    Brokeback Mountain

    Do we actually know how much sex and intimacy is shown in the film? Hollywood has been squeamish before in showing male intimacy; this movie may have nothing more than one or two scenes with them lying in bed (or in the haystack) with their shirts off. But Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger are such babes, and I especially like Gyllenhaal's acting (and he seems to be a really terrific person), that I will definitely go see the movie.

    Secondly, Robert Knight needs to come out of the closet.
