will never watch this movie again. I cried so hard when it was playing at the egyptian that I almost threw up. I'm that lame.

I bet you can get some of Heath Ledger's old underwear on e-bay. Then wear it under your own, and your own little walking brokeback tribute.

Decent movie, better the "Crash" but nothing special. I really didn't feel bad for Ledger at the end, i felt worse for Jake(and not the obvious reason) he seemed like a good dude but just truly haunted by his sexuality. Ledger was just a dick, don't cheat on your wife with another person, let alone right in front of her. That being said Ledger was really good in the film.

@3

Uh, Jack cheated on his wife, too. And Ennis didn't know his wife was watching. Durr.

Jake was haunted? He was far more accepting of it than Ennis.

Ok, so why did he become the Joker, though?

I still can't figure that one out.

I'm pretty sure it's "Jack" AND

I'm pretty sure the Joker's going to be a bad-ass role. What's to figure out? I'm just a dumb girl who never *got* comic books, and even I'm entertained by the Batman franchise.

Cheating on his wife? Really? That's all you got from the film--bud dickman?
Perhaps he should have stayed with her in a miserable marriage making both their lives wretched. He didn't plan on discovering the true nature of himself.
Man, why do I have to share air with stupid people?!

I'm pretty sure it's "Jack"

Doh!

@8,

And I'd say the truly bad thing about that relationship was how miserable he made her, which, you know, might be more related to his being in the closet.

Looking at someone naked just isn't as titillating, once I know they're dead.

Does anyone else here watch Mommie Dearest as if it were a comedy?

Thank you David, for the

Hurray, boo-hoo, burp

line. It made me very happy.

We watched "Brokeback" and were both completely unmoved. We decided it was because it's this younger (20s-early 30s) generation's "Making Love," and we'd already lived through that when we were that age.

Not to mention "An Early Frost," "Torch Song" and all the other early 80s gay angst. We were just over it by the time "Brokeback" came out, although I gotta say Jake Guyllenthal is QUITE the cutie.

Oh, Wolf. I'm with you—I didn't even get all the way through Brokeback.

And please accept my condolences for the loss of your partner.

Dan Savage,
You're not even gay. So what that you stick your dick into Terry. When asked whether you would take that "pill", all you said was that you were stuck in your ways. Years ago, on that pathetic radio program you did you advocated for gay bashing--because gays wouldn't fall in line. Hillary's female campaign official (or whatever). You said "you'd do her." I hate you. I do not hate Erica. I just wouldn't help her in a moment of distress. You. I would get out of my vehicle and bash your head in. Then I would drive away. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

Okay I read that in a crime novel. But is in intense. Don't you think?! I actually think Dan Savage is pretty cool. Who knew?!

Central Cinema, it rules.

#4, I know they both cheated. As I mentioned in my first post, just don't do it in front of your place, he went down a few steps and started making out with another person when his wife was at home, durr. Sorry though, it's a movie about queers and they have it so poorly in our society that my straight ass should just keep quiet, durr!

@14: Thanks, it's appreciated.

We did make it all the way to the end, but damn, that seemed like a LONG movie.

@11: You mean Mommie Dearest ISN'T a comedy?
