I'm trying not to be spoiled for Brokeback Mountain, but I've been glancing through your posts and I just read an article in the NY Times about real-life gay cowboys in which they mentioned that there are two brutal murders in the films. Now, I really, really want to see it - but I have a very hard time with depictions of realistic violence in movies. My question is - how graphic and/or upsetting are these scenes?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maysa, I have a hard time with death in general (just ask anyone who saw Serenity with me) and with blood, and I was okay. the scenes were upsetting, and there was some blood, but it was only shown very briefly rather than graphically. The first one was described in some detail though, so that might be an issue. It wasn't for me, but I can see it being so for others.

Thanks, Perkins. I think I could handle that.

I think so. The scenes were upsetting, especially the second one, but imuch more emotionally so than visually.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I was about to post the exact same thing, Perkin. You don't see much, but you definitely feel the impact.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Mrs. Henderson Presents with Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. Very disarming and a terrific script--you think you know all about the characters from the beginning but layers are revealed throughout. It's funny and stylish and a perfect Christmas movie--for adults (it's about a burleque-type theatre in Wartime London, so lots of gorgeous naked women throughout).
