You know how people have been recreating their favourite movie scenes with Lego? Well, my daughter gave me a great idea this week. Her favourite cuddly toys at the moment are these guys - Bumba:
and Bumbalu:
They are clowns (I know - you would never have guessed) and they have their own TV show. It's pretty good, if you're a one year old. Every time the yellow dude walks a tightrope, the commenter goes "Bumba does dangerous tricks. He is a very cool clown," but I reckon that's quite funny, so Bumba and me we're cool.
Part of this show goes "Bumba and Bumbalu are the greatest friends" and then they cuddle. Marie has been recreating this scene, making them cuddle and kiss. In this, my very own Week of Gay Porn, that obviously made me pick these two cool and loving guys for my very own remake of Brokeback Mountain!
I have decided to cast Bumba in the role of Ennis and Bumbalu in the role of Jack. Here they are, in the scene where Ennis and Jack ride up the mountain together:
Next up, the scene in which Ennis is surprised by a bear next to the river. I have cast Bumba's friend Nanadu in the supporting role of the bear.
Conveniently enough, Bumba and Bumbalu are circus clowns, so they have their own tent! Here they are, replaying a dinner scene around the fire. If Bumbalu has an uncomfortable smirk on his face, that's because he's being held upright by a gorilla in his butt.
And, finally, that scene in the tent:
I hope you have all enjoyed my little reenactment of Brokeback Mountain. I think we should give a big round of applause to Bumba and Bumbalu for their efforts, and also to my children who had a bad case of "I want to play with what you're playing with" but managed to keep their hands off.

You know, I really should see that movie... particularly now I've seen the trailer.
ReplyDelete@MaryP - You really should. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit worried about this post, because it's my favourite movie of all time and I hope no one takes it the wrong way. I was very upset when Heath Ledger died, and I think it only made me love the movie more. I hope no one thinks I'm poking fun at the actors or the movie.
Ha, love it! Both the film (swoon at Jake Gyllenhaal) and your tribute to it.
ReplyDeleteI need to see that film again. Both of them make me go humanahumanahumana. You made me smile. x
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME AND I LOVED IT!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen Brokeback Mountain - and now I don't have to. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour creations are hysterical. I keep laughing every time I see the first pict of them on their horses.
ReplyDeleteGive us a spoiler alert next time, would ya?
ReplyDeleteOh, lord love a duck. The post I read before yours made me cry, this one made me laugh hysterically. LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteMan, I really need to watch that movie....
ReplyDeleteI love that movie - and I like your piss take.
ReplyDeleteActually, I prefer your version.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's nice to know that Bumba is cool with Bumbalu having a gorilla in his butt(a sentence I have never typed before, believe me).
BWAHAHAHAHA That was amazing! I had almost forgotten what it was about, but nope now I remember. AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for Brokeback Mountain 2.
ReplyDeleteStarring Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie.
OMG, this is hilarious. Loved it! hahaha
ReplyDeleteGawd that is sooo funny. I haven't seen the movie and now I won't need to! Glad I popped by and caught up :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Love the appearance of the bear....it did make me laugh no end.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing I have EVER SEEN!!! I'm serious! my husband just had to come in from the other room to check I was ok cause I just nearly fell off my chair laughing.
ReplyDeleteI love you... you know that right?!
Brilliant!! Now you only need a disclaimer before people can enter your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tinman, I enjoyed that more than the real movie.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Funniest thing I've seens in ages. Thanks for cheering up a dreary Thursday morning!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Fortunately, I've seen Brokeback already, so I wasn't spoiled!
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteA spoiler? Come on people, the re-enactment only goes to about half way of the film! (So looking forward to part II)
Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNot least the fact that they're called Bumba and Bumbaloo.
Which one would you be? Heh heh heh.
totally ill! Have you ever seen My Beautiful Laundrette? I think it blazed the trail for Brokeback way back in 1984 (ish). Imagine seeing a young hot Daniel Day-Lewis getting it on with his Pakistani boyfriend while clothes rumble in the driers.
ReplyDeleteI was soooo amazed and decided DDL had to be the best actor on earth for making it be such a touching and believable scene.
@geeksinrome - I LOVED My Beautiful Laundrette! It was amazing. Another one of my favourite movies.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! I'd seen one years ago, done with an enviable lego collection, but yours is sweeter, and sicker with the kids clowns! Thanks for sharing and making me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI love Brokeback Mountain, rushed out to see the local premier. I cried buckets and fell in love with both actors even more. Sigh.
Have you seen Jarhead? Nice look at Jake's manly physique, if you can handle Mendes' gritty look at modern war.
Happy lustylegoing, must go fing DDL's movie...
Love it! I also need to see that movie.
ReplyDelete*applause*
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, genius performance B&B!
Hilarious!
