How about ... phallic shaped?
So you're saying Ennis holds onto this cylinder, as Jack holds Ennis' arm? I have seen the hand/arm thing, but never the cylinder. Well, I just finally returned my DVD to Blockbuster, but next time I rent it (or maybe even buy it) I will check that more closely. Maybe on a new TV with a zoom feature.
And I'd better get a set of headphones, too, in search of the "Oh Jack." I would love to hear that.

Barb, if by idiot American way you mean the idea that he "should" say it. in order to make some kind of unequivocal official declaration, I don't need that, either. Not at all.
I love it because it is just about the sweetest, saddest thing in the world.

Yes, I didn't know if I could really say "phallic" on line here.... But that's exactly what I wanted to say....

That's exactly what I mean. You know, that particular breed of American that prefers "Crash" over this movie because they "just liked the message better" (i.e., prefer to be beaten about the head and body with "the message" and have their little hands held (down) whilst being spoon-fed an unbelievably trite and contrived story). Those Americans. Idiots.
(The important thing is that I'm not bitter, right?)

Couldn't agree with you more there. :'(

You can post pretty much anything you want, as long as it's not disrespectful to anybody else here or a photo with frontal nudity. Not only can you say phallic, but you can say that other word that starts with the same sound. I've been asterisking it on this thread, but it's OK to spell it out if you prefer. Anyone who loves BBM as much as we do most likely isn't easily offended by that word, high-altitude or otherwise.

I hereby offer a huge reward to anyone else (in addition to Daphne and Barb) who backs me up on this. To be paid in a generous sum of smiley icons. Wolf, please crank your volume up as high as it goes and sit right in front of the screen and be prepared to notice the slightest little facial movement or sound. I can't emphasize enough its subtlety.

yer preaching to the converted m'dear! I've long heard the magic words in the shirt scene, but was curious to see if it was more apparent here on the puter. as it turned out, I didn't get there - life intervened >:(.
I'm slapping the disc on again now so I can look for "ILY" and Jack's cylinder :P 8) :P. Half hoping I won't find the latter because I have too much to do today to be rendered hot and bothered and useless!
