We witness Jack’s ability to xude his interest in Ennis upon first sight.  ;D
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.  George Banks

"A" is Alberta

"All the little gold men have been handed out, but will any victory have lasting effect?  Certainly it will in Alberta -- the real location of Brokeback Mountain which went into the Oscars as the front-runner but, in the only twist of the evening, was bumped by Crash for best picture."

"D" is deep-drifted
« Reply #6727 on: August 28, 2006, 05:09:42 pm »
"Going up, the day was fine but the trail deep-drifted and slopping wet at the margins.  They left it to wind through a slashy cut, leading the horses through brittle branchwood, Jack, the same eagle feather in his old hat, lifting his head in the heated noon to take the air scented with resinous lodgepole, the dry needle duff and hot rock, bitter juniper crushed beneath the horses' hooves."  [story]

"F" is framing
« Reply #6729 on: August 28, 2006, 05:34:40 pm »
So, in Brokeback Mountain ... you have two guys with slim hips and dungarees and cowboy hats pulled low. They lean against pickups, smoke cigarettes, and trade monosyllables (if that). They're suitable for framing.   Lasso Me Tender
