Movies I want to see
There are 4 movies I want to see in the very near future. Here is my list and why I want to see them:
Jarhead: Well, DUH! Jakey is just too damn dreamy. I have been researching the concept of the movie and I think it will be interesting to see.
Brokeback Mountain: Has anyone else heard of this one? I bet HD has. Here is the preview reel.com gives the movie:
Two cowboys/fishing buddies fall in love with each other in this 1950s romantic drama. As they live in an unenlightened age, they go their separate ways, marry women, and start having children. When they are reunited years later, they find that their love for each other has only grown stronger over time
Now for the clincher…guess who is playing the cowboys? Heath Ledger and Jakey! The movie is rated R due to sexual situations and nudity. These are major plusses for me!
The Dying Gaul: This one is about a playwright that is hired to write a script about his lover dying of AIDS. It is a drama and I think it will be interesting.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: All I have to say about this one is that Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr lock lips! Val plays a gay private detective and Robert plays a bad guy…should be good.
That’s my list for now…

I can't wait to see it. From my blog:
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.
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.
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.
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.
The buzz is that this is a universal story of love that anyone can appreciate. You don’t have to be gay to relate to a gay love story any more than you have to be straight to cry at the end of Titanic. I didn’t watch As Good As It Gets just to see Greg Kinnear play the prototypical gay neighbor. I’m gay, but I could relate when Harry and Sally. Jerry Maguire had me at hello too.
In Details magazine, Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays Jack, observes that the movie would have made just as much sense if his character had been a woman. Yes, but I’ve seen that movie—about a thousand times. It’s our turn.
I’m so excited about this movie, I can hardly see straight. Yes, I want to see some hot, steamy love scenes, but even more than that, I want to see your boyfriend cry.
