katikatBowling yesterday! The first time for me :D Much fun was had and I even won one round. Beginner's luck, I guess. But I could become really good at it. I think. I got back home around 11.15 PM. Hit the pillow shortly after that.
I see that a lot of people love Brokeback Mountain - hearts and flowers popping all around, that kind of love. Me? I haven't seen this movie and I have no intention to watch it. Why?
a) Because of Jake Gyllenhaal. He is a self-righteous, arrogant jerk whose brain and mouth don't have a good relationship. I always have to wonder, why actors who go all "eww, gay" take such parts. If I have to read one more freaking article about how he and Ledger were oh so uncomfortable playing gay and how they are really really really het, I'll start screaming. Paint me weird but when I don't like an actor, I can't force myself to watch his movies. Never ever.
b) I tried to read Annie Proulx's short story that inspired this movie. Sorry, but something that starts with a man scratching his balls and peeing into the kitchen sink is really not my cup of tea *gags*
This stuff put me off so much that I can't even take a look at the posters without raised hackles. Yeah, yeah, I'm shallow for not appreciating this great art X(
