IT’S BROKEBACK’S WORLD. WE JUST LIVE IN IT
Okay, I’m going to try and nutshell all of this week’s news. As of
yesterday, Brokeback’s box office tally is just under $44 million dollars in the US and a little more than $10 million overseas. That means, even before the Oscar nominations have been
announced, the movie has officially turned a profit, so put that in your pipes and smoke it wingnuts! Towleroad has a great interview with Brokeback producer James Schamus. And today
brings us Oprah’s Brokeback Mountain show with the entire cast, including Jake Gyllenhaal, who flew in from location to make his first promotional appearance with Heath Ledger. No word which of them will be the one to jump up and down on the couch.
Wingnuts cannot be happy about today’s show, as the Oprah seal of approval is so powerful that if the Falwell-Dobson-Robertson Axis-of-Bigotry tried to boycott her, she would smite them with a snap of her fingers.
As for the week’s various awards, Brokeback took top honors at the Producer’s Guild Awards, and Ang Lee will likely win Saturday night when the Director’s Guild hands out its trophy....
