Someone's in the cocoon.

Says Mickey Kaus, here and here, talking about Frank Rich's opinion on how Middle America will respond to "Brokeback Mountain." (And thanks to Mickey for appreciating my sarcasm!)

UPDATE: Three Years of Hell has some excellent, and nicely bloggish, comments about the movie -- and he's actually seen it. He makes it sound -- gasp! -- boring. That's the worst condemnation, really -- in my book anyway. That reminds me: Chris saw "Syriana" and said it was one of the most boring movies he's ever seen.

IN THE COMMENTS: Some talk about who this movie is being marketed to. I give my answer -- and it's not gay men.
