No confirmation on the HBO website yet but I saw the ad for the Fall Movie Sunday Night lineup last night and again tonight and HBO is advertising Brokeback Mountain in the line up.  Yee Haw... for all of us who said HBO was the one with the backbone to show this wonderful film in primetime.

I'll keep you posted if I hear any more... ;D

FANTASTIC!  Great news Victoria.  In June, Delta Airlines had BBM as part of their movie selections on their trans pacific flights.

I saw the ad for the first time yesterday evening. The movie seems to be scheduled for their Sunday lineup, where they're apparently pursuing a love/romantic angle in their broadcast choices. It was so cool to see clips (however fleeting) from the movie, especially coming so unexpectedly.

I too saw on HBO that Brokeback was coming on after Sept. 10th..  I am very excited about this also.

The other day I was looking for a movie on my pay pwer view cable, and saw that BBM was still there.  I have the DVD so why bother, BUT I did notice that it listed the running time as 1:36.  Has anyone else seen that?

I wonder how many stars HBO will give it, in the movie description.  They gave Crash 31/2 stars.  They usually give Oscar Best Picture winners four stars, automatically.  We shall see very soon.  It better not get less than Crash!

On oay-per-view, it gets three, like the "other" "good' movies...

O/T I kept getting ads for "Crash" on my "personal" page at Amazon--finally found a little square where i could click "not interested"! Usually, they have me pegged pretty good...
