The networks in the UK, like the ones here, may not be willing to pony up. Popular first run flicks cost a lot more than older pictures. Crash hasn't been on network tv (just to name one from the same time period.)

I suspect that is probably the reason, but I know Sky movies show it, and they had it as a film that one could pay for on their "Front Row" channel. We have Virgin Cable and to my knowledge they have never shown it at all. I do wonder if that is something to do with content, but as they do have Queer As Folk it seems unlikely. I wondered if there were copyright issues?

There is one -- count 'em, one -- moment in the film when it looks like Heath is acting.  It's when he wakes up after FNIT.  The expression on his face is not quite perfect. 

I guess the rest of his performance makes up for it.

I was also surprised that he looked clean-shaven to me in the morning after FNIT...  Wink

They were 19... maybe neither was supposed to have a lot of face hair at the time. I don't remember them looking scruffy at all on the mountain.

They shaved regularly as a priority. With all that sex, they didn't want to give each other a rash!

I didn't know where to post this but I found this link today and thought I would share it.  I'm sure it's probably been posted before. Sorry if it already has.

Don't apologize.  It's very cool. I haven't seen it for a long time, so I appreciate the reminder.

Harking back a post or three, BBM was shown on free-to-air TV in New Zealand last Sunday. The reviewer thought (slightly tongue-in-cheek) that NZers would maybe like the sheep connection  Wink (I can say that because I grew up there but no-one else is allowed to make sheep jokes  Angry)

Re. FNIT, what was wrong with Heath's expression, Marc? he looked pretty right to me. Re. his stubble, he is a fair-haired man. (Note the "is" - we Heathens now live in a dreamworld.)

I thought the problem w/ Heath's morning-after expression was that it looked like he was acting -- the only moment in the movie when that happens.  It was good acting, but not perfectly natural.

I forget where I posted it, but his expressions in The Patriot were marvelous.

I just checked out the Making of on the Buzz Image link.  Wonderful!  And the music, which is is a variation of what's on the trailer, is so pretty I started to get choked up.

If only the assholes/idiots/... at Universal would put things like that on the DVD.  Maybe I'll make that suggestion to Buzz Image.

I sent this e-mail to Buzz Images about a half-hour ago:

**************

Today was the first time I'd seen your Brokeback clip on your site.  It's a marvelous job of showing your contributions to what I and others think is one of the best movies ever made.

I had a suggestion.  Many people have been frustrated at how incomplete the Brokeback DVDs have been:  no trailer; no commentary; etc.  I've written to Universal and Focus Features, but they don't care.

So my suggestion is this:  How about if Buzz Images suggests to Universal that -- whenever they put out another Brokeback DVD -- they include your material on how the shots were composed?

I hope you have better luck than I did in persuading Universal or Focus Features to do justice to the film.

Thank you for your consideration.

Marc
