Last night was cool.
picara and I went to the City to meet
acostilow and see
Brokeback Mountain again. We got to Quail Springs Mall about 5:30 and kind of wandered around a bit. I got some chicken nuggets at Chick Fil A and we picked up the tickets.
acostilow got off work at 6, then we went to the Gap for awhile before the movie started.
I was so excited that Brokeback Mountain was actually showing anywhere in Oklahoma, let alone a major theater like the AMC at the biggest mall in Oklahoma City. And it was on two screens! The theater was packed--I'm pretty sure it sold out. We sat around and made comments about other people in the theater. We busted out the sodas we'd smuggled in before the lights even went out, because everybody else was waltzing in with outside food in front of god and everybody.
picara made a list of the food she wants to eat when her jaw isn't wired shut anymore. We saw a preview for
Thank You For Smoking, which looks like it will be hysterically funny and has Rob Lowe, J.K. Simmons, Sam Elliot, William H. Macy, and Adam Brody in it.
I love this movie so much! It was even sadder the second time through, because I knew what was going to happen. Um. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger are really pretty. The audience was really weird; they kept laughing at inappropriate times. Like when Geary sees Jack and Ennis rolling around together on the mountain, I was all "Oh shit," and most of the audience burst out laughing. I mean, WTF?
All in all, it was a pretty good night. I enjoyed getting to finally meet
acostilow, and I fell even more in love with the poor doomed gay cowboys. The end.
