Though in their defense, some are writing sensitive, moving tributes.

I'll agree with this.  In the last few days, I've seen a surprising number of journalists on TV really jump to Heath's/Brokeback's defense (over various insensitive comments, etc.).  For instance, just a little bit ago I was flipping through channels and went by Nancy Grace.  Normally, I really can't handle her.  But, I happened to catch her saying something rather nice about Heath (about respecting his memory, remembering that a tragedy occurred here, etc.) in response to something irritating that one of her guests said.  It wasn't the most eloquent statement ever made either, but at least her intentions seemed to be at least appropriate and relatively sensitive. 


But, it's true too that the sheer volume of the coverage (and a lot of it really is pretty bad coverage) is becoming overwhelming and a bit hard to take.

I'll just re-state what I mentioned earlier... it's so nice to hear from Ang Lee... and I'm looking forward to hearing from more of our Brokeback people.  Their opinions, feelings and impressions regarding this tragedy just mean so incredibly much more to me than the mass media... that I really do appreciate their statements.  Or at least Ang Lee's statement.

Janice said she saw a video of Ang saying this.  Can someone find and post it?

I read that when Ang Lee was promoting Lust, Caution in Japan, the reporters attending a press conference were specifically instructed not to ask questions about Heath's death.

I wonder if Proulx will make a statement.

I would be very curious to know the reactions of citizens of places like Rockyford and Fort Macleod in Alberta, where the movie was filmed.
