Brokeback Hockey Rink
Boston connection: I looked up the book on amazon.com and found that (orig book) takes place in Cambridge (...why not
Provincetown...?) If they had kept to the orig. script
they could have maybe cast David Scondras and Barney
Frank?
>>Publisher's Weekly: Two gay men, one a New Age chiropractor, the other an editor at an ultra-hip Italian art magazine, live happily together in Cambridge, not too far from Harvard...When Scot arrives at their home, these two generous, good-hearted men discover that they have a prepubescent Quentin Crisp on their hands...This heartwarming tale nobly defines and describes a potent, realistic new configuration of contemporary American family
(though had they case Scondras in the film they may have been prevented; I'm not sure how his court case came out but I
don't think he'd be allowed to hang around with juveniles?
from sweetness & light--for those unfamiliar with Scondras:
"Lawrence Police arrested Scondras at about 1:15 a.m. (Oct '06). Investigators said a sergeant pretending to be a 15-year-old boy had several sexually explicit email exchanges with Scondras."
