Brokeback Mountain

it's utterly impossible for european ears to judge whether these actors are getting their coached american accents right (esp. if one of the accents is texanian). so while i thought this was an ok movie, solving the accent question kept me pretty preoccupied during the screening.

by all means, i'm not the target audience: "Brokeback Mountain" has been banned from selected theatres in utah, hooray!! (gay? cowboy? movie? first the marlboro man gets cancer, and now he's gone gay as well!! omg.). some intensity over there.

and here? i recently discovered that there actually ARE people in MY environment that suffer from homophobia (ok thats comes down to one sort of men having problems with another sort of men). honestly (have to be careful here), i had to laugh, couldn't take it seriously cause it's such a past issue; even for my mother it took less than 15 years to lose prejudice and to grow up.
