Brokeback Mountain
Dec. 30th, 2005 11:44 pmJen 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!
