Brokeback Moutain
Other than the easily misread title and the gradually-more-annoying theme music, Brokeback Mountain is so good!
I will have to say that Heath Ledger does NOTHING for me. I've seen him in stuff, and I just don't find him attractive. And Jake Gyllenhaal looks like a sleazy version of Tobey Maguire.
But the acting was good, and the scenery was pretty (except for the stuff in towns- skeezy towns).
I'm not really sure why this won a Golden Globe for best screenplay since there's a lot of just visuals without dialogue, but, hey.
The first time they sleep together, in the tent... It just kinda came out of nowhere. They cuddle together for warmth and then two seconds later they're taking off their pants.
And it looked like it really hurt... Poor Jake looked like he was in pain. Heath did only use spit as lube, and didn't seem to prep him or anything (but who knows what was left on the editing room floor?). They didn't even kiss, or any other sort of foreplay. Fascinating.
And then they smooch all tentatively the next night, and rub each other. That was kind of sweet. They just had this weird relationship on that mountain, all forebidden and stuff.
Thankfully while it was sad, it wasn't *that* sad. There were certain things that could have been done to make it a lot sadder.
Overall, a good movie. Could have used more nudity/affection, but that's okay. Then *no* guys would want to see it.
Interesting is that the guy I saw it with saw Underworld: Evolution yesterday, which I'm sure was special effects designed to show off the main character's outfit, while today he watched boys. It's good he has diverse taste. But he keeps saying that I need to see Munich, which I really don't want to see.

I still want very badly to see this movie, but it hasn't come out in a very convenient location yet. I suppose I could go to the Palisades or even Pleasantville, but... meh.
At any rate, the way you describe the initial sex sequence is the way it's described in the story the movie was based on. It's really kind of odd. One second they're not doing anything, the next second they're fucking. Very weird.

Like, it's not even that they weren't doing anything... they were lying there, then fighting (or at least pushing each other around), and then they both unbuckled their pants and just... it looked really uncomfortable. I was expecting more of a romantic build up before they did anything physical, but it was backwards, at least that's how I saw it.
I've never seen Jake in anything but The Day After Tomorrow, and he was kinda cute (he fits more of what my "blueprint" is, anyway, with the thin and dark hair and whatnot).

I haven't yet seen the movie so I can't give a critique. But I have to agree with this statement. Heath Ledger does nothing for me either. I never understood his success and apparent appeal.
