Ang Lee, Meet Southpark

When I heard that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" director Ang Lee won the Golden Lion at this year's Venice Film Festival, I remembered fondly a Southpark episode I saw years ago. Lee's new movie, entitled "Brokeback Mountain", is about gay cowboys in Wyoming. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, and makes Matt Stone and Trey Parker of Southpark fame sound oddly prophetic when they penned these lines for an episode entitled "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls" in 1998 (parodying the Sundance Festival in Park City, Utah):

Mr. Garrison:The first annual South Park film festival begins today.
Wendy: Wow, cool.
Kyle: They're not gonna show that stupid --- Godzilla movie again are they?
Mr. Garrison: No, no Kyle these are independent films.
Stan: Oh like Independence Day, that sucked --- too.
Cartman: No dude, independent films are those black and white hippie movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding.
