Now I'm watching Brokeback Mountain, at long last. I can't make out anything either of the young men are saying; for all I know they're discussing fellatio or horticulture. Wyoming is certainly very pretty.

ETA: I've said this before, but having spent long months separated from my beloved, I can't think of anything sadder than the fact that people are still separated, and not by things as trivial as oceans.

Heh. Turn on subtitling?

fellatio or horticulture

you mean they're not the same thing!!! they lied!

oh, and it can't be Wyoming - as that local said after the movie came out "There ain't no gay cowboys in Wyoming"

oh how we laughed...

I have never seen Brokeback Mountain, as the other half won't let me watch it while he's in the house, as he doesn't believe in gay cowboys. Cowgirls, yes. But cowboys: no.

Also: it seems to just be about gay cowboys and a touch depressing, so I haven't really been in the mood. For months. And I think Jake whatshisface looks a bit simple.

For the most part, Wyoming was played by the Canadian province of Alberta.

sad and depressing, yes, and far too real. it's hard enough to live in an emotionally stunted culture, but add something like that into the mix...

for heartbreaking characters, though, it's hard to beat chris cooper in american beauty.

If you've ever seen The Fast Show, then Heath Ledger's performance is suddenly and utterly ruined by its creepy resemblance to Ted the groundsman.

They don't really say too much for quite a bit of the movie...

A friend says that internalizing and repressing your urges makes you talk funny.

He was at a loss to explain either Philadelphia or Australia. :)

Wyoming is very pretty. Not a lot of gay men here; at least, not openly gay men. But even where I live, in a tiny Wyoming town in the middle of nowhere, town, there are three that I know of, counting myself. The town has probably around 7,000 residents.

I have yet to run into any homophobia here, personally, but it does exist.

It's not stark here; it's not empty, either. It's just full of life you're not used to looking at.
