IT’S BROKEBACK’S WORLD. WE JUST LIVE IN IT
Okay, I’m going to try and nutshell all of this week’s news. As of yesterday, Brokeback’s box office tally is just under $44 million dollars in the US and a little more than $10 million overseas. That means, even before the Oscar nominations have been announced, the movie has officially turned a profit, so put that in your pipes and smoke it wingnuts! Towleroad has a great interview with Brokeback producer James Schamus. And today brings us Oprah’s Brokeback Mountain show with the entire cast, including Jake Gyllenhaal, who flew in from location to make his first promotional appearance with Heath Ledger. No word which of them will be the one to jump up and down on the couch.

Wingnuts cannot be happy about today’s show, as the Oprah seal of approval is so powerful that if the Falwell-Dobson-Robertson Axis-of-Bigotry tried to boycott her, she would smite them with a snap of her fingers.


Oprah's show was a very satisfying experience for Brokeback fans. Oprah was lavish in her praise about the production, the acting and her guests. Good television. The four guests -- Heath, Jake, Ann, and Michele -- class acts all. It was Oprah's show at its best. Go to Oprah's site.

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
