I love this thread....

Hey Amanda,
There was a great thread on TOB (and of course, it's gone now) called "Ennis speaks a truth greater than he knows"...and he's doing that here.
While we all know what kind of communicatin is on Ennis' mind (and the rest of him) at that moment you describe, Jack is the one person that Ennis has in his life who he would (and has before) talk with all night, and that's another of the reasons they love each other.

i am just getting used to this board and how to use it...so apologies...i love the first glance too...jack just staring, then his head down, and the whew..you can see under his breath and under his hat...and yes, the stolen glance from Ennis..very subtle and furtive..which pretty much cements their relationship AND their personalities in about 30 seconds..i love ang

:D

Thank you for that detail. On some other thread, a long time ago, I suggested that Jake/Jack was left-handed, based on his can-opening method, and turkey carving way. On further viewing I had second thoughts and felt a fool for having metioned it (I think it's on one of the I love everything threads in the archives). Anyways, thanks for that additional observation - (You gotta admit, he's opening the can o'beans in a rather weird way!)

I wonder if maybe Jake is a lefty. I remember seeing a picture of him learning to surf, and noticing he was leading with his right foot.
FuzzyChanny:
There was a topic on Jake's IMDB board a while back about whether he's a lefty, drawing on that he writes with his left in The Good Girl. But in most other thing's it's with his right, so I think we decided he might be ambidextrous.
I'll try find the topic.
DeeDee:
I just love the head lift. When Ennis goes into the tent the first time and lays down, you see Jack slightly lift his head, probably deciding what to do.
