Boys kissing and well...boys kissing

[webbgirl]

aostara was kind enough to forward a piece from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal in Elle magazine this month. Of course, I read the snippet and was completely unable to function at work for quite awhile. As soon as I recovered though, I ran right over to Ralphs and bought the magazine. 'What's the snippet already?' you ask?

Jake was talking about his upcoming movie with Heath Ledger 'Brokeback Mountain'.

After their inital tryst, the young men flee from each other and get married. But four years later one gets in touch with the other and, unable to resist, they arrange a rendevous. What ensues is an explosion of physical passion so fierce it all but leaps off the page. "Heath almost broke my nose in that scene," Gyllenhaal says, laughing. "I mean, he's so happy to see me. The great thing was that we decided--Well, he grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take." Gyllenhaal grins. "I got the shit beat out of me."

Ummm...GUH!!!!!!!! Well, if I wasn't already planning on being first in line when the movie opened before, I sure as hell am now! I'm also planning on buying the 'Director's Cut' DVD as soon as it comes out (no pun) so that I can see all the yummy scenes that they'll most likely have to cut out to get an R rating instead of an NC-17.

And now, yet another in the long list of reasons why I'm going to hell...

My roommate is Catholic and she has several pictures around the place that are biblically related. There's one that is the scene from the bible where Judas betrays Jesus. Of course, I look at it and think 'Wow. Cool. An old picture of two guys kissing.' I'm soooooo frying.

Um, wow, there is a God? ;) Haven't heard of 'Brokeback Mountain' before, but I'm *really* looking forward to it now. When does it get to theatres???

No word when it's going to hit theaters yet. It's in post-production though so I figure early 2005.

It's based on a short story/novella by Annie Proulx. I've read exerpts, but I'm getting the collection it's in off of Amazon this week.

They filmed that near here, so I had to get the book. It's OK. I've read better, but I feel this will be the best movie I've ever seen. For purely artistic reasons, of course.

It's all about the art, of course.
