I've been ruminating on whether to post this, but since I went ahead with my current predictions, I just thought I'd throw this in here as well.... My mother has read Annie Proulx’s story and so I’ve been keeping her abreast of the developments with the film. With the recent rave reviews, I also me...

You just beat me Sonic!

Wow. It's all I can see or feel right now. Wow. And I haven't even seen the movie yet.

Variety's Todd McCarthy likes it, especially singling out Ledger (who has been consistently praised in almost all of the reviews I've seen thus far), though his admiration is more muted.

Got it, Sonic, thanks. And, dude, I love sappy romantic epics: I went to see Titanic 11 times in the theater. So if Brokeback is sappy, I'm so there. But Ang has never struck me as sappy, and I trust him to find the right balance. Yeah, maybe I've just become a fanboy with this movie, but it really...

From IMDb: Stone Hits Out at Zeta-Jones Casting Sharon Stone is furious Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Lana Turner in a new biopic, because she was the screen legend's first choice.

On the other hand, it will be too bad that this film will be forgotton, never mind by Oscar time, but two weeks from now, because it doesn't deserve to be. I agree. Gilliam's films, for me, often seem a little messy (or perhaps chaotic is a better word), and, in most cases, that's just fine, becaus...

I'm assuming you mean Banderas and Stone would be better than Reeves and CZJ...? If so, I concur.

A long-in-the-works project, that originally had Sharon Stone attached several years ago...the only thing CZJ has going for her is her nose (it's just like Lana's), but her coloring is all wrong, and Reeves would, I'm afraid, be woefully miscast as Stompanato. For reference, here's the real people ...

For some reason, CNN is the first to have the full trailer for Brokeback Mountain. At this link, click on "more entertainment video."

I thought we had a thread on this already, but I couldn't find, so I guess I'll start it here.... Anyway, I don't know if anybody got to see Entertainment Tonight last night, but they showed clips from the trailer, which you can watch here ; the trailer itself will premiere in front of The Constant...
