That ticks off some who think America needs to know one of the men who may have saved the White House was queer. Others say it's beside the point and ask how the director was supposed to make Mark's sexuality clear. AfterElton will have more about it once the movie opens.

GOSH, I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WERE GONE
Will and Grace return Thursday night for their final stretch of episodes. And I'm going to try really, really hard to stop being so mean to the show. It is coming to an end, after all, and picking on W&G is a bit like going into a nursing home and mocking folks with Alzheimer's. Thursday's episode is the laff-a-minute funeral for Will's father. In case you've forgotten—or never cared—Will and his dad (Sidney Pollack) were not on good terms when dear old dad dropped dead. No doubt the tragedy will spur Will to make some dramatic life-changing choices. For those who want to know, tons of details about how the show ends are floating around on the internet, but since I don't care enough to look, I can't spill the beans. Use your own mouse, dammit.

IF THE WORDS "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN" DON'T MAKE YOU BREAK OUT IN HIVES
DVD-Verdict has what must be the most thorough review of Brokeback Mountain out there. The site's gimmick is that a “judge” reviews the “evidence” about the movie, then renders a verdict. There is a “Jury Room” where you can go and debate the judge's verdict. Oh, and the judge's verdict on Brokeback was it is “guilty” of being the “bravest movie of 2005”. Yeah, I know—it's a bit corny. And FYI, over on Amazon.com Brokeback has slipped to number two on the DVD chart.

If you already got your copy and are looking for something else to kick back with, Breakfast on Pluto came out this week. And Pierce Brosnan's tale about a bisexual hit-man who really is sweet, The Matador, is definitely worth checking out if you missed it in the theater. And given its box office, I know you did.

THOSE BRITS DO TRASH SO DARN WELL!
Last Sunday night was the finale of Footballers' Wives' third season and, naturally, there had to be cliffhangers. It turned out both Tanya and Amber—oh, wait, you lot couldn't care less about that. You want to hear about Noah, right? Well, after his ignoble outing last week, it looked like he'd be benched, though not sacked by his homophobic coach. Of course, he wound up playing in the big game, and playing more than well enough to shut the other players up. After the game, however, poor Noah learned his new boyfriend was really a hooker—with a heart of gold, of course. Royally pissed, Noah took off only to later get gay-bashed. The last we see of him is as he lay gasping on the ground. We'll let you know when season four is set to hit the air. In the meantime, check back next week for our interview with Marcel McCalla who plays Noah.

And if you just can't live without some British trash, BBC is running another soap called Mile High about the airline biz. It's a candy-colored piece of fluff that nonetheless features a number of gay characters. Even better, they're incorporated into the show with no big fuss. Say, if Noah has to quit playing footy, he'd fit in fine with this bunch. Will is the gay guy and Marco plays the straight boy he lusts after—okay, we could do without that storyline.

I just caught an episode featuring a gay couple as two of the passengers and no big deal was made out of the fact they were gay. On the other hand, the two guys did have a wee little dog they fussed over like it was a baby. And then there is the creepy old guy who made a pass at the hunky young guy, but it's a soap and everybody behaves badly! Mile High airs Sundays on BBC America at 11 pm.
