Oh, thanks - but I must credit Ang Lee, who said on one of the bonus features on the DVD (maybe it was the Logo special?) that he likes the taste of the words Brokeback Mountain. :)

I'm ashamed to admit. I have not looked at the extras on the DVD. I've only been watching the film.

What is it about JG? How much time ya got?
From an old fans pov tho, I'd say looks gets ya first, talent & then that boyish goofiness he exudes from time to time. Not to mention he's rather intelligent in an unassuming way.
All in all, not unlike the kid next door .( I wish ; )
As for the comparison to Monty, I'll pass on that one. Just don't see it. MC had a sort of nervous energy in almost everything he did. Jake on the other hand, a quiet kind of force.
Theres a scene in Jarhead that grabs me every time. See it & you'll know the one.

A quiet kind of force. What a perfect way of saying that. I don't get the Monty comparison, either. Pure matinee idol looks - maybe. But it ends there.
And do you mean the scene in which he finally gets the sniper assignment, only to have it taken away, and the way he's so calm while Peter Sarsgaard goes ballistic?
