Was Cassie in the Brokeback Mountain movie homophobic?

Artiste, what Ennis says to Jack is, "(I've) been putting the blocks to a good-lookin' little gal over in Riverton." I don't know how you get "Cassie was forcing herself on to him" out of that. If anything, as we've already discussed on this thread, the phrase "putting the blocks to" implies aggression in the other direction.
If you've got some other line in mind, please quote it specifically. I've seen the movie 20 times and read the story about 10, and I can't think of any dialogue remotely like what you describe.

Around here, when you say you've seen the movie 20 times, people say, "What -- didn't you like it?"
:laugh:

We're still in in synch reagarding the number of our viewings of the movie (same is true for the SS).

Artiste:
Thanks whysoserious, thanks Penthesilea, thanks oilfieldtrash !!!
Cassie is indeed fascinating... isn't she ??
Much can be said or thought about her yet, may I say.
WE think that her role is simple... but it's more than that!! May I suggest...
Au revoir,
hugs!
