"Beyond Brokeback" book out next month...
I can't wait to read this book!
Next month, "Beyond Brokeback: The Impact of a Film" will be published. Its content was selected from among the most compelling writing on The Ultimate Brokeback Forum. These writings are said to convey the remarkable power of "Brokeback Mountain" to affect the lives of all sorts of people—straight and gay, old and young, male and female—on six continents.
Ranging from the amusing to the emotionally devastating, the pieces collected in "Beyond Brokeback" crystallize the deep, frequently life-changing reactions of its often-unsuspecting viewers.
It's been more than a year since "Crash" upset "Brokeback" for the best picture Academy Award. The slight just seems more and more egregious as time goes on, doesn't it?
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Mr. Ehrenstein
Let's just say that there will never be book about your column.
You loathed the movie and despise people who found it to be important. Fair enough.
Read the book and be wiser about the people you think so little of. People like me.

Dear David,
How fitting that you would use an announcement about someone else's work to trumpet your own. However, anyone familiar with your shrieking rants on Datalounge (remember the post where you repeated the same word, in all caps, for an entire paragraph?) has long since learned to dismiss anything you have to say as the words of an angry, bitter man. As much as I detest the way the term "self-loathing homosexual" is liberally flung about these days, in your case I'm afraid it fits like a glove.
