taking it in the pokey
did anyone else happen to read close range: wyomng stories? i picked it up because i am too excited to see jake gyllenhaal and heath ledger do it. anyway, it turned out to be really good. it's kind of affected, but if you can get over your distrust of the author of the shipping news appropriating the cowboy idiom, it's very energetic prose. one might say the author is drunk on honky-tonk, but it's still pretty good.

Then there were the player-haters who (at a screening of Jarhead incidentally) laughed at the preview of Brokeback Mountain. (Of course, Chauncey might as well admit that there will be an inevitable adult film knockoff called Bareback Mountain).
But what provoked such hilarity was the sight of Heath Ledger longingly taking a deep sniff of Jake's denim jacket.
That being said, I too was surprised at the book. I hated the Shipping News, but this was palatable, if somewhat overwrought in its attempts to be authentic.
in fact, kistulentz, i am producing such a film right now. "bareback mountain" will be filming in tarzana, california later this month. i was thinking of you for the part of bi-curious oil can henry's employee # 2. i imagine you know your way around a dipstick. also, you do double anal, right?
