Mom: I liked it, but it wasn’t better than Crash. The scenery was spectacular, and Heath did a good job… but the story suffered from being very superficial. They didn’t LOVE each other; they had an affair that was a step outside of life, not life itself. They never had a chance to turn it into love, true, but it’s still just fantasy. I mean, who wouldn’t you fall in love with in those mountains?
Heather: Meatloaf.
Mom: All in the Family Meatloaf?
Heather: No, the singer.
Mom: Oh, I don’t know him. Ok, or Tiny Tim.
Heather: Or Jared the Subway guy. He’s just annoying.
Mom: Okay. Point made.
Obviously, like me, Mom could watch Heath perform with The Blue Man Group and be completely mesmerized. Heath can do no wrong. Screw Crash.
I just like that they’re on a first name basis.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
who is jared the subway guy? did i miss something?
i didn’t like crash as much as brokeback, and i didn’t see capote.
It’s so funny….it sounds like your talking about personal friends or family. You sound like me and my sister. We always talk about celebrities on a first name basis and my mom is like who…what happened??? LOL
Jared the Subway guy is the guy in the Subway sandwich commercials who lost a lot of weight eating nothing but Subway sandwiches….
I didn’t see any of the Oscar nominees or winners, and funnily enough, my life hasn’t been significantly altered as a result.
I love lists! Since this is the Who We Wouldn’t Bang Like A Screen Door in the Mountains list…I’m going to add three to the mix: Dick C, George W & Rummy. But. Meatloaf is really, sort of the cream of that crop, isn’t he? I keep thinking of his moobies in Fight Club. So distressing.
Love your blog!

I love that it’s just “Heath”. Like they’re going to lunch later or something.
True that Jarod, those sandwiches don’t fix ugly.
The only thing that ruined Brokeback was Heath’s accent. It was to reminicent of Carl from Swingblade.
mountain men…Yummy! Gotta love them for being so rugged and manly like, even if some may be gay. LOL!
I remember my brother telling me Tiny Tim was going to be at the circus or something. For some reason the thought of him terrified me. I’m pretty sure I would NOT fall in love with him.
This is so funny. I was talking about this craptastical movie yesterday and referred to “Mr. Ledger” as Heath as well. My friends were like “umm is he a close personal friend?” I said “yes, we used to get it on when he was straight.”
LOL
Anyway, there was no progression in the movie..it just seemed bland. I think both the wives did a great job.However, I think my hatred has something to do with my ruined fantasy of Jake…sigh*
Let us add Donald Trump to the list. (You know he just had a child??)
And my sister constantly talks about “Heathy-pooh”.
I could have added several folks like, Marilyn Manson and Gilbert Godfried. But I think Mom was getting tired of my antics.
HAHA…this just reminds me so much of me and my mom & what you just said, Fish, about antics. my mom’s always getting sick of my antics with being silly like this. she’ll just stop listening or walk away if I don’t stop at a reasonable point. lol
Can I add Bono from U2.
just, urgh. no. you wouldn’t would you?
I agree with Mom actually. Their first coupling wasn’t exactly tender. But maybe it’s because I’m a girl and wanted to see them communicate more if we were to believe they really couldn’t stop thinking about each other for years. Seems like they had a nice few months of sex, but where was da love?
The guy from All in the Family was “Meathead”, not Meatloaf, silly! And how could you not fall in love with HIM? What a cutie!
I don’t know dude. In my single days if you’d given me a mountain stream and a bottle of Boone’s Farm and I might have had a fling with Meatloaf. But hell, I was pretty much a big slut.
what the….
I’m not sure how someone responds to that. but none the less fish… you and your mom sound like me and mine. thanx for the good reads.
Ijust luv your blog..It never fails to put smile on my face no matter how grouchy im feeling at the moment.. and all the great posts ..haha
