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

[Toast]

In fact, generally, (Brokeback Mountain) is cruel to family. It seems to think family is a bourgeois delusion; Ennis's poor daughter ends up in a gaudy Trans Am owned by her fiance, a harbinger of roughneck disaster to come.

Have a good weekend.

Jack was understandably heartbroken by Ennis' post-divorce rejection.

I will be understandably absent for a few days, as we celebrate a long Labor Day weekend.  I'll be basking on the "Irish Riviera", that is, the south shore of Boston for a little R&R&R (the third R being recovering from birthday romping).
Cheers,
Paul

From a five-star review at Video Universe:

"Some people dismiss this as just 'a gay cowboy movie', but this is just oversimplication. The essence of this film is about the enduring power of love, that love comes in ways and means that may not always make us comfortable, but is nonetheless just as valid and real."

Jack and Ennis' whirlwind summer romance on Brokeback turned into a lifelong love.

At the Thanksgiving dinner in Childress, Jack is not pleased when L.D. xpounds that "Boys should watch football."

Ennis's noes starting turning into yeses when he agreed to go to Alma Jr's wedding.

Ennis was quite the zealant during the reunion kiss, as was Jack.

 The final image of the aloneness of the survivor (Ennis) is heartbreaking. He was never a crier, of course, but you know inside he's sobbing.

Nice to have your "real" round announcements back.
Onwards and upwards.

Your round was like going to the Metropolitan Museum.
Mine are like going to the Museum of Bad Art.

Ennis was brooding and quiet, while Jack was outgoing and vivacious.
