A Brokeback Round-Up

February 15, 2006 by Andy Towle

Here’s something Towleroad reader Anna Mae brought to my attention that I found interesting in a bit part factoidy kind of way. The sultry hustler Jack Twist picks up on his dalliances south of the border was played by Brokeback‘s handsome cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto.

Brokeback_singaporeIn Asia, Brokeback is to open in Singapore, where gay sex is punishable by two years in prison. Said a film critic there: “I think Singapore’s view is that people in the heartland don’t object to showcasing films with these themes _ even if they don’t necessarily accept the lifestyle. Also, ‘Brokeback Mountain’ by today’s standards is not very controversial. The two characters suffer a lot, the film is very tragic, it wins sympathy from the audience.”

Defamer reports on a Q&A at the Aero cinema with several cast members, writers and filmmakers.

OutwestMontana’s OutWest Global Adventures travel vacations has renamed the Montana ranch vacation they offer at a 12,000 acre spot near Red Lodge the “Montana ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Ranch Vacation because of a surge in interest: “The scenery and the cattle drives will remind you of riding with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal; however, the lodge is far more comfortable than a tent and the food is much better than beans from a can.”

The company’s owners, Aaron Kampfe and David Heinzen, have been together for almost 20 years. Says Kampfe: “We’re the real Brokeback Mountain, only nicer and less tragic.”

I know some of you are tired of the Brokeback posts, but you’re gonna have to stand it until the Oscars. At which point, I’ll hopefully be taking a major Broke-break myself.
