If you’re very lucky, you get two or three chances at "love of your life love. Many people get just one chance. Some people get no chances.

Rex Wockner, reviewing Brokeback Mountain

Yah. No…one reason I’ll likely not be going to see Brokeback Mountain is I’m not hugely interested in watching a film about a guy who lets it all slip away, however painfully trapped in his culture’s homophobia he might have been. I would ache to see Ennis’ heartbreak at the end, and I don’t need to be paying money for that ache. And at least I took my chances.
