BelAir:
i know i'm not official and all...

but during the first days/months/etc. of brokeback fever I would wake with jack and ennis on the mind - you know just streaming them in my consciousness... it was like that this morning with Heath.  "heath is gone, heath is gone, heath is still gone" but there were images of him smiling over and over

It's certainly hard to go on with our normal discussions of Brokeback at the moment.  But, I think that continuing those conversations in the future are actually very, very important to honoring Heath and his legacy as an artist.  I feel a real sense of responsibility now, as a serious Brokie, to make sure that Brokeback continues to be taken as seriously as possible as a film and as an important story/message.  I think it's almost more significant than ever to continue demonstrating exactly why serious debates and discussion still matter.



But, yes, carrying on any kind of normal conversation is tough at the moment.


I feel like we're all going through a grieving process.  At the moment, I feel a little exhausted by the whole situation.

I still wait for someone to say it was a mistake. God, how I wish. But it's not.

Yes, BetterMost will continue on. I also don't have the slightest interest in discussing the movie or story. Irrelevant, as Jeff said.
The day will come, when we won't come to BetterMost for grieving, but for meeting friends, laughing together and having fun here. Yes, we will continue on. But it will be different. Alone the thought that there will be no news anymore on HHH makes the tears well up right now. BetterMost will continue, but it will be different because our love for Ennis and Jack will for always be linked with the grief and hurt we're experiencing now. It will get better, but it will never get back to like it was before.

Morning all,

Nice day today, 21 degrees, a few clouds.

I am actually feeling pretty good this morning. I just posted on the Heath, Heath, Heath thread if you want more detail. Or send me a PM.

Hugs to all of you,

Leslie

I feel a twinge of regret that his last role was such a grotesque and sinister one. However great his performance may prove to be, that somehow seems like an unfortunate note to end on (though I know in the Big Picture nothing is unperfect).

His now never-to-be-completed role in Terry Gilliam's latest project looked like it might have been a welcome antidote to the dark and disturbing Joker.
