The 1967 reunion kiss was altogether too passionate for words; later, Jack and Ennis got in the altogether at the Motel Six Siesta.

"B" is biggest

"Ang Lee's multi-Golden Globe nominated feature Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal ponied up a heap of cash over the weekend, spectacularly bursting the six-figure average threshold.  The critically lauded film grossed $547,425 from just five screens in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, averaging a whopping $109,485, the biggest screen average included in the history of this column."

"C" is cities

After seeing Brokeback Mountain perform strongly in a handful of conservative test cities last weekend, Focus Features has decided to accelerate its expansion schedule for the gay cowboy romance. Brokeback, which set a per-theater box-office record over the weekend for any non-IMAX movie released in more than 50 theaters, is expected to move onto 300-400 screens by Jan. 6. It currently is playing in 69 theaters and had been expected to expand to 250 on Jan. 13.

A director's chair from Brokeback Mountain emblazoned with Heath Ledger's name was one of many items up for bid on June 16, 2008, in Los Angeles at Bonhams & Butterfields' auction of entertainment memorabilia.


The winning bid appears to have been $1,680.

During the summer of 1963, 2 men discover their futures in Brokeback Mountain, Wyoming. It’s where they met and it’s where they found themselves.

The 1967 reunion kiss was marked by its passion and by its gruffness.

At sixes and sevens over the tangled sheep, a harried Ennis and a crabby Jack worked long to get them sorted out.

"I" is indelicate

As Alma hurried off to work an extra shift, Ennis used indelicate language within earshot of six-year-old Alma Jr. and four-year-old Jenny.

In 1967 at their reunion, Ennis and Jack spent their time lavishing each other with affection.
