"This is a very short parody of the critically acclaimed Ang Lee film Brokeback Mountain. It was shot, as usual, with painstaking detail to replicate the sweeping panoramas and majestic beauty of Mr. Lee's cinematography. Seriously. We spared no expense."

The introduction of host Jon Stewart at the 78th Academy Awards began with a clip showing a tent on top of a mountain and a narrator introducing "your host... Billy Crystal!"  Crystal popped his head out of the tent and declined hosting the show, saying "I'm busy."  Chris Rock, the 2005 host, then popped his head out of the tent and said, "I'm busy, too."

Looking to climb Brokeback Mountain?

Head to Canada
By Jayne Clark, USA TODAY - Feb 2006.

The hottest spot on Wyoming's tourist map these days doesn't truly exist.

It looks like Wyoming: The Canadian Rockies were the setting for much of Ang Lee's 'Brokeback Mountain.'

But that isn't stopping fans of Brokeback Mountain from ringing up the state's tourism office with queries about how to get there.
....
"The way it's set up, it would be hard to think it wasn't Wyoming," says tourism spokesman Chuck Coon. "Even people who live here think it's Wyoming. We're not claiming it, but we're sure enjoying the fruits of this movie."




ps.:  One place name in the film that does exist is Riverton, Wyo., though many in the community of 10,000 aren't particularly thrilled with the inclusion. It's an emotion shared by many old-school ranchers and farmers around the state who aren't big on the movie's homosexual content, [tourism spokesman Chuck] Coon acknowledges.

At The Boot, one of two bars in Riverton, owner Sally Lozier says that the movie has stirred up "a whole lot of controversy around here. The ranchers, the cowboys are really upset."

MASCULINITY AND BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
No Man's Land
by Christopher Orr  -  April 2006
....
No, the real difference between Call and McCrae [of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove] and Ennis and Jack isn't about the appearance of homosexuality but the disappearance of homosociability. The former lived in the late 1800s, a time when there were still wide open spaces to conquer, wildernesses where men could be men and could be with men--sexually, platonically, who was to say? In a border hamlet like Lonesome Dove, let alone in the wilds of Montana, no one could complain if two men lived together, given that all the marriageable women had been left behind in Kansas City or San Antonio. Indeed, the life that Call and McCrae shared--two bachelors running a ranch together--is exactly the one Jack dreams of, and pleads with Ennis to undertake. But the modern world denies such a possibility. Land is no longer free to anyone with the nerve to take it, and "civilized" expectations--marriage, children, work--pertain everywhere. Even on Brokeback Mountain, Ennis and Jake must negotiate the conflicting rules of the Forest Service and the rancher who hired them.

Very interesting column.

The animated series Drawn Together  parodied Brokeback Mountain  extensively in the episode "Xandir and Tim, Sitting in a Tree" with the relationship between Xandir and Captain Hero's gay alter ego Tim Tommerson, even referencing the film's famous line, "I wish I knew how to quit you."
