Slog - Comments on This Weekend: Cry into Your Beer at Central Cinema http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/cry_into_your_beer_this_weekend_at_centr Fact #1: I love the Central Cinema, the Central District cinema pub featuring second-run movies, stone-oven pizzas, and beer and wine, all brought to your table while you watch. Fact #2: I've been longing to re-watch Brokeback Mountain ever since Heath Ledger's stupid, awful death. This weekend, my love for Central Cinema and longing for Brokeback Mountain overlap, with screenings Fri-Sun at 7 and 10 pm. Hurray, boo-hoo, burp. P.S. If Brokeback Mountain isn't gay enough for you, Sunday afternoon brings a Mother's Day brunch screening of Mommie Dearest....

I cried so hard when it was playing at the egyptian that I almost threw up. I'm that lame.

Then wear it under your own, and your own little walking brokeback tribute.

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.

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

He was far more accepting of it than Ennis.

I still can't figure that one out.

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.

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?!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!

But is in intense. Don't you think?! I actually think Dan Savage is pretty cool. Who knew?!

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!

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