Then again, Ruby Rich calls Nathan Lane Nathan LEE for some bizarre reason and another writer refers to Ennis and Jake instead of Jack. I guess proof-reading is a thing of the past, lol! Anyway this carelessness makes one question the validity of the rest of the piece but overall I think the issue makes for a good read.

I caught those too, oilgun. And one writer referred to Captain Kirk and DOCTOR Spock.

Postings and discussions here and on the Dave Cullen site over the past year seem to me to be far more insightful. Got a vague feeling of critical annoyance and patronization that Brokeback Mountain had become such a touchstone by the manner in which some of the articles were written. But, as I said, I read it in a rush and need to go back over it slowly. I hope I am proven wrong. But, if not, Film Quarterly needs to hear from us

Nevertheless, would somebody mind bringing a copy to the BBQ? I went to all four of the biggest bookstores in Denver and wasn't able to obtain it. Thanks!

Dang, the whole issue sound like a mess. I think I'll keep my $10. ;)

Edit: Damn, I don't have the receipt so I may have trouble getting a refund.
Could someone who has the missing pages scan and post them, I'd really appreciate it.

I have a copy - can you PM me and let me know what pages that you know of are missing? As far as I know, my own copy is intact (although it got a little wrinkled up in a recent rainstorm that would have impressed Noah.....)
Sheriff Roland:
Pages 41 and 42, as well as 59 and 60 are missing from my copy. Oilgun did send me an attachment with those pages which I could send you (or you could PM oilgun and ask him to send you the same, if those are the pages you too have missing ...)
