Crouching Lion, Hidden Talent

It's happening as we speak.

First Venice, now Telluride. The reviews of Brokeback Mountain are beginning to trickle in.

It looks like Ang Lee's done it again. Most reviewers are floored, and the IMDB board is buzzing with excitement. The few nay-sayers have criticized it on the way the story progressed, that Ang Lee should have done this, or the characters should have done that... but hey, that's in the source material, so that's that. Chillax.

Wait.... news just in... yes, there are unconfirmed reports that the Motel scene HAS been included. I repeat, the Motel scene HAS been included. You folks out there who've read the book know what I'm talking about. Ever since this project was first announced, it was widely believed that this pivotal scene would never see the light of day, and the crucial dialogues would be distributed throughout the film. We can all relax now.

Dare I say it... those two words... Golden Lion? Can this film win the Golden Lion? According to some critics, that Cat's already in the bag.

Critics are raving about Heath Ledger's understated and muted performance. Even those dissing the film admit: the lad's got talent.... who knew?! Jake G's great as always, and predictably, the rumour mills are grinding away... could it be Him? Is Jakey G, in fact... Toothy Tile?!?

Gossip really is the lowest form of discourse, but I'd personally be surprised if it wasn't our own Jakey boy. After all, he seems to fit Mr Tile to the T.
Toothy T. or not, I must add... I hate you, Jake G. I hate you and your 12 year-old-boy hairline.
