'Brokeback Mountain' - A Review (Unmarked Spoilers)

Unfortunately the trend isn't looking good for a huge success when it goes wide.

In it's wider limited relesae, the per screen average is down almost 75% after a week into the very modest $12,000 range (over the weekend) so apparently it wasn't the event in the new cities that it was in the first weekend cities (LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, I think).

I'm still torn. I really want to see it because of Ang Lee (I pretent that Hulk didn't happen) but I really don't want to see it because of Jake Gyllenhaal and I can't stand him (perhaps if they had replaced him with his sister, but then the story wouldn't quite be the same) and his dopey hangdog expressions.
