Come Anticipate "Brokeback Mountain" With Me

It is a little slow, but its beautifully shot

Beautiful widescreen nature shots are always beautiful.

It's all downhill after the first tent fuck.

ain't that always the way...

I love widescreen outdoor nature shots too but there was nothing particularly interesting about these, sorry.

It's not just those though. I really like the way a majority of the scenes are framed. I haven't watched it in a long time so I'm having trouble bringing up specific examples, but I just really loved the way the whole film looked.

my reaction was the opposite, really.

Gyllenhaal was pretty good tho. shouty monologue at the end was a bit much. but he aged the character in a believable way (stunt mustache!)

i dunno if anyone has mentioned this but the thing that pissed me off abt this movie was that first sex scene. I mean, we're supposed to believe that these guys start barebackin it with a little spit for lube and that he gets it in that easy and that gyllenhaal is bottoming for the first time and that he actually enjoys it. at least enough to do it again. That shit would be fn sore, even a little "whoa man, take it easy" and i might buy it.

are we so sure that it's gyllenhall's first time?

and maybe it hurts but he doesn't want it to stop so he shuts up about it

(the spit detail is hot imo- i'll take it over realism)

I got the impression that this wasn't jack twist's first rodeo, so to speak.

yeah, where wd u get that idea, esp as he goes cruisin in Mexico when Ennis is unavailable.

The story makes it clear that Jack's been twistin' before Ennis.

this movie

Seems like Randy Quaid's actin' like mean ol' Joe Aguirre:
Randy Quaid Sues Over 'Brokeback'
Actor claims producers defrauded him

TMZ obtained a copy of the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming producers falsely represented the movie to him as "a low-budget, art house film, with no prospect of making any money." Quaid claims the representations were a ruse from the beginning. 'Brokeback' has grossed around $160 million.

Quaid's suit claims that in 2004, he met with director Ang Lee, who offered him the role of Joe Aguirre. The suit alleges that Lee told Quaid: "We can't pay anything, we have very little money, everyone is making a sacrifice to make this film."

The suit does not specifically state how much Quaid made, but it does claim that the defendants "were engaged in a 'movie laundering' scheme designed to obtain the services of talent such as Randy Quaid on economically unfavorable art film terms..."

The suit asks for $10 million in damages as well as punitive damages. It also seeks "restitution for all ill-gotten gains."

foreshadowing of crazy?

Guessing Randy would love to work under economically unfavorable art film terms now

Was just wondering what happened to Lucas Hedges ...

He had himself fitted for Heath Ledger's jacket.

"A play with music" but definitely NOT a gay-ass musical, heavens no!

I can imagine Faist as Jack Twist more easily than Hedges as Ennis del Mar.

I can definitely imagine them in those roles better than the inverse.
