TOTW 02/08: Was Lureen pregnant when she met Jack?

<< < (16/30) > >>

Artiste:
Thanks very much and dearly all of you ami(e)!!

Katie, may I quote: If Laureen had not been as up front and agressively cheeky with Jack, then they probably would not have even got together
.....

Katie and to all, may I say that I agree and applaud Lureen for that!! Even if she was straight, lesbian, bi-, or other orientation, or a combination!! I think her pursuit and purpose combines that she eyed Jack and grabbed him, for many wondrous reasons, and not just for colourful sex, although that was nice for both (Jack and her!! (And for us too!! I am grateful!!) I still think that she is lesbian or bi-, and did know that then (as I have tried to prove), or felt it, or discovered it living with Jack!!

Thank goodness Lureen was indeed like you say ...up front and agressively cheeky with Jack, then they probably would not have even got together!! I enjoy seeing Jack and her!! I think that see saved and still saves Jack's life!! - and that says much, and much to be said yet too!!

To me, no offence to anyone and sorry if I did offend any person, Lureen was pregnant before she met Jack: about or so one month pregnant!! No harm done for her to be in, I say! So, she knew that or not!! ??
....

Will say more later, and thanks for your very interesting  comment Katie, awaiting your comments and from others too,

hugs!

Answer to question: No.

Was she pregnant when she married Jack? Possibly ( it is clearly emphasized, several times, in the movie, that Lureen's father hates Jack. So you can't help wondering, occasionally, why he allowed her to marry him....but she may have done it against his will, or on the sneak).

Anyway, he's going on 44 now...at least my Bobby is. This is installed over their front door:

brokebackjack:
oh, no way. Lureen was a spontaneous willful girl. She wanted jack and got more then she bargained for.

What Lureen wanted, Lureen got.

But she was also smitten with Jack and IMHO truly loved him. As for Jack he tried, but ended up being 'buddies'. Hence her increasing bittrness, the mask she assumed towards the world, the mask which Anne Hathaway so brilliantly allowed to slip during her filmed scene with the telephone call....

Fran:
Someone apparently miscalculated when deciding the date of the rodeo, the postmark on the "coming thru" postcard, and/or Jack's "eight months old" comment.  But since I want BBM to be "perfect," I'm going to blame the reunion kiss and offer this explanation:

After that powerful kiss, it's a wonder that Jack could even remember he had a wife and a son.  He did manage to get his wife's name right, so I can forgive him for misspeaking and getting his son's age wrong.  Remember, he was nervous around Alma and just babbling.  Maybe he was thinking of the Motel 8 he passed on the way into town.  :)
