SOMETHING'S BEEN GOING ON AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ;

Whoa, guys, I just wrote my first really angry letter-to-the-editor. And I wasted a lot of time on it, but I was so angry at the time that I had to do it. Hurrah for me. It's in response to a review of Brokeback Mountain from the Globe, which you can read hereAlex Beam ( Read more... )

I read the article and agree with you on all counts.

"Another explanation for the limited appeal of ''Brokeback" is that millions of moviegoers don't want to see men making love to each other on the screen. ''If heterosexual men in heartland America don't flock to see 'Brokeback Mountain' it's not because they're bigoted," Kaus writes. ''It's because they're heterosexual.""

That paragraph made me fuming mad. I'm so glad you wrote this letter.

wow. Good job. I totally agree with you. I haven't seen the movie yet...because it isn't here in Durango yet (gets here tomorrow!) but from everything I've heard and read I think I'll enjoy it. I've known 7 (yes, I just counted) hetero guys who saw it and loved it. Reading this Alex person's review made me upset and I applaud you for writing your response. YAY JILL!!!!!
