Which Reminds Me: Let's Play Six Degrees of Separation

(I could have said "sex degrees" but that's too obvious. And maybe too sad.)

Speaking of nude Peter Sarsgaard, last time I checked he was embroiled with the strangely lovely (and increasingly gaunt?) Maggie Gyllenhaal. Maggie, however, showed up to the Oscars with her gorgeous brother Jake. I wonder where Peter was, but that could be another kettle of fish.
So, let's now link sweet Jake Gyllenhaal to Aussie Heath Ledger, toss in some gorgeous man-to-man loving and you end up with the film Brokeback Mountain . Directed by Ang Lee and coming out sometime in 2005, there's been lots of buzz about this movie, though no expected nudity. There was a nude scene (skinny-dipping?) that I've heard has been cut from the film, though pics of Heath in the buff are floating about on the Internet (finders keepers!!). The movie is apparently a heart-breaking love story about two cowboys who meet in Wyoming in 1963. Rumor has it that Heath almost broke Jake's nose during a particularly fierce on-screen kiss... I've got my ticket money put aside already.
