The mysterious "I love you" and other nearly indiscernible moments
Front-Ranger:
"I can't stand this anymore" AND "Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it." Neither were in the story, and it seems like the theme of standing was added at the scriptwriting or the filiming stage.

Yes, you can hear the "it's cold" ... "close it up" when they are in that bad rain storm .... But I like your idea ... TS3! I know it happened ... just off screen, dang it! ::)
Front-Ranger:
I thought there was a TS3. It was short...Jack and Ennis sleeping with Ennis's arm around Jack. They were facing left screen.
Also, I heard the "I love you" and I also saw Heath's lips move, though they were half-buried in the fabric of the shirts. Major moment, that one. :P

That's one of those things where there will never be concensus. I never heard it ... I have blasted the volume and have heard nothing other than his inhale and exhale. IMO, it just doesn't fit into Ennis' character to say that. The only time he says the word "love" is when he asks Alma, Jr. if "this Kurt fella ... he loves you?" Just my thought .....

I think so, too. There are three. But tell you what, personally I could use a TS4, TS5, TS6, TS7, TS8 ...

Welcome to the club, F-R! I hope you're using :P in a nice way, not a "yuck" way (I have to ask, given the controversy over this moment and the ambiguity of that smiley -- I've seen it used to convey "yuck" and "drool," which are pretty much opposites).
Diane, I think the very fact that it doesn't fit Ennis' character is what makes it so incredibly touching. But even for those who've seen it, it's sooooo subtle that it really doesn't take anything away from Ennis' use of the word in his question to Alma Jr.
