Brokeback
Last night Megan and I headed to the Campus Theatre to see Brokeback Mountain. This was a very good movie-going experience for many reasons:
1. We live in a fairly conservative area so we were worried that it wouldn't be released around here at all.
2. The audience was great! The theatre was packed. Two people even brought babies, one of whom Megan and I sat directly in front of. Now, if you've ever gone to the movies with me, you know that babies + packed theater = lots of cell phones going off, people having loud conversations, kids screaming, and someone jingling their keys. However, none of the preceding happened. It was amazing.
3. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal jumping off of a cliff into a river. In the buff. Maybe this should be number one.
4. The movie was all about the story (a *good* story), and not at all about cgi.
The movie was really amazing. I was crying by the end of it.
Comments
Top 4 reasons why it was great that I skipped it:
1) Had to watch TV in case Jenn was on the evening news as the only one to see the movie in this conservative area
2) Staying home with Henry is quality male bonding
3) No scene with Denise Richards in the buff jumping into a river. Maybe this should be number one.
4) No cgi.

I was trying to convince Agathe to see this movie. Then we read about guys jumping around in the buff. Now Agathe is trying to convince me to see this movie.
