The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

Two of the more noticeable goofs on the part of the editing department are Alma Jr.'s visible microphone wire (which is seen when her pajama top rides up) and the display of mixed nuts which miraculously restocks itself after several jars were broken by Alma Jr.

One particularly goofy goof:  When Ennis tells Alma that he and Jack are going fishing, he hands Alma Jr. to her. While in her mother's arms, Junior's pajama top hikes up and you can see her microphone cord.

The Budweiser sign installed on the Black and Blue Eagle Bar has the logo in a modern italicized font, not the "straight" font used in the seventies.

Trivia: According to his interview in Premiere Magazine, Mark Wahlberg stated that at one point he and Joaquin Phoenix were being considered for the two lead roles. Although he considered it due to his brother-like relationship with Phoenix, the script was ultimately too sexually graphic for him.

Anachronism:  In the scene where Ennis lounges on the sofa, watching an episode of Kojak on TV,  Alma says, "It's Saturday night.  We could still smarten up, head over to the church social."  Kojak didn't air on Saturday nights until its fifth season (1977-78), and this scene took place prior to the del Mar divorce on November 6, 1975.

Thanks, IMDb.

Marky Mark Wahlberg as Jack? Or Ennis?  OH, NO, I DON'T THINK SO!  The script was ultimately too deep for you.  Keep your Calvins on and SPARE US your homophobia.

Sorry about the rant.
And now back to our regularly scheduled round.

There were 75 visual effects shots created for the film by the Canadian house Buzz Image Group. Of these, 15 were of CGI sheep. The film called for about 2,500 sheep, but only 700 were on-set, necessitating the additional woolly creations. Also created for the film were sky replacements, set additions, erasures and the hail in the hailstorm.

I hear you.

So many things have to be taken into account when a film crew organizes a shoot that it is amazing for the correct props to be in the scene, let alone in the right hand or on the left side as in a previous take that might have been filmed on the last sunny day.

Touché !

Trivia from IMDB: Writer, Annie Proulx sent both Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger an original, autographed copy of her story. When she signed the copy to Jake she wrote "To Jake..." however when she signed the copy she had intended to give to Heath she signed it "To Ennis." After writing out her personal message she realized what she had done and decided to leave it be. In a private screening at Arclight in Hollywood, CA she reflected that Heath Ledger really was Ennis. She left the signed copy that way because she had felt Mr. Ledger has embodied Ennis in every way she had wrote (sic) him.
