Thou...A really hope you all see Brokeback Mountain. Though I haven't seen it, I think it will do you good. By the way, The Wedding Banquet was another memorable Ang Lee film.<BR/><BR/>An excerpt from my blog:<BR/><BR/> Take your man to see Brokeback Mountain!<BR/><BR/>Your husband, boyfriend or Match.com date needs to see Brokeback Mountain. You must insist that he see this movie. Beg. Plead. Withhold sex. Do whatever you need to do. Watching two cowboys get it on will do him good.<BR/><BR/>If he resists, drop this line on him: “I’d wonder about the sexuality of a man who isn’t secure enough to watch a gay-themed movie.” In a world where straight men have evolved to be cool with pedicures, moisturizer and plucking their eyebrows, they can certainly get over their issues with a little same sex nookie on the big screen.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, sure, he laughs at Will & Grace, but his queasiness with male affection is why Will has had about as much on-screen romance as Jessica Fletcher. We’ll never have a truly open society until straight men get over their visceral reactions to seeing two men kissing.<BR/><BR/>Most people, especially men, are still way too hung up over man-on-man action. Heath Ledger, who plays the role of Ennis, knows why some men are uncomfortable with the movie. “I suspect it’s a fear that they are going to enjoy it,” he told Newsweek. “They don’t understand that you are not going to become sexually attracted to men by recognizing the beauty of a love story between two men.” Ladies, give your man permission to shed his macho veneer for two hours. And bring enough tissue for both of you.Marty Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295736502963439515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1131459070872299712005-11-08T09:11:00.000-05:002005-11-08T09:11:00.000-05:00I agree that the hulk wasn't that bad.

If anything, on the hammy side. Sullivan is either reaching... or projecting.<BR/><BR/>Beyond that, Hoffman is one of those guys that is just always good. As the punk rich kid in Secnt Of A Woman, even as the gofer of the Big Lebowsky and certainly as the addicted Gambler in Owning Mahony (am I remembering the title right?), he always seems to be who he is supposed to be.Jay D.

For example, a hypothetical case was made that 5 people who worked together and had been downsized should be able to "marry" to enjoy the benefits as another version of unemployment benefits.<BR/><BR/>Sullivan's rhetoric describing a group of Americans desperately seeking to assimilate is compelling...and also completely sabotaged by the above example.<BR/><BR/>Jason O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1131395226602773062005-11-07T15:27:00.000-05:002005-11-07T15:27:00.000-05:00Who is Andrew Sullivan?Mr. Last, I've often wonder...Who is Andrew Sullivan?<BR/><BR/>Mr. Last, I've often wondered why you waste your time on these obscure internet writers.
