http://www.dazereader.com/24000922.htm A friend and I were sitting around brainstorming porno knockoff titles for recent movies, and both came up with "Bareback Mounting" for Brokeback Mountain. Turns out that Michael Musto beat us to the (rather obvious) joke.

The most perfect faygeleh couple of all sleeps with the sheep in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, a/k/a Bareback Mounting, a/k/a Crouching Cowboy Hidden Penis (Mandarin title: Wo Hu Hang Long), a/k/a Eat Drink Man Man, a/k/a . . . all right, I'll stop. Anyway, the film has a couple of hot Wyoming ranch hands—one wears black, the other doesn't—going through all the same mating rituals modern New York gays do. They fuck first, then kiss later (though most of the kissing in the movie looks more like professional head-butting). They pretend to go fishing to throw off the spouses, but actually have no interest in fish whatsoever. And though they think about moving in together, one has a meltdown freaking about the repercussions of intimacy. (They're not lesbians, after all.) These two could be regulars at Rawhide!

Musto's riffs on King Kong and Memoirs of a Geisha are pretty funny too. He's a funny guy.

In a ruling that changes the way Canadian courts determine what poses a threat to the population, the top court threw out the conviction of a Montreal man who ran a club where members could have group sex in a private room behind locked doors.

"Consensual conduct behind code-locked doors can hardly be supposed to jeopardize a society as vigorous and tolerant as Canadian society," said the opinion of the seven-to-two majority, written by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin.

A vigorous society indeed.
