Title: "Fictional Places We Love" article
Post by: fernly on September 30, 2007, 10:31:01 am
The travel section of the San Francisco Chronicle has an article today about a top 10 list of "...favorite unreal places, not because they are the most beautiful or Utopian (yawn), but because the description or script struck a chord that made us yearn to go there ..." and rightly so, Brokeback is on it.

Fernlly---Thanks. That is so cool.

It is such a beautiful place as depicted in the movie--for the breathtaking scenery and for what it gave Jack and Ennis.

Brokeback Mountain--As in a place we would like to "revisit"--I think most of us have our own Brokeback Mountain in our hearts too.

Wow, this is so  8). Thanks for posting it, Fern.
The article even mentions the findingbrokeback site. And I had to smile about this:
"Some "Brokeback" devotees use the nearby town of Ten Sleep as a jumping-off point for pilgrimages"

Now how does the author of the article know this, and about the findingbrokeback site?

OK, so it's OT, but I am ridiculously happy to see that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick made the list.  ;D

The Mouse that Roared is one of the funniest things that I have ever read.  :)

I was wondering the same thing. And did you notice the author's name? SPUD Hilton? LOL
