do what i did. i drove over an hour, from san antonio to austin because i just had to know what all the fuss was about, and i went alone. it was fun, and although the movies maudlin theme was a little painful, im glad i saw it. you dont need someone else to watch a movie!

It opened Fri. 1/20 in Midland and Odessa, TX and it is still playing here, wonder why it would not be in San Antonio. Unfortunately it hasn't made it to the Drive-in yet.

(Your astrological sign is a blast, BTW).
Thanks for sharing your story. Makes the movie even more real to me. [The damn Yankees city-slicker].

Bob said: I don't have anyone to go see it with, though.
Your guardian angels are always with you. They will be seeing it with you.

Can`t wait seeing Brokeback Mountain. Unfortunately I will have to wait until March for the start in Germany. Is there anyone from the Munich area among you guys to join me?
By the way, I want to introduce myself, I am new to this site and I love it. Good to know that I am not the only one on the world who likes vintage washers!
No offence, but I really can`t tell which of the fundamentalist should scare me better, the Christians or the Moslems?

Oh, we are SO not going there, Mrboilwash. But welcome to the site, anyway! Be sure to watch all the videos. There's a lot of stuff to see at this site.

Oscar Nominations

I have it on good authority that Brokeback Mountain has been nominated for:

Lead Actor
Supporting Actor
Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams)
Cinematography
Director
Original Score
Picture of the Year
Adapted Screenplay.

I was wondering how they figured out who was lead actor and supporting actor. My friend Karen said it was determined by amount of screen time. I though it was based on top/bottom

I actually got the nerve up to see it this morning. I"m still not sure waht to think. I kept a shell around me to keep my emotions in check (very unlike me). It is haunting.

Allen is here visiting and we went to see it today too. I thought it was an excellent movie. Some parts are hard to watch, and it's the first time I've cried at a movie (several times in fact) in a long time. But it was very well done, and I think if it does well at the Oscars, that will send a message that really needs to be sent.

BTW, I think we were the only gay people in the theater. Several middle aged straight couples, and many senior citizen women. I saw several of them leaving the theater while waiting for Allen to come from the restroom, and I could tell they had been crying, too.
