Tonight I saw an advanced screening of Brokeback Mountain for the DC area.  All I can say is, buy your tickets now.  But don't expect a movie with a roller-coaster ride of emotions.  The movie is about wistful longing and repression, and it's one that just builds without any true catharsis.  At the end of the film, I was more angry than anything

Aw, peanut you should have asked me to go. Then I could hold you and pet your head and tell you it would be alright.

Well if you haven't seen it by the time we actually meet each other, we'll definitely have to go.

Lucky you!

We have to wait until the 26th of January before we can see the movie.

I've been worried about how sad it's going to be.

Awwww. I am now a blubbering sobbing fool.

I'd rather be a blubbering sobbing fool in my own home than in the cinema. Nothing I hate more than crying in public.

I've kind of been anticipating this movie's release date for a long time. When the chance came to see it, I had to pounce on it.

It's weird, but I still think about it everyday - it actually parallels a story of mine from college which I might post later.

What's the children's book that's from, btw? :)

Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary. I don't why I love it so much - maybe because it was a very "adult" book (dealing with divorce and such) for its time.

From what I hear, the dialogue is taken straight from the book. I read in an interview that Annie Proulx herself said that watching the movie was painful for her because it was such a great adaptation, it was difficult for her to relive the characters again.

I don't know when it is opening up here. Everyone so far is having to travel to see it.

[itsabouttimedc]

Yeah - it looks like the closest place to you is in Oaks, PA (wherever that is).

Hmm...I've heard of it, but I don't even know what county it is!
