Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 3, 2006 - 6:43am.
New York - The New York Times recently reported on the proliferation of online video "mashups" that parody the Oscar-nominated film "Brokeback Mountain," appearing on video-sharing sites including YouTube.com, GorillaMask.net and DailySixer.com. Produced by amateurs or comedy troupes and design shops, the mashups pair the music, themes and slow-motion cuts from the trailer for "Brokeback Mountain" with clips from other films, including "Back to the Future," "The Empire Strikes Back," "Heat," "The Lord of the Rings," "Titanic," "Fight Club" and "Point Break." The combinations are then posted on the video-sharing sites with titles like "Brokeback to the Future," "The Empire Brokes Back" and "Point Brokeback."
