Let's Do the Brokeback Again


I can't imagine any of my readers don't already know that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Ang Lee's masterpiece Brokeback Mountain and that it's getting re-released into movie theaters for the ocassion -- in case you haven't already bought your tickets and gotten your Jack Twist cosplay prepped here is a link for the former endeavor anyway. And Focus just dropped the above new poster for the occasion as well. I like that Jack & Ennis actually get to touch now here 20 years later, as opposed to the original one-sheet (seen below). That's called progress! Anyway this movie and MNPP itself are pretty inextricably linked -- we just celebrated our 20th anniversary and my writing about Brokeback is what originally got people coming over here to visit. (Notably my pal Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience became a fan and so I started writing for him and yadda yadda here we are.) If you click that last link and keep scanning through the many many pages you'll see -- we've been talking these beautiful sad boys for twenty straight (ahem) years. I don't expect that to quit either. Because why? Say it with me! We don't know how to quit them!

Despite the presence of Anne Hathaway, this movie is so...EVERYTHING...that I've only been able to watch it once. I've attempted to watch it again but just can't bear it.
