"Even Cowgirls get the Blues" is directed by Gus Van Sant, who also worked with River in "My Own Private Idahao" and with Joaquin in "To Die For".

Hunh? Why? I think she's dreamy.
And, yes, it's Rain Phoenix... sorry for not responding here earlier. Isn't it true that Gus Van Sant had his "hat in the ring" for a long time hoping to direct Brokeback Mountain? I'm really glad he didn't (although I do like some of his movies).

I'd love to see a Van Sant version of BBM. Love the few films of his that I've seen - my favourite is 'Elephant' which has to be one of the most atmospheric and unsettling movies I've ever seen.

That's what I read repeated times, too. IMDB names GVS and Joel Schumacher as directors who had been interested.
Though I liked MOPI very much, liked Good Will Hunting and think Drugstore Cowboy wasn't bad, I'm happy that Ang Lee did it and not GVS.
A good deal of the magic of BBM comes from it's ambiguity and the subtlies, and I don't think GVS would have made a subtle movie. I think he would have made a far more blunt movie.
But maybe I'm not fair, because I love the movie so much as it is right now. I can't imagine it with another director, or with other leads, or with another score, and so on.
It was a blessing that all the talents from Annie Proulx, Ossana&McMurtry, Jake, Heath, Michelle and so on (cinematograpy, score) melted together into such a beautiful piece of art.
And since this is a cowgirls picture thread, how about these two? They're cute, aren't hey?
