The above article is a nice interview with Dave Cullen, founder of The Ultimate Brokeback Forum.  He talks a little about his history, why he thinks Brokeback Mountain influenced so many people, and some of their members' future plans.  It's definitely worth checking out...

Thanks,

This is pretty good Lynne, very diplomatic from DC though.

Lynne:
Which parts did you find 'diplomatic'?  The analysis of why Crash won Best Picture over BBM? or was it something else?

I don't spend a alot of time at www.davecullen.com, but when I first learned of his work, I did read all of his blogs annd Salon articles about gays in the U.S. military.  I thought he's a very talented writer who comes across as an 'everyman' - a good observer of human nature who doesn't take himself too seriously.  I recommend these to anyone who hasn't already been exposed to his writing.

About 'Crash', I saw it this weekend...It was OK, just fine, some good performances, but I can't see how anyone would even put it in the same category as BBM.  And I think I have enough perspective now to be objective there.

Maybe non-confrontaional would have been a better word?  Well he didn't abuse at anyone and he merely recounts the possible contributors for Crash's win over BBM rather than giving his view/perspective.  It read more like a commentary rather than providing any insight into what he thinks.

TJ:
I don't consider Mr. Dave Cullen to be an "everyman." I have read some of his comments in his own forum where he seemed to claim he knew everything and on certain subjects related to people in the Central States, he seems to know very little.
