Brokeback Mehntain


Much ado about nothing, frankly. I was distinctly underwhelmed; possibly because it was hyped to be so good. It was believable and moving and well acted and everything, it just wasn't interesting. Nothing of any importance seemed to happen, but took 3 hours to do so.

Update: After some thought, I've narrowed it down to one conclusion: stories about ordinary people bore me. This also explains my lack of interest in fiction (as opposed to science fiction). I am unapologetic about this. Ordinary people are boring, and I'd rather not hear about them, especially if they're fake ordinary people.
