"X" is X-Men

From a customer review of Hulk  at Barnes & Noble:

"Leave it to Ang Lee to take on another genre and nail it.  I watched this twice the first night I rented it and bought it a week later.  It loses nothing with multiple viewings.  Like X-Men, director Lee made outstanding casting choices which raises this above standard super-hero fare and turns it into a brilliant, albeit dark, character study."

"A" is archetypal

Jack and Ennis personified the archetypal roles familiar to fans of Westerns for many years--but with a twist.

"B" is beeline

Two or three times a year, Jack became all abuzz, and made a beeline for his honey, for purposes of cross-pollination.

"C" is catch

When Jack and Ennis were on their "fishing trips", they were each other's daily catch.

"D" is distraction

While peeling potatoes, Jack did his best to ignore the distraction presented by Ennis.

"E" is emblematic

The dozy embrace was emblematic of Jack and Ennis's time together:  sweet, but short.

"F" is finagle

Both Jack and Ennis had to finagle things around so they could be with each other on their "fishing trips."
