We been going up to BetterMost all these months now. What keeps us coming back, LOL? It's a very strange . . . and wonderful . . . phenomenon. I couldn't get thru the day w/o touching bases with my BetterMost friends! Now, I hurry home from vacations LOL because I need to get online again! What keeps you coming back??

I thought I'd just re-ask the original question that started this thread. Nowadays, I have a new, sad reason for coming back. It's because I've shared, not only the good times, but the bad times with my friends, after tragically losing Heath, and a devoted Brokie friend Jackie, in the space of two days in late January. There's nothing like a shared history to cement friendships. Thank you, fellow BetterMostians, for being there.  :-*

One of the most memorable pas de deux I ever saw was for two men, performed to the slow movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.  In the age of AIDS, it was tremendously moving.

Could not agree more.
I saw the version of Swan lake where all the swans were males.
Completely amazing,stunning,you name it.I used to do ballet untill 18 and never thought a male version of that ballet would work,
I was so wrong.
Guess that's why I keep comming back here.People with open minds,open hearts and of course a certain fascination with a certain film.

--- Quote --- What would you change in the movie/story if you could? For the short story I would change nothing, it is a magnificent achievement which stands alone.

For the film, I would try to balance the additional material inserted by the screenwriters about Jack's heterosexuality with equally measured material about Jack's closeted gay activities when he was away from Ennis. I believe this would lead to a more balanced and truer version of the life of a closeted man such as Jack.

Additionally, I would have Ang Lee leave in the final cut the brief and humorous exchange created by McMurtry/ Ossana in the 1972 "Blue Parka" camping scene. Ennis arrives late to meet Jack, he smiles and shows Jack a surprise he has for him in a paper sack. It is a can of beans.
