Huh, Brokeback Mountain was pretty good! I was right pleased. It had weird pacing and a plot item that rankled a bit (it WAS warranted, but a little too convenient), but all in all, it was a nice bit of relatively subtle, quiet film. And JP was impressed by the good ol' boy authenticity, which I daresay is more than I can vet, so, good enough for me.

Addendum: But did they REALLY have to cram Rufus Wainwright into the soundtrack? I mean, I like the guy, and it was the very last over-credits song. But it still wasn't very appropriate. Rufus Wainwright (correct me if I am wrong here) has a level of erudite languidness, sort of, that is very very wrong in the context of this movie. I can only imagine he wanted to support it, but, eh.

Other Addendum: The short story is here, if you want to read it. It's interesting to see the contrast.
