Well, the big day is finally here - the Sacramento area finally gets to see Brokeback Mountain! And two of the theaters it's opening in are very suburban cineplexes, so folks in the 'burbs will at least have access. I'm really curious about who shows up on opening day during the day - it's a work day (I'm taking vacation) so it will be pretty hardcore fans, I'd think. The big question for me will be whether I have the energy to sit through it twice in a row (I bought advance tix for the first two shows); the first two times I saw it I was so wiped out emotionally I don't think I could have seen it again immediately.
The Sacramento Bee review is finally out (4 stars of course); there's a front page above-the-masthead picture and reference to the review, and pictures on both the front page of the Ticket section and the front page of the Movies subsection. And they also printed that good LA Times article about Heath Ledger (coincidentally or not, Casanova also opens here today). The BBM review timing is ironic since Carla Meyer, the Bee's reviewer, already named Brokeback Mountain #1 on her top 10 movies of 2005!
