By Popular Demand (and a Plea) ...

"I'm a little teapot ..."

Apparently some of y'all are just a wee bit obsessed with this whole "Brokeback Mountain" thing.

The requests have been pouring in for more, more, more of anything that is even remotely Brokeback-related.

On Friday we posted highlights of Oprah's interview with the cast.  But you wanted the whole thing, and here it is:

[Watch video – 24:52, WMV format, low bandwidth]

The picture accompanying this post, of course, comes not from that interview, but from Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards.  As I mentioned yesterday, I kind of lost interest in pulling any SAG Awards clips when I found out that "Brokeback" had been shut out.

Ah, but some of you were interested even in the brief glimpse we got of Jake and Heath presenting BBM's nomination for "Outstanding Movie Cast."  You say jump, MalcoVision asks, "How high?"

But what was it with those two?  Were they nervous?  Hopped up on something?  I thought Heath especially was inappropriately giddy, even giggling through Jake's scripted comments about "tragedy."  And with that bizarre pose he had struck, I expected him to show us his, uh, "spout."

PLEASE READ THIS:

You probably wouldn't notice this if I didn't tell you, but the discerning eye will discover that the largest of the four clips linked above is hosted on a different server than the others.  That is because, as I have been warning for a while now, I have completely tapped out MalcoVision's ISP.  There should be enough bandwidth for the clips that are already there, but I have exhausted our storage space and had to scramble to find another alternative.

That, of course, meant another substantial investment in this site.

I can't think of another blog (at least one that is run part-time, and as a hobby) that requires the kind of investment in hardware, software and server space that The Malcontent has made.  We do it because we enjoy it, and because we want to provide a sort of virtual "hearth" for the gay community and our allies.

It is still my intent never to put a "tip jar" on this site.  But I do want The Malcontent to continue as a worthwhile home to the advertisers who help defray some of our costs.

So PLEASE, if you enjoy this site at all, and especially if you are a regular reader, make a mental note to click on our advertisers' ads on a regular basis.  If you keep them happy, they'll keep us happy, and the bandwidth spigots will continue to flow.

And while I have your attention, why not show them some love right now?:

The New School Bachelor's Program: "Design your own path of study, choosing from a wide range of courses, and building on all the important things you've achieved so far. "

David Rich Fitness Naked.com: "Imagine having two of the hottest DNA and Playgirl cover models teach you their secrets to developing a body that looks great naked."

Jeff Cook for Congress: "Put your voice in Congress."  And consider sending a little scratch his way too.

Fat Old Jewish Guy Who Lives In The Projects: "He's entertaining and angering at times too. 200+ visitors a day can't be wrong, right?"

And last, but most certainly not least, Gay.com: "Find a Valentine's date and SAVE over 50% when you subscribe to Gay.com Premium Personals. Meet hot guys online. Millions of active members."

This concludes the Public Service Announcement.

I love all the Brokeback news.....and now Jake has an Oscar nomination!!!!!

Made in Brazil is in the same boat with typepad. Luckily I'm technologically challenged or I'd be eyeing the lifeboats with you both!

[Malcontent]

Nah, it isn't Typepad. Not that they haven't always sucked, but I've been hosting videos outside of Typepad since the beginning. But I now have an extra 60GB of storage and 1.6TB of monthly bandwidth to throw around.

That silly arm akimbo pose of Heath's was what? an atempt to further distance himself from being gay. This is getting boring. We got it, we got. You're not gay, but you played on in a movie...

[Craig Ranapia]

Well, I have a sneaking suspicion Jake will win but Heath will miss out because it's Philip Seymour Hoffman's turn. (BTW, has anyone seen 'Capote'? Thoughts?) Then again, trying to get inside the minds of the voting membership of AMPAS is a one way ticket to Crazyville.

Still, I'd bet cash money those cute gay penguins are a lock for the best documentary feature. And in the fine tradition of confusing dressing way down with acting, Felicity Huffmann has a good chance of taking best actress. (And that's intended as a bitch at the Academy, not the highly talented Huffmann.)

Hope All Is Positive! America Needs A Wake-Up Call on Same Sex Issues. Hooray For Alberta, Canada's 9th Province to be the backdrop for 'Brokeback Mountain'.

All the Best in The Academy Awards to ALL CONTENDERS!

Thank YOU Good Night . . . . .

[Dave Cullen]

I think Heath was just being Heath. He's kind of a goofy, nervous guy. That's a big part of his charm.

j'aime beaucoup ton site mais le problème j'ai vraiment du mal a tou comprendre..quand je traduis en francais! j'aime beaucoup brokeback mountain..c'est le plus beau film que j'ai vue de ma vie...et c 'est vraiment un chef d'oeuvre.

[gustavo]

He disfrutado mucho de la entrevista. Eso sí, Gyllenhaal me parece un patosillo demasiado americano: Me quedo con Heath, será porque es australiano y tiene un carácter más serio.

[rga_bs]

Me gusto mucho la entrevista, pero quisiera saber si alguien la puede subtitular ya que no escucho bien y no entiendo a algunas palabras en ingles.

like much the interview, but she wanted to know if somebody can subtitle it since I do not listen well and I do not understand to some words in English.

PLEASE HOPE YOURS ANSWERE PRONTO!
