I had a link to the post in my mailbox where I've set up some basic email notifications for 'brokeback mountain' and some of the relevant contributors...I actually saw the story yesterday, but I hadn't got around to posting it yet, so I knew where to look.

I've been preoccupied with getting Suzanne Brockmann's dedication to Hot Target posted...it's on 'Now What' and in 'Safe Haven' (Thanks to Impish).  Have you read it?  When you do, please tell me what you think.  I'm very excited about getting to meet her this summer in Atlanta.

Thanks!
Lynne

That Contra Costa Times piece on grief was totally right on. Thankx for posting. 

I just watched Ang Lee's "Eat,Drink,Man,Woman" this evening, following his two earlier films, "Pushing Hands" and "The Wedding Banquet." One can certainly see demonstrated his profound interest in showing how we hide truths from each other, and from ourselves, and how our secrets work to injure and in some cases destroy our connections with, quite often, those persons closest to us, those whom we most love. I come to more and more appreciate this man's talents and skills and his approach to his art; his is a great gift to the world.   
Ennis and Jack, the dogs, horses and mules, a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water through the timber and out above the tree line into the great flowering meadows and the endless coursing wind.

Iris - You're very welcome.  I liked that piece on grief very much too.

Everyone is way ahead of me....i saw Sense and Sensibility and The Wedding Banquet this weekend.  AND now i have to add The Hulk to my queue - I refuse to believe it doesn't have a profound message hidden somewhere  ;)

Heath costars with Geoffrey Rush in Candy.  As I understand it, the movie opens in Australia soon and will be in the U.S. sometime this fall.

Really and truly Lynne, forget about the hulk.  Even before I watched it I thought it was a bad idea to make hulk a fully CGI character.  After all, as a kid I loved the 70's TV series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno and I didn't understand how they thought CGI would work at all let alone be a good idea.  But even though I made sure I went in with lowered expectations, I still managed to come out feeling disappointed.
