Updates

Not anything specific -- well, maybe. It becomes apparent, though, that maintaining a blog is as much work as writing the posts themselves, especially if you're a baby blog like this one. Be sure to keep your eye on the links and other stuff in the sidebar -- always changing, with new features, new sites I've found, new Brokeback posts (mine and others' I've decided -- why hog all the glory?).

Speaking of Brokeback (you knew this was coming, didn't you?):

This is really my first experience with the Internet mediating the experience of important cultural phenomena. I'm not talking about the wildmons, who as far as I'm concerned are an aberration, but things like wildly popular and controversial movies. Some of the commentaries I've run across in teh blogosphere are really substantial and thought-provoking -- as much or more than the "legitimate" media.

That said, here are some of the more recent:

A big update on Brokeback from Andy Towle at Towleroad. Towle and Dave Cullen are really Brokeback Central. (Cullen's really cute, too.)

A quiz, yet. It had to happen: Which Brokeback Mountain Character are you? Take the quiz -- leave your results in the Comments.

A heartfelt and very interesting response from a correspondent on Brokeback Mountain, and some later thoughts.
