For all Jack's skills as a herder, of the two cowboys he was a bit more of a bungler, especially when it came to opening cans or shooting coyotes.

The weirdest coincidence - I realized that the word network has "two" in it, and that there is an "E!" network that hadn't been played.  So I went Googling to find something BBM-related from E! and found this - that tomorrow they are premiering this show about Heath.  How weird is that?

Proulx, 70, in town recently for the premiere of Ang Lee's film adaptation of "Brokeback Mountain," says that while she was "blown away" by the movie, she doesn't welcome the return of Ennis and Jack to the forefront of her consciousness.

"Put yourself in my place," the author says. "An elderly, white, straight female, trying to write about two 19-year-old gay kids in 1963. What kind of imaginative leap do you think was necessary? Profound, extreme, large. To get into those guys' heads and actions took a lot of 16-hour days, and never thinking about anything else and living a zombie life. That's what I had to do. I really needed an exorcist to get rid of those characters. And they roared back when I saw the film."

That is unbelievable - what an amazing coincidence. And kudos to you for realizing the word "network" has the word "two" in it.

Film Independent's 2006 Independent Spirit Awards were held - as usual - in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica. The award show which bills itself as the coolest of the bunch attracted lots of big names from the world of indie films, including a lot of Oscar nominees.

The last major award show before the Academy Awards pretty much toed the line when it came to handing out the big trophies. "Brokeback Mountain" took home the Best Feature award and director Ang Lee scored the Best Director trophy.

Another clever use of "two."
