I just emailed him and ended with the thought that if I spot him outside the theater I should probably not shout out, "Hey, Big Sexy! I'm over here!" [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I said yes, 6:45, and please bring other if he will. I would like that, the more the merrier.
I sent emails at 12:54 and 2:13.
I will pm you with my cell phone number.
I don't know what to say about the email. I checked and couldn't have screwed up the address since they were replies. But my replies have been pasted into a pm for you.
Check your spam folder. If I am not in your contacts list Hotmail will consider me to be spam. Their filters are not very smart.
My Dearest Dulcinea,
I have received all emails and private messages simultaneously. I have responded in kind.
Please disregard trav's email. His jealousy is unbecoming.
Until then, My Love,
The Big Sexy

<font size="4">The Review</font>
Review Summary: The slow, decades-long, scarring and painful process of lives being ruined due to societal pressure and inherent human inability to be honest with one another.
The rest of the review:
Great love and suffering are often packaged together. Self-denial is as painful a punishment as any. The death of the heart knows no boundaries.
Everyone should have a love like that. They should be able to own and possess that love without fear.
Beautifully crafted and poignant portrayal of a love that could not be. In the greatest literary tradition of loves that cannot for whatever reason be realized, it ends in tragedy.
A note on gay cowboy <s>love</s>sex, hidden for those whose sensibilities it would offend (highlight to read):<font color="CCCCFF">
Okay, the sex: 15-20 seconds of unvisioned grunting. The Big Sexy is so lucky that I did NOT shout out my immediate thoughts, which were along the lines of - OMG that happened fast and OMG NO LUBE THAT'S GOTTA HURT. Okay, Ennis spits in his palm and it disappears out of frame, but...Damn.</font>
You can feel Ennis' unspoken torture and confusion, you can see the heart that Jack wears on his sleeve. Ennis doesn't say much, but you really feel his misery and hurt in the movie. And you really feel Jack's loneliness and desperation and pain at being in love with a man who can't, or won't, be with him.
When Alma witnesses Ennis and Jack's reunion, your heart breaks for the woman who realizes that she is married to a man she can never completely have.
Oh, and the seats at the Kenwood Theater are quite narrow.

I'm not as eloquent as Dulcinea, nor have I yet organized my numerous thoughts into concise opinions. My experiences as they relate to this movie are probably different than most others here, so I need to make sure I present them in a manner that makes sense to everyone else, a difficult task for which I am not yet prepared.
I will offer a few random thoughts:
Go see it at the Esquire. Kenwood's chairs are ridiculously small. I was very uncomfortable. Plus Kenwood's sound system really sucked.
The movie theater was packed. Get an end seat if you plan on drinking anything, cuz you ain't getting up otherwise.
You'd think the audience would be a bunch of gay guys. Yeah, they were there, but the audience was quite diverse.
Read the book ahead of time. Dulcinea had to explain a few things to me. In my defense, I've been out three nights in a row and home only to sleep. I was quite tired and cranky, so I'm not sure I followed the movie as well as I normally would.
Heath Ledger's character Ennis mumbles and isn't much of a talker. He can be very difficult to understand.
This is a long, sad movie. I don't like sad movies. But this is a very good movie. You won't feel good when you leave the theater despite the fact the story was told exceptionally well.
