From what I've been hearing, now every male lead in Hollywood wants to do a gay film after seeing what Brokeback Mountain has accomplished.  You can be sure few of them will actually turn out to be masterpieces.  I have a feeling we're about to get inundated in romance dramas with gay characters.  The cynical side of Hollywood has already seen success in gay romance stories as being a great new form of the "chick flick."  Boyfriends already uncomfortably tortured by watching Brokeback will now have to endure much, much more.   :)
