Making Something Gay Even Gayer

Brokeback Mountain is being turned into an opera!

The New York City Opera commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose an opera based on the short story that became the hit film.

The opera is scheduled to premiere in the spring of 2013.

Gay cowboys don't sing country songs. They sing opera!

      Why can't they leave it alone? I don't even see how they could make something like that an opera.

      Wow. How bizarre. Why would anyone do that? The novel was great, the movie was all right… but an opera? Settle down.

      Music theater is doing exactly what movies are doing. Just rehashing things. At least he'd have to write original music.

      All the gay men LOVE Gyllenhaal. Like Kathy Griffin says, "He's replaced Tom Cruise." Reese seems happier with Jake than she ever was with Ryan.

      Jake Gyllenhaal can't possibly get any gayer.

      Dude, Jake looks just like Casey Blake from the Cleveland Indians with his beard. Seriously google him.

    25. J Rozy says – reply to this

      yo, if you let the beard stay, it keeps the pores wanting to be bigger and your face won't be as nice. Shaving is a balance of sometimes trimming with an electric trimmer (not a shaver) for a couple times and then getting a clean shave, never more than 4 cycles of growth. Always apply cold distilled water after a warm shower. Use a mild white soap with no dyes to shave, never use those marketed shaving creams or gels. don't use antibacterial soap guys, it has a chemical that mimics testosterone and that is never good. I am a cancer researcher at Cleveland St and I work on Prostate Cancer Cells/Androgen Receptors/MicroRNA-208. My advice is based on personal experience though.

      Re: gaygay – In your dreams he is, just not in real life. I'm not really sure what this story has to do with Jake. But, whatever. I hope Reese and Jake get married soon. Imagine how cute those babies would be.

      Child what is the creative world comming to? Now fine arts such as Opera is doing what today's music does best..sampling/providing their own rendition and passing as legitimate masterpiece. Laaawwd Have Mercy.

      Re: shi – Jake isn't gay. Only a small number of his gay fans think he is. It's called wishful thinking. Jake is going out with Reese Witherspoon, they've been together for one and a half years. Before that he went out with Kirsten Dunst for three years. Before that he went out with that girl who's a singer, I forget her name. Perez knows this. He's actually been very supportive of Jake and Reese, seeing that he was the one who broke the story originally. He's just being an asshole here. It's his nature.

      I love that Brokeback Mountain will be done as an opera. I loved the book. I loved the movie. Heath Ledger's performance was perfect, and heartbreaking.
      PLEASE, in his memory, make the opera great.
      And Jake, I love you too. What an actor you are. I love that you have done many indie movies - in the name of art, not just for big bucks. Don't care if you are gay, straight, or otherwise. Love you regardless.

      Terrible, awful idea. The movie was a beautiful realization of the story. An musical will be an absurdity and a farce. Would you want to see Casablanca made into a musical? I sure as hell would not.
