The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Toast]

How about a round of applause for all the rounds that we have survived.
A special round of applause for Mayor WillYum and his recaps.

Ooops!
I almost forgot that I have to connect to Brokeback too.

Jack sits on the tailgate of his old pickup, taping his right hand for his upcoming bull-ride. Hears applause. Looks around, sees the quarter horse and the young woman come flying out of the arena, everybody standing way back, giving her room.

Just as she passes Jack, her hat flies off, lands at his feet.    [Jack meets Lureen - in the screenplay]

Ennis gave Jack the brush-off after he had travelled 1400 miles to see him after his divorce.

I wasn't giving you the brush-off. Thanks for the recap.

 “They were respectful of each other’s opinions, each glad to have a companion where none had been expected.”
  From the short story

[Mikaela]

Sheepherding one summer on Brokeback Mountain proved forever detrimental to Ennis’s peace of mind – but still he wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

Will - thanks for letting us know the stats!  And congrats to Fran-E for being by far the most prolific poster in recent rounds.

"Alma enters, puts down a grocery bag, sorts through the mail.  There's an electric bill and, beneath it, a postcard addressed to Ennis.  She studies the postcard, then puts it back down on the pile of mail as she hears Ennis's truck pull up."  [screenplay]

=aside= Will
I'm pleased to be leading the pack in terms of
ABCs posts in the post-Round 200 series.  Thanks
for taking the time to compile this for us.

Judy Becker (Production Designer):  The short story made me cry, and the script made me cry too. Brokeback Mountain is a love story, and it's also about whether or not you have the inner strength to fulfill your life.   [Production Notes]

" ..a companion where none had been expected.”
One of my favourite lines from the whole story.
Kongratz for coming in second to Fran.
No mean feat.

Ennis was knocked galley-west when Jack accidentally butted his face with his knee. Def: into destruction or confusion <was knocked galley-west>

[southendmd]

Ennis was haunted in his dreams by Jack's death.

=aside= Will
This is your old haunt; keep gracing us with your stats and
comments.  Don't shame me with my one measly post during
201-205; I was in Ogunquit, ME, this weekend.

[Mikaela]

You either buy into this tale of men in love or you join the ranks of those who’ve been snickering during the movie’s prerelease trailers, and who can be divided into the insecure, the idiots, or the insecure idiots.

OK, so I really liked that review comment. Spot-on.

The evening was a jimdandy.  Ennis had plenty to eat, spoke more words than he did all year, had a friend dance for him, and even his Dad's negative words seemed ok.
