out of the 4 r21 movies i've watched so far, 3 are about boys and boys. if you know what i mean.

have no idea why is this so. my predilection towards gays and trannies and so forth. a soft spot, perhaps? plus it's always fascinating to delve into their secret worlds thru well made films.

i cannot say that Brokeback Mountain touched me, though. granted it was a good movie, worth the dazzling ratings bestowed upon it by the critics. but somehow i just went EURGH (silently under my breath of course) about 1000 times thruout the entire length of it, along with auntie ilynn who was probably doing the same thing beside me - although the irritating bugger next to her might have had something to do with that.

it just felt so wrong. and i couldn't empathize with the characters at all, save for heath ledger, for the simple and stupid reason that i think he's pretty cute. jake gyllenhaal looks like a Joker. i mean the one from the Batman movie. then again he's quite the joker too, seducing poor heath and turning him into a emotional confused wreck. especially so with the ending. no spoilers ahead.

but i digress. the point is, i ain't no prude. the last film i watched about gays (Mysterious Skin) touched me in a way that i cannot describe. you know, the kind of movie that never really leaves you. particular scenes replay in ur mind every now and then, and you'd ponder over them.

but Brokeback just didn't do it for me, i guess. still, it's not like it's awful or anything. lee ang did a great job.

ok nuff of this movie rating business. i forget that exams are but 3 weeks away. bah
