Brokeback Mountain on Oprah

Roland! Hey, I live in Indiana. We ain't too good at cipherin' around here.
Thanks for the info. I really did think he was talking about a television station. <blush>
David In Indy:
God. I just went back and reread what he said.
What was I thinking?
My mother always said I should "think before I talk"... or in this case "think before I type".
Geez, how embarrassing. :P

These threads sometimes remind me of that "telephone" game. You know the game, don't you? One person will whisper something into the next person's ear; something like "President Bush is an idiot" and by the time it gets to the last person in the line it has changed to something completely different, like "Your dog needs a bath".
It certainly keeps things interesting. But it's very weird.

Oh god, I was just thinking that this might have become that kind of thread!
The Thread of Misunderstandings and Political Incorrectness. Let's change the Topic name.

--- Quote from: ednbarby on November 02, 2006, 04:40:03 pm ---And I agree with you, Seaweed. Wholeheartedly. I actually fell in love with Jake when I saw him on Leno prior to that appearance for the very same reason you put so well. He just sealed the deal on Oprah, at the precise point in which he said "What're you gettin' at?" He was also particularly gracious in saying how he defers all compliments to Heath. There's none of that competitive bullshit with him. I doubt you'd hear Matt Damon say that about Leonardo DiCaprio in The Departed or any other actor with basically equal billing about his colleague in any other movie. Sure, they'll praise other actors for their performances, but not like that.

My God ednbarby great minds think alike ! Ha.
It has always been my position with regards to Jake and Heath; both so very different in the way they deal with their interviews (Jake so comfortable and warm, with Heath very humble and uncomfortable) that they are both so well spoken or downright honest in their responses. I absolutely love Jake's interview on Leno and his kibitzing with Ellen Degeneres, he wins me over each and every time. The same goes for Heath, you can literally feel his level of discomfort, let alone see it, then he just blows you away with his very humble approach to life and what he believes to be important. And to echo your comment on the lack of competetive B.S. from Jake, I recall Heath's comments from the Brokeback DVD (the Logo special I believe)... where he comments on the lack of competetiveness in Jake, and the fact that he is there to help everyone else. I couldn't possibly be more in awe of two fine actors I've come to love as individuals and in particular as Jack and Ennis.

Yes, they're both such lovely young men each in his own way, aren't they?
It's funny - I find my intensely passionate crush on Jake is fading in the last couple of weeks. It was inevitable - I think I needed the idea of him to give me something I was missing in my life at the time and now I don't need whatever that was anymore. I'm sad in a way because it was a very enjoyable crush to have (I have quite a vivid imagination when I really set my mind to it). But I still adore him - just in a more platonic way, now. And Heath, too. Again, what you said about him is right on the money. He's so uncomfortable in his own skin, and you can just feel his discomfort when you watch him in an interview. But he's so humble and lovable and profound, too. I find it interesting that he seemed much more comfortable when Jake was there with him on Oprah, or perhaps it was the knowledge that Michelle would be joining him, too? I think he's someone, very much like me, who isn't good at being the center of attention and is greatly relieved when someone else with him is.
