Reports of my demise were slightly off the mark,
I am not dead (WTF! if you said I was; nevermind, if you didn't notice) -- I'm just v v busy. If I missed something important, lemme know, because I'm not checking back over four weeks of LJ.
In other news, I managed to get my smarmy paws on a copy of Brokeback Mountain which was not terribly easy as it's not being published anymore, full stop. (Yes, that's the gay cowboy story) And I have to say that considering it checks in at a whopping 58 pages long there's a whole lot of room for interpretation.
Did I mention that said book is travel-sized, the font is at least 14 pt, and I read it in 90 minutes?
Yeah, so, um, I can't wait to see the movie. I think. If it's true to the text then 'yay, we get smut' - but while I was reading the story I kept thinking 'dude, it's like a short fan fic,' -- only not quite as well written. The entire thing was published in The New Yorker at some point, I believe, and there was some beautiful imagery and I'm not even an imagery girl. So, if you can get a copy you should, but don't, like, wear yourself out or anything. Go read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay instead.

no subject
well, let's not forget that by book 4, Whats-his-name has slitty, red eyes and a nose like a snake's. Methinks there'll be a fair amount of makeup involved no matter who they get. I'm more concerned, like you, that somebody too high-profile is going to distract people from the fact that this is *Voldemort*.
what the hell does Estuary mean?
Um. Well, I know what an estuary is, but i don't think that's what they're referring to here. It must be a class or regional classification of accent. This is more a Z question. Um. Hi Z! *waves* I can see what they're saying about Tom Felton's accent, though. He's about one step away from flat-out Cockney, and that's *not* Draco. Spike, maybe.*g*
And what can I do to make you write more of the crack? I'm greedy and need more. More!
I was working on it yesterday, but...but...I don't know, nobody knows what the hell they're doing, least of all me! *wails*
