The Brokeback Cult: The New Testament

[Meryl]

High Priestess thank you for keeping the cult alive. The spirit of BBM will last as long as the Mountain itself.

I will always be a Brokie....

A solemn YEEHAW to that, mouk.  Thanks, dear friend.

I felt the need to repost this:

In hopes of warding off an internecine conflict, I offer the following Creed for consideration, in which we honor Story, Screenplay and Movie equally, thus making all aspects included in these texts worthy of celebration.


THE BROKEBACK CREED

I believe in Annie, the Author Almighty,

Creator of Ennis and Jack,

And in Larry and Diana, her chosen Adaptors,

Who conceived of the Holy Screenplay,

Suffered under obtuse Producers,

Were criticized, flamed and turned down.

The seventh year they rose again to the task.

They ranched up with Focus Features

And sat at the feet of Ang, the Director Almighty,

Who proceeded to cast both Heath and Jake.

I believe in the Holy Story, the Holy Movie, too,

the Communing of Shirts, the Force of Nature,

The blessings of Brokeback Mountain,

And love everlasting.

I swear.

YeeeHawwww!!!!

Oh wow, better learn the creed by heart again before you all come

Yee-haw !!

I love it!  Be sure to recite it somewhere wonderful when you're up there, friends. 

[mouk]

We will, oh Great Priestess !

We sure will, while tucking down shirts and opening bean cans!

May it come to pass
