"Z" is ZDNet

ZDNet has an article reprinted from the Washington Post about editing movies to delete objectionable language, sex and violence, which it claims is an "illegitimate business" .  It uses Brokeback Mountain as an example.

"A" is awesome

The movie, the story, the actors, the creators, and the ABC Playerz and mods (all 3!) are awesome.

=compliment= Sandy
Spin 'em Sandy. Also, great "Z"!  :D

=reply= Lee
Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing your "E".

"B" is bold

"...Jack's people had sent word that his uncle Harold was in the hospital with pneumonia and expected not to make it.  Though he did, and Aguirre came up again to say so, fixing Jack with his bold stare, not bothering to dismount."  [short story]

=================================

U R cordially invited to play
the ABCs of BBM Game

On April 3rd, Will-U started the ABCs of BBM game here at BetterMost.  This is a game where players take turns posting words -- in alphabetical order, of course -- related to Brokeback Mountain.  Believe it or not, our game is now well into its 180th round, and today we reached yet another milestone:  our 5,000th post!  Yes, that's a lot of alphabet letters, but its also a symbol of what a group of people working together can accomplish.

We're always excited to have new Playerz join us.  Come share our fun.  But be forewarned:  The ABCs game is addictive!

Gamely,
Fran and Sandy
Game Moderators

"C" is confusion
« Reply #4974 on: July 18, 2006, 06:50:19 pm »
Ennis was wrought with confusion throughout his life; do I live happily ever after with Jack, or live the miserable life society expects me to live?   ;)

I just want to celebrate another day of living.

"D" is does

As the movie unfolds, it’s clear that Ennis isn’t eager to progress in their relationship; however, Jack does show willingness to "go for it."

"E" is electricity

When Ennis and Jack were standing together on the landing of Ennis's home, their hands grazed each other's and a hot jolt of electricity passed between them.

The boys' occupations of ranch hand and sheep herder are a robust but gritty way of life.

One chilly night on the mountain led to a heated moment of passion.
