I have seen Brokeback Mountain and I thought it was the best movie I have seen in years. Heath and Jake just lit the screen on Fire and were equally great!
ReplyDeleteIf you watched the SAG awards, please enlighten me! (I don't have cable.) What did Heath and Jake say (while presenting BBM at SAG) that caused one critic to say their description of the movie was "bizarre and mocking." And why is Heath standing with his hand on his hip like this?
ReplyDeleteThe Oscar nominations certainly seemed to have helped the movie. Starting tomorrow (Feb. 3rd) Brokeback will be playing on 15 screens here in the Indy area alone.
