I'm sure everyone's seen it, but Brokeback Hogwarts is too funny not to check out. Funny because it works, although the shirt bit did have me cracking up. I actually don't really like Brokeback Mountain parodies- I agree with Steven King when he says that parodying and joking about BBM is America's way of trying to pass it from culture. But this one works for me, because even if you say the subtext wasn't there in the book (fair enough), it was put there in the movie. (When the director refers to Lupin as "everyone's favorite gay uncle on crack", yes. The subtext was there. No, it means nothing about the book and everything about Cuaron and it's not canon and all that. ) Anyway, entertaining. Go watch.

Just have a few more finishing touches to make on my remix, and then I can send it in. Whoohoo! I could technically send it in now, but since I do have a little time left and my reader gave me a good idea for the one part I was unhappy with, I'll see if I can't get that in there. Then after I have this presentation done, I can go back to AIL. YES! (As well as doing everything else.)

Better go remix before the baby gets too demanding :)

Yeah, what you said. :) I think the reason society is uncomfortable with Brokeback Mountain is because Jack and Ennis are characters beyond their orientation. Society is fine with gay people as long as they're funny and sassy and well dressed and in show business. Will and Grace? Society can handle that. But put some real humanity behind it and strip away the stereotypes, and suddenly it's not as easy for people to digest. They're forced to admit that homosexuals are (gasp!) people, and that same-sex love can be as deep and meaningful as heterosexual love.
