Steven came over yesterday and we did important stuff like getting our passport photos done, and unimportant things like making chocolate flapjacks. We also watched Brokeback Mountain which I was disappointed with. Was my illegally downloaded copy wrong or did every character in the film mumble incoherantly? We had no idea what was going on! That

Keith my pasty white butt I thought that too! Ahaha! But then, I think of those little Colinisms a lot.. :\
it's like there's no feeling up until that point... None at all... Exactly! I was expecting to see a growing attraction, a bonding (mental!) between them at first before they just.. got it on! I'm all for abstract films which don't explain in patronisingly clear terms what is happening at every moment in the film, but there needed to be a clear showing of their relationship evolving! When Ennis' wife saw them kissing I thought "Ooh, this could get interesting", but there was still mumbling and nothing really happened. The ending was quite sad though - the cut to Jack being beaten (it was Jack right, not just Ennis' memories?) especially.
I move Saturday - easier to move home and sort all my worldly possessions out for uni. (And play with my new laptop which should be delivered by then! Eee!) I really don't get on with my family when we're together in a family way. The occaisional cup of tea and emailing works fine but that's about it! So I shall hide in my bedroom and possibly have an X Files marathon :D

Yes, a growing attraction! That's like what you get in the book... well I think so, a lot more anyway... That kissing scene outside the house is probably my favourite bit in the whole movie... there's just so much more feeling in that scene! Though I can't watch it these days without thinking of Colin and Ryan ^_^ They are so Brokeback... all they need are the cowboy hats... Ryan even has the western style shirts... Those two would have been SO much better in the movie!
But then, I think of those little Colinisms a lot.. :\ Nothing wrong with that you know, I spend far too much time thinking about the fella...

Ooh, if my Dad talked over slashy moments then there'd be issues :p Mum's are weird like that, forgetting your eating habits! My mum's always asking me if I want [something, like peas] with my dinner when I haven't eaten them for years! Tsk. I have one brother who's fifteen, Tom, who is a total nintendo geek, know-it-all and generally annoying sibling :p I don't remember you mentioning any brothers or sisters, but then I don't really so what about you? :)
Ryan and Colin as Cowboys would be fantastic! Whenever I see/hear a romantic OTPlike story or song I always think of Ryan and Colin! *gets sidetracked by cowboy hat wearing Whose Liners* ....
