For Sale: Brokeback Truck
Apparently some kid is auctioning off one of the trucks used in the movie Brokeback Mountain. Here is what some guy said in the Yahoo! News article:
Murray Pomerance, a sociologist and author of several books about cinema compared the pickup truck with items such as Dorothy’s shoes from “The Wizard of Oz” and prosthetic masks from “Star Trek.”
“With certain films that are distinctive in one way or another…this desire to imbed oneself in the context of the film is huge,” he said.
“We’re actually taking the truck and marketing it. Young people want to play at being characters…they’re going to want to drive that truck…it’s the ultimate way to play the game.”
Yeah, there’s nothing I want to do more than pretend to be a gay cowboy in a truck…I need someone to pretend with me, any takers?
Here’s the link to the auction. Hurry, bidding closes on March 30!
