Some unsolicited advice.

Ang? Buddy? When you set out to make a controversial movie about a couple of gay cowboys, and you cast a couple of matinee bishonen like Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as the two romantic leads, well, you raise certain expectations in certain quarters. And then when you announce maybe you’re going to back off from any actual sex scenes, preferring a more metaphorical approach, because “two men herding sheep [i]s far more sexual than two men having sex on screen,” well, you pretty much fuck those expectations over, let me tell you. —People are going to think you’re a wimp, and a sissy, and a big ol’ fraidy-cat. You really want to take that hit after the Hulk?

Let ’em make with the man-love, Ang. Won’t hurt you a bit, and trust me: the ladies will love you for it.

    Um, one of the tenants nearly burned the house down to save a few quarters today (don't ask) so I'm too tired to google, but I believe if you check Google News there was a story a few days ago about a shot of Heath Ledger's penis being cut out of the movie because it was determined to be "too distracting to the audience"

    That's a different movie, and it's Colin Farrell, but the underlying point is very much the same.
