It’s been ten years since “Brokeback Mountain” was released, earning more than $178 million at the box office and winning three Oscars, four Golden Globes and a slew of other awards.
The film has received renewed attention recently, first with Annie Proulx, who authored the original story on which the film was based, saying she wished she’d never written it, followed by actor Jake Gyllenhaal talking about how the film helped pave the way for marriage equality.
Now, two senior citizen men from the group Tuesdays With Matthew have remade the film’s classic “I can’t quit you” scene.
Tuesdays With Matthew is a Los Angeles-based volunteer program for senior citizens in which old folks get together to recreate scenes from famous movies just for fun.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“The goal of Tuesdays is to prove that old is the new young and sometimes the last act is the best,” founder Matthew Hoffman told The Huffington Post.

Honestly! We get it, it’s the film’s anniversary. This dead horse hasn’t just been beaten, it’s been pulverized, rendered into glue, bottled and shipped to Walmart. Find a new film to wring the life out of, already!

Silly and pointless. Some people think the movie is about gay men but it’s about bisexual men.
But how is this news? ISIS is killing gay and bisexual men, and wants us all dead yet queerty writes nothing about this…

This clip is not funny and has no redeeming social value. Why bother with amateurish trash like this.

@alphacentauri: It’s sad that some bloggers on here just want to have a negative attitude and not just you. “But how is this news? ISIS is killing gay and bisexual men, and wants us all dead yet queerty writes nothing about this…” CMT* Queerty is NOT a local/cable NEWS site! If you want to get the latest “news” go back to the sights that “portray” to being “news worthy” [Faux]. Queerty is for entertainment and happenings in the LGBT world. Why spew your verbal diarrhea on a forum >some< of us appreciate viewing? Please keep your opinions to yourself and not troll/dirty OUR experience with viewing what we may think is interesting…

@Dad4Abs: Why are YOU bothering to visit this website?

@twigg: GREAT response! How can anyone defile someone who is bringing life to older people is beyond me. HOPEFULLY, we will all be in a position when we are older (AND wiser, hint~hint)and have some of the younger gens helping us live a better life in our golden years.

@Glücklich: Quite the impressive portfolio on your site. Too bad you cannot utilize it in helping older folks live out their lives. 36 married to a person in their 40’s? I’m happy for you. I just wish you could find the empathy to be happy for others.
