Has anyone read Annie Prolux's Brokeback Mountain? If so, please spoil me about the ending! I want to know what happens in the 'heartwrenching tale', because if it really is totally sad and meep, I want to know like way before I go and see it (whenever the movie comes here next year or something)!

Isn't there really at least ONE gay book/movie/whatever that has a happy ending? Argh!

It seems like happy gay people are like the Yeti. There may be lots of talk of them, but apparently none has yet seen them (on film).

*off to shoot some Hollywood ass*

Yup. Every gay person in a movie is either a sad bastard, has AIDS, dies or is a campy silly guy who never gets any ass.

*hates*

Why can't there just be stories about stuff and not like The Gay Movie? How about an action movie where the guy just happens to be gay?

*rants*

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Okay, so I need to buy hankies.

Yes, I bought and got the tickets. You owe me 50 eur, but there is no hurry. the concert starts at 20.00 and we get inside at 18.00 So we must prepare to go and wait for like five hours before ;) Me and my friend are going to arrive by train before noon and use your generous offer for a place to sleep in the evening. I have not yet come with a plan how I manage to find the other people on my f-list in the queue (phone number swap?) for chatting but we have no other plans with them. Food at some point would be nice. Have to decide wether or not to try to smuggle a camera in.(I have free space in my bra...) The next day we are tentatively meeting a friend who just moved back to Finland.

And I will definitely think of something fannish to wear.. How about some Nsync gear ;)

SPOILERS!!!

I've read it, and yes, it's pretty sad, but the characters also have a couple of decades long relationship before the other one dies, so it's not completely devastating. Do you want to be spoiled more than this?

You can read it here or I can send it to you as a Word file, if you'd like to read it. Despite the sadness (and one pretty unrealistic sex scene) I thought it was a very good read. I read it to Teh Bunny too and he got a bit weepy, but you know we're just pathetic little crybabies the both of us, so that doesn't mean that the story is All Angst with a big A.

Meep!

I had to go and buy the book, 'cause it was like so cheap and I want to read it as a real book and not as a 'fic'. :D But thanks for the offer, dear!

And I can deal with a sad story if the guys have had some kind of happiness and it's not one of those eeek they're gay they must all fucking die! -things.

Oh hey, it says that the book is 64 pages long. You have that on word? And it seems the damn book is sold out everywhere, so...

*hides*

Brokeback Mountain is only about 15 pages, but there are other stories in the book too (it's a collection). I only have Brokeback Mountain, so I can only send the gay cowboys. Just did, in fact. I hope you won't hate the story. I mean, I feel free to hate it, of course, but I wouldn't want to throw complete shite on my friends. You know how that is. Blah, I'm rambling.

I love that book! And now they've made the movie! I hope that works....

Someone's probably already told you the ending by now so I won't....

Even with the heavy spoilers, I'm still going to buy that book and will definitely go and see the movie when it comes out early next year.

*sigh* Still waiting for the day when the fact that the main characters in a movie are gay doesn't automathically make the movie 'a gay movie' but just a movie...

I know what you mean!

It was wonderful to find Christopher Rice's novels - gay characters in mainstream fiction. And a brilliant, genius writer too!
