Another great BBM post, WDW. Thank you so much...
Just yesterday I finished reading a very good short book on Annie Proulx' Postcards and BBM, by Marc Asquith:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/22Brokeback-Mountain-22-22Postcards-22-Continuum-Contemporaries/dp/1847064558/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257719317&sr=1-6

The author draws many interesting parallels between Ennis & Jack, and other Annie Proulx characters, and gave me lots of food for thought.

Hi there Anon :D I saw that - I think now the people going to the screening are only expecting Jim Sheridan now, but I can't blame them hoping for Jake! I wonder if we'll hear about the screening.

New post! New movie!!

It doesn't look like Jake will be in L.A. tonight for the Brothers screening:

Livia, that shows so well just how current Brokeback is and it's wonderful to hear that people are continuing to see it, discover it, rewatch it and want to talk about it. I'm especially glad I did a Brokeback post today now - thanks!

Hey BBMISwear :-) Definitely a lazy day. Today does feel like a little island of calm - in a lot of different ways. Have a good day!

Oh I just love when you "crank open the archives chest" WDW - thank you!! I was hoping with Pine Creek day being yesterday there would be a BBM post. Makes me happy and sad at the same time, though.

I love all the BBM connections...Livia from Hugary with her well timed experience and WDW connecting with Brokie friends...it lives on with so many of us, doesn't it? *heavy sigh*

LOL at not moving 6 feet all day...this pretty much describes me too! I've been looking forward to this 'day of rest' for 2 weeks and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it before things get busy again tomorrow. Hmmmm...wonder what video clips I should watch. :-)

Speaking of...more fun stuff in the week to come I bet. Whoowhee! Things just keep getting better and better!

Enjoy the rest of the day!

I've just finished watching BBM on DVD which I just recently got, and this was the first time I could see it in English. So far I only had the opportunity to see it dubbed in Hungarian. And when it was over, I turned on the internet and saw how 'current' I was. There's a new post again on BBM. As if you were reading my mind...
Thank you for it :)

Thanks very much, Anon :D

I've most certainly fallen for Dastan - hook, line and sinker :) I can't wait to get to know him better.

Beautiful post today - Brokeback will always be one of my most favorite and moving films. I'll say more once I've had a chance to think on today's post.

Dastan is making an impression me, and I wasn't sure he would - since I've seen him in action and heard his voice. :)

Hi Sweetpea :) The Noughties are the 00s. They're not awards, just polls. We'll get lots of those at the end of the year - good to see BBM on them. I would have liked to see Zodiac too...

BBM speaks to us all, goes way beyond groups, and so it is difficult to sum up. I'm glad the interview is new to you. It's always a pleasure to talk Brokeback - especially on a Sunday, before we get going again with PoP, Sesame Street, Brothers (hopefully).

I hope everyone's having a relaxing Sunday. I've moved about 6 feet all day :D

Thank you WDW for bringing up BBM, what are the noughties? (does it mean this last 10 years?) I didn't know there were any awards being given out for best pics. BBM seems to me a movie that will stand the test of time. Even catagorizing it seemed to be hard for both Ang and Heath and Jake. I think it is so much more than a "gay cowboy movie" It shows the difficulties of finding someone to love and how hard it was for them to really realize it.

Just when I think BBM has been talked out (that everything has been said) I see something I didn't see before. I didn't read the interview with Ang and Jake so this was a bit new to me.

I hope Jake will always look back on BBM with fondness and know how many lives he changed for the better and how the movie as a whole pushed so many to examine their lives and try NOT to end up like Ennis and Jack.

Thanks, I hope you'll continue to mention BBM from time to time.

No matter how many movies Jake goes on to make he'll always be Jack Twist to me.
