It's a hard knock life.

a) lalejandra wrote me a crackalicious The O.C./My So-Called Life crossover (because she's the bomb, yo!), which I know everybody wants to read right-the-fuck-now, because I know everybody still wants a piece of Jordan Catalano.

2) Someone please explain to me why Ang Lee is angsting about a fucking kiss on a gay film that *he* signed up to do, obviously knowing what the film was about!? The entire film is around this relationship. It's not like this is some new shit that the studio suggested or something. WTF! I guess this means we're not getting any of The Sex. Ang Lee is on my list now.

c) Also, who bought the Dukes of Hazzard DVD's? I know somebody did. Don't fake. Where's the Smallville story where Uncle Luke comes to visit for real?

Because he is a complete twat?

"Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen." (from the article)

Aha! It's because he's Welsh!

Oh, I don't know. Sheep herding can be pretty fucking hot.

*adds Ang Lee to list* Maybe if he has a problem with it, then he shouldn't do gay-type movies. But that blurb made me love Jake all the more, for copping to having had same sex crushes.

Haven't bought the Dukes DVDs yet, but I'm totally going to. Possibly my first fandom. I have a Luke Duke doll (gift from friend) that's 1 of 12,000 made. Weird thing is the box lists Merle Haggard as singing the theme instead of Waylon Jennings.

Where's the Smallville story where Uncle Luke comes to visit for real?

Can't write, but I'd read the hell out of it.

Check it out, Dukesfest2004. (http://www.cootersplace.com/dukesfest2004.html)

Oh, wow, for $46 (incl. shipping and handling) you can get your DVDs autographed by Ben Jones (Cooter). Tempting.

I just spent 15 min. surfing www.cootersplace.com. Sheesh.

Someday the mountain might get 'em but the law never will...

omg.... *hates on Ang Lee* ...well, just a little hate.

I've been waiting for Brokeback Mountain for too many years to let the notoriously inaccurate IMDB gossip column ruin it for me. I might believe it if Ang Lee tells me in person that he's worried about including a gay kiss in the film, but until then I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for the best. ;-)

I've had a bad feeling about the film ever since I heard Lee was directing it. I normally don't even go to his movies anymore, because everyone I've ever seen has been horrible.

For the record, Ang Lee may be angsting about what-the-fuck-ever (and yes, how stupid is that if he is), but I'm fairly sure our dear Mr. Gyllenhaal was being facetious when he mentioned the sheep.

Every interview I've seen him in he's demonstrated a wit like dry kindling.

It's funny. Just the other day I read an art house movie blurb/article about him that praised him for his unflinching depictions sexuality - gay and straight - in his non-mainstream films. Then again, the key phrase there would be non-mainstream.

For some reason, I can't make myself quite believe imdb this time (or maybe Jakey was kidding?). I mean, SHEEP HERDING?! The Fuck?! Is it some kind of stupidass metaphor where instead of flowers opening and volcanoes erupting, there's a bunch of sheep running through the fields with the boys giving each other Moogly Eyes?

I can almost somewhat understand downplaying the HOT COWBOY GAY HOMOSEXUAL MAN-ON-MAN SEX part of it to the media but, dude, there *will* be kissing, herding of sheep AND hot cowboy gay homosexual man-on-man sex. --Or Mr. Lee will be getting an Angry Letter, or possibly I'll just give the voodoo doll of him to horny sheep or something. (If I find horny sheep somewhere.)

Ang Lee is clearly on crack. He signed up for a GAY COWBOY MOVIE ABOUT TWO MEN IN LOVE. What did he think it was gonna be about!? There was all this talk about it being a mainstream gay movie with popular actors and how the sexuality is such a minor thing these days and he's worried about a KISS? If the kiss goes in, I'll go to the theatre and get charged way too much money. If the kiss doesn't go in, I hit Kazaa and Ang Lee can kiss my ass. Similar reason I didn't see Troy. If the movie business will turn their backs on us, I'll turn my back on it.

I was just talking to my gay boyfriend yesterday about the Big Gay Cowboy movie, and I was telling him about that. He's in love with Jake, and I thought he might start crying. WTF? It is a GAY story! Fucking hell.

(Btw, did you know that Brad passed on playing Hephaistion to Colin's Alexander because Jen told him it would fuck with his macho image? This is not from my made up verse. It's so real. Fuck Jen and fuck the world.)

I read that article and wondered:

a) Do directors ever read the book? Does anyone explain the plot of the movie?

Producer: Yes Mr. Lee. We want you to direct a cowboy movie. It's about... cowboys. And their... friendship.

Ang Lee: Yeah, ok. I can do that.

b) Is it really Lee, angsting, or is it the film company?
