"V" is viewpoint
« Reply #5410 on: August 01, 2006, 03:27:31 pm »
Ennis' viewpoint on the subject of living with Jack:  "Two guys livin' together?  No way.  We can get together once in a while way the hell out in the back of nowhere...."

"W" is wall-to-wall
« Reply #5411 on: August 01, 2006, 03:30:13 pm »
Lureen & Jack had, what was considered then, luxurious wall-to-wall carpeting in their home -- as compared to a few tacky throw rugs in Ennis' tired trailer.


=comment= Playerz
Fact is, at the "ABCs" today, we have wall-to-wall posts!!!!!

"X" is xecrable
« Reply #5412 on: August 01, 2006, 03:33:46 pm »
Ennis's father was an xecrable person, showing his young sons the tortured-to-death Earl and laughing about it.

Will, you're welcome. Quite a lot of the quotes have numerous playable words in them. An excess of BBM  riches!  ;D

"Z" is zig
« Reply #5414 on: August 01, 2006, 03:49:43 pm »
In the short story, Ennis and Alma managed to zig and zag along their marital road for about ten years.  (The movie marriage lasted twelve years.)

Michelle Williams was nominated for an Oscar for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role" and should have won!  ;)

"B" is brilliance
« Reply #5417 on: August 01, 2006, 04:01:07 pm »
That to me is the brilliance of “Brokeback Mountain.” It’s about gay cowboys, sort of — itinerant ranch hands is more accurate — but it’s really about all of us.   pww.org

Michelle can have a capital A too.

After they were castrated, those cows that Ennis was caring for were steers.
