Movie Review: Brokeback Mountain
Jun. 25th, 2006 11:43 amI finally saw it last night on DVD with
quietchris (she has NetFlix). I’m glad I finally got to see it.
I didn’t find it as sad as everyone else said it was, but I think that’s mostly because I’ve seen this kind of relationship in the bisexual community dozens of times and almost feel a certain, well, I don’t know the right word for it. Empathy? Nostalgia? No, neither of those words are right. I guess I look at it as a bit of history, captured for all to see. However, at the same time I realize that this isn’t a historical “past” for many people, it is the present. There are many men I meet at support groups that are in this kind of situation today. Some are happy with it. Others aren’t. It is what it is.

Movie Review: Back to the Future
Jun. 25th, 2006 11:47 amI hadn’t seen B2TF since it was in the theaters in 1985. I was in highschool.
quietchris and I watched it on DVD last night. Wow! It was fantastic... just as good as it was back then. In fact, it was better the second time because you see how many of the parts connect in ways that you wouldn’t realize the first time.
I wonder if the reason it was such a boxoffice success was that it has a “want to see it twice” factor built-in. And now I wonder that as Hollywood gets more desperate for every last dollar, would they include elements like that in every movie in a vain attempt to get people to see every movie twice. (Or maybe they have, and that’s why DVD sales are so strong.)
