Thank you, Bruce! I strongly suspect you're right. Now I don't feel so perplexed -- the Naked Librarian is even more burlesque than I'd remembered! :laugh:

Although some threads are filled with profound observations and insights :o , I must confess that some of my favorite threads are just fun and silly. ;D
A few of my favorite humorous threads (hope you enjoy them too!): :laugh:

Toast:
It was early 2006 and all I had seen of Brokeback was the trailer. The domestic American trailer.
I had read the novella, I had read the reviews and I was just itching to download the film.
The screener rip had not appeared yet and I was so impatient to see if this film could live up to Annie Proulx's words.
The trailer I had been watching seemed ok, but seemed a bit earnest and almost "unemotional" in a real human sense.
But then I saw the French trailer - as in France.
and I was so surprised to hear this Aguirre guy talking about scrawny asses
and one of the cowboys was doing this dance and collapses into the pots and pans.
And I laughed and relaxed, and I knew that Annie had made it into the spirit of the film.
The Oscar screener came online and I dowloaded the single CD version first
Then I discovered the double disk files giving more image detail to the movie.
Now I have the official full screen and wide screen versions, but my favourite scenes are those where Aguirre speaks Proulx(ian), and Jack does his dance for Ennis.
There are so many enjoyable scenes, but these two bring back that new warm feeling of a new great movie.

Loved your story, Toast :D
And it reminds me of a very early Brokeback story of mine:
March 2006, I was on my way to the theatre to see Brokeback Mountain for the first time. Along with me came Kerstin; I had asked her if she wanted to come to the theatre with me and see BBM. On our way, she asked me what the movie is about. She said "I only know it's about two cowboys. They're brothers." - Boy was she wrong :laugh:
