Hi Thrindle,

I watch QAF and the actor is not gay in real life and yes, he IS bloody gorgeous.  QAF is in its 5th season has lost much of it's impact.  I believe it's the first time I saw a graphic sex scene between men on TV, even cable.  Have you checked out the L word?  They have a super-sexy actress, Kate Moening who plays a character similar to Brian.  I'm female, btw.
Does Anyone Know Where I can get the soundtrack/score to BANANAS?

I've heard about "The L Word" but I don't think it's playing in Canada yet.  I'll definately check it out.  I'd love to see a female Brian character, minus the stereotypes that would come with being a woman....
Classic.

Anna Faris Climbs Brokeback Mountain
Source: Alex Thursday, May 20, 2004

In a USA Today chat (via AnnaFaris.net) with "Scary Movie" trilogy star Anna Faris revealed that she has a small role in director Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Anne Hathaway, Randy Quaid, Michelle Williams, and Scott Michael Campbell.

Adapted from a short story by "The Shipping News" writer E. Annie Proulx, the story centers on two men (Ledger and Gyllenhaal) who meet one summer as sheepherders in Wyoming and form a bond and love that spans 20 years. The film tracks that time period and their evolving relationship.

Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana wrote the screenplay. Thanks to 'Alex'.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

What, the "discuss this news on the coming" part??  :wink:  (I think that cut and paste had a mind of its own.)

Larry McMurtry writing the screenplay is a good sign. That in combo with the Proulx and Lee connections means no silly gay-romantic-comedy fluff; we will hopefully have real human beings in this one.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

'Will & Grace' funnyman Sean Hayes has signed on to appear in director Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain during the summer hiatus from his hit series. He joins Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Anne Hathaway, Randy Quaid, Michelle Williams, Anna Faris and Scott Michael Campbell.

Adapted by Larry McMurtry from a short story by "The Shipping News" writer E. Annie Proulx, the story centers on two men (Ledger and Gyllenhaal) who meet one summer as sheepherders in Wyoming and form a bond and love that spans 20 years. Hayes will play an openly gay ranch hand whose free spirits and sense of humor help ease the tensions caused by the forbidden relationship.

Ang Lee speaks out about Brokeback Mountain!

Adapted by Larry McMurtry from a short story by "The Shipping News" writer E. Annie Proulx, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain centers on two men (Ledger and Gyllenhaal) who meet one summer as sheepherders in Wyoming and form a bond and love that spans 20 years.  Ang has said that he hopes his film will come across as "gay romantic comedy fluff; without any semblance of real characters".   He went on to say he hopes his film would be a "gay version of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days".

This is one of the only threads that has a mention of Anne Hathaway, yet i feel I can't talk about how pretty she is here.  :(
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

That's crazy!! This isn't an anti-heterosexuality thread, ya know.  :)  Homos who can't embrace heterosexual feelings in others are as dumb as hets who can't accept same-sex feelings in others. We all of us alike just need to get over ourselves.

Sean Hayes as comic relief is the movie's first uh-oh. This is much less a case of "Wow, that sounds great," and much more a case of "Wow, I hope that doesn't ruin the movie."

Actually, that bit of news was just me being sarcastic.  :wink: But I guess it was a little too realistic, so... the cat's out of the bag -- there's no reason to worry.

I certainly expect the movie to be well rounded and honest, and it's definitely one of the films I'm looking forward to the most at the moment.

Did you come up with that? You oughta write for The Onion! Like all great satire, it's absurd... but not so absurd as to be unbelievable (I believed it- the movies have done much, much worse).

Yeah, I had to resist adding some detail about his character wearing a trademark purple nekerchief or suede chaps.

:yabbse-thumbup:

I have to say, I'm very impressed with the whole fake Variety item. It seemed really real, but if you had it running in a venue where people knew it was fake, it would be hilarious. You should create a "humor corner" of some sort on your blog and post such things there. That was good stuff.
