Brokeback

Yes, we saw it (actually weeks ago - I'm just late in posting this). Yes we loved it. Go buy a ticket. I joked that I was going for the cruising.

It was quite odd in a way. Cleveland only has 3 theatres showing the movie. Turns out Cleveland isn't Chicago, NYC, L.A. or DC. 40 people in the theatre. Granted it was a 12:30p showing....but still. Everyone getting tickets appeared to be going to see 'Cheaper by the Dozen II' (so good they had to make a sequel of a remake!). It was almost like going into a porn movie...um......I've heard!!!! "Two for 'Brokeback Mountain' please" - and just two guys going in together.

Odd that the person selling popcorn asked what movie we were there to see. WHEN has any concessions attendant asked you anything but 'would you like to have a large popecorn - it's only $0.50 more'?

But the movie is good. Very good. And though no one snickered, laughed or 'ewwwwwed' at any of the scenes, the jokes start coming. Here are two visual ones
