A couple of stories surrounding the Brokeback Mountain caught my eye today.
The first was an interview with Annie Proulx about her writing of the short story and her feelings about the film version. She sounds like a remarkably compassionate woman - 70 years old and writing a love story of two queer male youths with such passion, is a gift! She makes some really salient points about what the story is about and who will see, and who won't, and why. Give it a read!
I then stumbled upon our Idiot the Great - GW's ever-so-INarticulate response to one young man's question about Brokeback Mountain. Just say, "No, I haven't seen it, thanks. Next question." What the hell is his problem? Is he that self-conscious? Embarassed? Stupid?
