Resolved: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford may well be the Last Great Homoerotic Western. (If you'd asked me, I would probably have guessed that Brokeback Mountain had pretty much broken that genre.)

OTOH, maybe it's not really a western? It's like The Talented Mr. Ripley had a love-child with Deadwood on a big ol' bed of Greek idealized male love.

Well, damn. I wanted to see this movie before, but now? TOP OF MY LIST.
