After the summer spent on Brokeback, Jack wintered at his parents' place then headed out for Texas in the spring.

"A" is arc

In his review of Brokeback Mountain, film critic Roger Ebert wrote that Ang Lee "respects the entire arc of his story, right down to the lonely conclusion."

Ennis's postcard suggesting a November 7 meeting at Pine Creek boomeranged, stamped "deceased".

"C" is cauliflower

Ennis took an instant dislike to the two strangers who sat down behind his family for the fireworks, getting up ready to deliver a cauliflower ear or worse when they persisted with their slopbucket language.

Aguirre made it clear he thought the boys endangered the sheep whilst stemming the rose.

"F" is forces

Peter Travers, the film critic for Rolling Stone, described Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain  as a "defiantly erotic love story about two Wyoming ranch hands and the external and internal forces that drive them from desire to denial."

Missed you.  Glad you're back.

"G" is gang

Directing a film is a very difficult thing to do well. It is, after all, an artistic endeavor. Unlike most art, however, film directing requires a gang of a couple hundred people to “help out” in various capacities. On top of that, the director must be able to adjust to inconceivable conditions that arise while filming occurs: for example, bad weather (not just rain; sometimes it’s hail, snow, tornados, forest fires), bad health (one or more of the cast or key shooting crew), personality conflicts, mechanical / technical failure (from cameras breaking down to scratches on the negative), all of which I have personally experienced on projects.

After Ennis lost interest, Cassie felt like a hanger-on.
