Roger, Ebert, I read you: Brokeback Mountain (2005)
I don't have much to say about this one except that I congratulated myself while watching it for having predicted who would be the bottom. It's a very well-made movie that never stirred a single passion in me, and I'm not just saying that in a defensive hands-over-butthole kind of way. I remember when I drove through Casper, Wyoming with my friend Paul Rodriguez (not the stand-up comedian) and we both said that it seemed like a nice place to live. After this movie and Boys Don't Cry (1999), I'm glad I have that memory or else I would be unjustly terrified of the plains states.
Here's another boring one wherein I think Ebert's review is well written and agreeable. He liked the film more than I did, but he's much more articulate about his feelings on this one than I am, too. Score this one in the "Ebert's review is better than the movie" column!
