Pretty much any time a book is adapted into a movie, the book was better ... but there are a few notable exceptions, and one of them is Brokeback Mountain. And that's according to Annie Proulx, who wrote the book! In this week's bonus video, we're looking at one change to the story that she vigorously opposed ... until she saw it on the screen and realized that Ang Lee's changes to her story made them movie better.
Plus! More Brokeback Mountain jokes, including a bunch that Patrons helped me track down. And a little sneak peek at my upcoming videos, featuring Natasha Lyonne!
Here are some of the clips referenced in this week's bonus video:
