Even though Ennis was late, a happy-as-a-clam Jack greeted him like a happy camper, long before he went to the happy hunting ground.

An excerpt from the Brokeback Mountain movie review posted by Philip Concannon at the blog known as Phil on Film:

"Brokeback Mountain opens in Wyoming in 1963. Two young men, barely twenty years old, are hanging around outside the office of a local foreman who may have some work for them. Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) is an upright, silent, ruggedly handsome character who barely moves a muscle. Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) is slightly more animated, a little restless, and one imagines that he would be only too happy to strike up a conversation with this stranger. Not a word is said, however; with only a few suspicious, guarded glances being exchanged beneath Ennis’ broad-rimmed hat."

An excerpt about his(Jake's) role in Brokeback Mountain from the latest EW:

Gyllenhaal seems mystified by the hoopla surrounding his controversial role in Mountain: "I really did approach it like I would any love story. No matter how weird people might think it is or how fucked up they might consider a certain relationship to be, if there is love there, then that's all that matters." Asked about rumors that the film's love scenes break explicit new ground, he laughs coyly. "I mean...I don't know...Um, all I can say is that they're there." Another mischievous laugh.

Sounds promising!

When co-producer James Schamus was asked how he thought his new film (Brokeback Mountain) would be received "out there in the sticks," he replied, "I honestly don't know. The film is a kind of trade-off, in some ways, because it pretty much refuses the mantle of the traditional Western, while at the same time, wholeheartedly embracing the American West. But while I don't want to undersell the film, or insist on its ridiculous frugality, we did make this epic by rubbing two nickels together. So if even a couple of ranchers in Butte, Montana, wander into the cinema by mistake, we'll be in profit."

After years of verbal abuse from L.D., Jack decided that at this year 's Thanksgiving he (and possibly the turkey) had to toughen up, and threatened to kick the stuffing out of L.D.
