Made fun of him, right to his face, and the president didn't even realize it.

A president that can't think on his feet, wonderful.

Did you notice how he got extra macho in tone and sitting swagger?

Hmm, methinks the president is in the closet.

He looked like he was trying to come up with a smart-ass reply, but failed. Why he didn't just smile and say "Haven't seen it," and go to the next question, I don't know.

It appears to me that he did, in fact, just smile and say "Haven't seen it"

What did I miss?

Yeah, I think Tim's got it. Da Prez was winding up for hilarity and slipped on his own banana peel (how's that for a mixed metaphor?)

Proulx: I think this country is hungry for this story.

AP: Why?

Proulx: Because it's a love story and there's hardly much love around these days. I think people are sick of divisiveness, hate-mongering, disasters, war, loss and need and want a reminder that sometimes love comes along that is strong and permanent, and that it can happen to anyone.

AP: Do you think straight men will watch this movie?

Proulx: They are watching this movie. Of course, why wouldn't they watch it? Straight men fall in love. Not necessarily with each other or with a gay man. My son-in-law, who prides himself on being a Bud-drinking, NRA-member redneck, liked the movie so much he went to it twice. Straight men are seeing it and they're not having any problem with it. The only people who would have problems with it are people who are very insecure about themselves and their own sexuality and who would be putting up a defense, and that's usually young men who haven't figured things out yet. Jack and Ennis would probably have trouble with this movie.

I liked Brokeback Mountain quite a bit.

Yeah, it's supposed to be good... I'll put it in my 'academy awards meaningful movies I really need to get around to' pile...
