Brokeback Mountain

[judecorp]

Jen and I went to see Brokeback Mountain tonight. It was easily one of the most enthralling films of 2005. I was totally captivated from minute one all the way through, even with the woman next to Jen tsk'ing every time there was any sort of tender moment between the two main characters.

I've never had much respect for Heath Ledger as an actor (as eye candy, HELLO - lots of respect) but he really made me eat all of my past words tonight. He was incredible as Ennis, really and truly incredible. Jake Gyllenhaal... eh. Yes and no. But the sleazestache - yuck!

The theatre was packed, sold out with no empty seats. This gave us a great opportunity to push the armrest between us up and sit closer together. That's always nice.

We also ran into Tim on the way out (he was on his way in). That's always nice, too!

Your theatre has armrests that go up? Lucky! God, I can't wait to see that movie. I'm so envious. =)

Come down to visit and I'll take you to one of the theatres with the armrests that go up. Perfect for dates! :)

When do you think you'll get to see it? To think it's been out here for two weeks or so!

It looks like I'm going to have to go all the way to Toronto to see it. I dunno if it's going to play here in London at all. That sucks.

Oh, bummer. Still, you'll find a way to see it, I know it. :)

Come down to Boston tomorrow and we'll go see it again!

We're gonna go see it in Toronto, if I have to hitch-hike in the snow to get there, dammit!

And if I have things my way, we'll see it /twice/. *nods*

Because... holy jumpin' hannah, Heath and Jake kissin' and huggin' and cuddlin' and makin' with the screen 53XX0r!

Why yes, I am a lesbian fag hag; why do you ask?

There's actually not much of the kissin' and the sexx0rs... but there is a lot of huggin' and canoodlin' and tenderness, which is really nice to watch.

How can you not think Jake Gyllenhaal is yummy eye candy? Heath Ledger is delicious, too, but Jake... Jake is... well, Jake.

ACCCCCCCCCCCCCK, the pornstache!!! Yikes!

I normally think Jake is absolutely adorable... and I did at the beginning of the movie but the sleazestache really did me in. (And "adorable" and "great acting" aren't always synonymous, sadly.)

It's been forever since I heard that song:) I remember my grandparents buying me the tape for Christmas in middle school? and them being horrified.

Oh, now you're making me feel OLD again. You young whippersnapper! :)

I don't remember how old I was when that song came out. I think I might have been a senior in high school... or at least sometime in high school, because I know I still liked it a lot when I went to college.

I loved that movie. Couldn't stop thinking about it for awhile.

Yeah, it's definitely still on my mind.
