mostly about shirts

The other day someone told me about a friend of theirs who is an older man, devoutly Christian and therefore frustratedly and conflictedly unable to do anything positive about the fact that he's also gay. Apparently he has seen Brokeback Mountain twenty-seven times since it opened on circuit here. He goes to see it every afternoon, and cries a lot.
This is a level of investment in a film that I personally only associate with the madder, more geeky fringes of Star Wars and LotR fandom. In this very different context, it's probably the saddest thing I've heard in ages.
In other shirt news, I have finally worked out who the much-drooled-over Sawyer is in Lost. I'm sorry, ladies, I don't get it. No amount of pretty-boy de-shirtage is ever going to make him into anything other than a total dickhead.

Also, I'm not a huge Sawyer fan (his looks don't particularly do it for me), but I am a huge fan of men taking their shirts off. Dickheads or not. Hey, his character is made up, but the torso is real. *happy sigh*
