Gay Cowboy Movie Update

[kingandy]

Every report on the Oscar nominations on Radio 1^[1] last night mentioned "Gay Cowboy Movie Brokeback Mountain". Munich was just "Munich", Crash was just "Crash" and Syriana was just "Syriana" (though they did once mention that George Clooney played a spy in it, so I assume it is about spies).

BBC mainstream news, however, has tactfully upgraded it to "Cowboy Romance Brokeback Mountain".

Which actually sounds like a manga, but that's by the way.

Don't worry, it's not the focus of the story. It's a timeless tale that just uses 70s America as a backdrop. Like Firefly, we love it despite the cowboy trappings, not because of it.

I love Firefly partly because of the cowboy trappings. They, like me, are cool.
