There he was, 40-some years old, and his grown daughter had come to tell him she was getting married. I can't believe he won't ever get the joy of this happening in his real life. It is so unfair.

Ironicly I watched it on cable just BEFORE I found out about the death.
To be honest after Crash ( a movie I loved ) won best picture back in 2005 and people kept saying the Brokeback Mountain was robbed I disagreed. True I had never seen Brokeback Mountain and made the erronous judgement about what was so special about ' gay cowboys.'
I was completely wrong.
I watched it a couple times and in my opinion decided that while still thinking highly of Crash, Brokeback Mountain was indeed a superiour film.
The last Scene with Heath in the trailer and the two shirts..wordless wonder at the emotional impact.
It was one of the most beautiful and painful films I had ever seen.
Then the next day finding out on the news about Heath's death I was sure that there had been some kind of mistake.
Unfortunately there wasn't.

Interesting post Eric. :) Thanks for bringing it here.
It's funny, after all this time I'm still enormously irritated by the whole Crash/Oscars fiasco... I still feel just about as raw about it now as I did then. I would have hoped that by now I would have gotten over this... but, sadly no.
::)
To this day, this is me on the topic of Crash and the Oscars. ---------->

Interesting. Thanks for posting these Eric.
May I just say that, as someone who hasn't been here much lately ( :-\), I just love the fact that we still refer to IMDB as TOB. It made me smile when I first saw this thread.

Egad, that poor guy. To watch BBM for the first time, only to hear about Heath's passing the next day! How heartbreaking. :(
