Finally made plans to see Brokeback Mountain next week. While it has been getting good reviews, and seems to be drawing record crowds...three caveats...

1) It is only playing on both left coasts;

2) It's an Ang Lee film; and

3) How many people are seeing it not because it is some wonderful love story, but becuase it's about two gay cowboys (and, as many of my female friends remind me, hot men), hopefully eating pudding. It does seem like the scandal factor will be drawing most people in, and not the film itself...
