Cynical Nation

Hah, just kidding. As promised, I just finished watching Brokeback Mountain, the move that Hollywood snubbed for Best Picture because it hates gay people. I actually thought it was quite good. The cinematography was beautiful and the soundtrack kicked ass. The movie's message was that it's possible to be gay without looking gay -- unless you grow a moustache. It was a bit too long, in my opinion, but I guess Crash was a bit too ham-fisted in its delivery. I guess I'd give a slight edge to Brokeback, but my wife enjoyed Crash marginally more. I'd call it a wash. We're doing Capote soon, but only after I catch up on a few Battlestar Galacticas.
