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

[Fran]

The USS Thresher disaster was one newsworthy event discussed by Jack and Ennis during the summer of '63.

[Meryl]

Alma never okayed Ennis's trips with Jack, but she knew he would go with or without her approval.

[memento]

It was payback time for Jack when he told old man Newsome that he would knock his "ignorant ass into next week."

The reunion kiss renewed Jack and Ennis's passion.

[Fran]

The stale coffee is boiling up but he catches it before it goes over the side, pours it into a stained cup and blows on the black liquid, lets a panel of the dream slide forward.  If he does not force his attention on it, it might stoke the day, rewarm that old, cold time on the mountain when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong.

[Meryl]

For many years after Brokeback, Ennis tried tricking himself into thinking Jack was just his oldest, closest friend, but in the end he realized he was his one true love.

[southendmd]

Ennis was unconsolably sad, contemplating the loss of his old friend and lover.

[Fran]

"A story of love, loss and landscape, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain  balances expressiveness and restraint.  In part, it is a grand, romantic narrative (the story of a relationship between two men that is in the tradition, somehow, of what was once called in Hollywood a 'woman's picture'). But it's also a story of withholding, renunciation and deeply felt pain."

-- Philippa Hawker, The Age

Round 689!

Even More "Old" or "New"

"Lureen's old man wouldn't give me a dime if I dropped it, except one way."

Words containing "old"

Words containing "new"

[memento]

Jack and Ennis's relationship started anew after their four-year reunion.
