Where did you FIRST hear/read about Brokeback Mountain?
brokeplex:
About 1999 I read the short story in Annie Proulx's collection of Wyoming stories. I was immediately moved, but I put it aside and pretty much forgot about it until I heard that a screenplay had been written. WOW, I thought but who's goona green light this puppy? I reread the short story several times before 2006 when I first saw the movie. I think that "BBM" the short story is just about the most perfect short story I have ever read. The movie only makes it so much better.....I finally got to see those Lodgepole pines. the bridge, the creek, the tent.....

thankyou Snavel, Bettermost is a great site. I really enjoy the dialog and will try to visit the site whenever I'm near my laptop. Sometimes, I "forget" to pack the laptop when I want to get into the forest and hike.
