TOTW 06/07: Should/could there be a sequel?

I thought the same. Well not exactly the same, since I wouldn't want a sequel at all. But if there ever were one, Junior's wedding is the thing I would want to see.

Absolutely right. I would even say there's no way it would strike twice. I think it has been a very, very lucky coincidence that so many talented people not only worked on it, but delivered top work (even talented people deliver bad work sometimes, but not on BBM).

It would feature a lonely middle aged balding man driving in a Geo Metro 150 miles to the nearest theater showing Brokeback Mountain.
It would have two widows, both mothers of gay men, one who has died of Aids and one who has taken his life.
It would have a pimple faced 17 year old and his fag hag girlfriends who would all cry together.
It would have a straight couple married for 33 years sitting in the back in stoned silence.
There would be black folks and white folks and every shade in between, all sitting in the dark, all emerging into a world that will never be the same......
(And then they meet on line and have wonderful adventures together.)

[Truman that is deep and so true. I know which one I am.

I sure didn't see any ashes anywhere or anything that proved Jack was dead. All I heard were Lureen's explanation and Mr. Twist's thoughts. That's not enough to prove it to me. Mrs. Twist......now she knows the real answer ;D

I totally agree! Jack never died, Lureen lies because she was angry and kind of ashamed that Jack eventually left her. He just wanted to vanish because 'he didn't know how to quit' Ennis and that's what they both really needed. But after some years, he comes back to meet Ennis again, and Ennis, who's been crying his lost for years...will never let Jack go again :)
Artiste:
