Ang Lee and Annie Proulx...
...helped by a couple of hot young men, are going to help to slap a taboo out of Hollywood! Brokeback Mountain, a relatively little-known novella by Proulx, is being brought to the screen by Lee (and just for that reason, I can't wait to see it). But the catch for Hollywood is that it's about 2 cowboys who do the usual working-cowboy thing together, meet girlfriends, marry, bring up kids - yadda yadda.

And they fuck. Together.

Aside from the fact that this is the first time that Hollywood has even come close to accepting a portrayal as no-shit as this, what has really got me hot for this movie is that Jake Gyllenhaal (yay!!!) and Heath Ledger (who?) are in talks about playing the 2 lead roles. Neither of them are gay, of course, and aside from Jake's beauty, this is why it's such exciting news. I knew Jake was a no-bullshit actor and all. But this just *underlines* how no-bullshit he is.
