Happy Meal on Queerclick, from Fries on the Side [link currently exceeded its bandwidth]. The video itself is more or less safe for work except one line ["Tastes like cum!"] [which may be the greatest line in the video], but Queerclick itself is not.

Posted by: superduper at January 24, 2006 03:58 PMI didn't blog it. I didn't find it very emotionally involving, altho Heath Ledger is good. I'm a huge Annie Proulx fan, & I thought there was something false about turning her oblique, gritty story of 2 outsiders into a vehicle for 2 pretty Hollywood stars. It wouldn't be getting gay raves if it starred 2 unattractive character actors.
