I just discovered that BBM was shown in Boston Monday at the Cooledge Theater, where some of us got together to see it in the screening room last year.

Because it just needs to happen, the Coolidge is showing "Brokeback Mountain" tonight at 7pm. The layers of tragedy will, over time, accumulate around this imperfect movie and its great, deep performance -- and its greatish, deepish ones, too -- until everything about them assumes the impression of wisdom. We'll search this movie and Ennis Del Mar the way we might someone else's soul. We leave a little more devastated, a little more lost than we did the first time. You'll watch Heath Ledger and think the ache in his heart and in his bones seems realer, more contagious. Bad news has a way of doing that to an already iconic piece of acting. Have you seen "Rebel Without a Cause" lately? Of course, the Coolidge could just as easily have shown "Casanova" to remind us that the world has lost this happy, horny dude, too.

I just got an e-mail from my sister-in-law’s cousin, Paul Lieberman, who is the LA Times entertainment reporter in NYC, in response to my e-mail to him about the article he wrote yesterday about Heath.
He mentioned that he wrote a piece for the LA Times last fall on Ang Lee and told me that during their interview, he mentioned to Ang what his film had meant to groups like our message board! :) :) (I had told Paul about my involvement with Bettermost and about the other forums when we had lunch in NYC last spring.) That article is mostly about "Lust, Caution," but also talks about BBM several times.

On the negative side, Paul said in his e-mail that he’s gotten a couple of “shockingly homophobic” e-mails in response to his LA Times article
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-ledger7feb07,1,3885175.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
about Heath yesterday, that he referred to as “fury directed at someone merely for playing a part.” >:(
