Brokeback bonbons

With the Oscars just around the corner, the countdown is on to see just how many of those golden statuettes will be won by the gay movie of the decade, "Brokeback Mountain." To mark the occassion we've compiled a few choice Brokeback links that we've happened upon over the last few weeks:

• Brokeback Mountain Shopping List - applies a contemporary twist to Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist's 1963 weekly grocery list.
• "Brokeback Mountain" poster parodies
  
• "Brokeback to the Future" movie trailer from Chocolate Cake City. Time travellers are secretly, frequently fond of each other.
• Two versions of Willie Nelson recent re-release of  "Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other":
  The sing along version, featuring the cutest gopher chorus.
  The music video version with footage from the movie.
• Brokeback Bunnies - a 30 second animated reenactment
• Four funny Brokeback cartoons - scroll past the naked photos to February 9.
• On the eve of Oscar night, we throw a "Brokeback" party - the editors of Nightcharm ask some of  their favorite writers, artists and Charmed Life subjects to tell them something they haven’t heard about  "Brokeback."

Absent from our list: "Bareback Mountain" and every other lame porn video that tries to piggy back (so to speak) on the popularity of this amazing film.
