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

"In casting the two lead roles, (Ang) Lee says that his decisions were based solely on talent, and that the actors’ sexuality was never a factor. But he does admit that sexual identification might have made the process easier. 'If they’re gay, I’m happier,' he says. 'But I never asked if they were gay.  I never checked with their agent.'

"(Jake) Gyllenhaal hears this and gives Lee a sly glance. 'That would be job discrimination,' he says."  [link]

The morning after the first tent scene, Ennis's uncombed hair was an apt reflection of his befuddled state of mind.

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Vivacious {that "V" word was already used} Linda Higgins in her great enthusiasm to accommodate handsome Ennis offered to order him a voluminous amount of BBM postcards!

def = numerous, more than enough

"Brokeback Mountain is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center.  It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story."

The xcessiveness of Lureen's cosmetic 'improvements' accentuate the hollowness of her personality.

Lureen's hair and teeth were at their yellowest during her phone call with Ennis.

"The development of this story from a flash in Annie Proulx's mind into a prize-winning narrative, then into a masterful but scary screenplay, and now into a courageous film Gay Chicago producer Craig Zadan has called 'not a hit movie [but] a phenomenon,' has much to teach us.  To go deeply into the unknown can enrich your life; creativity taken with risk leads to euphoria -- the right daring, perceptive people arrived after the script was looked at and rejected for six years."  -- Andrew Hudson, White Crane  [link]

Jack repeatedly assured Ennis that everything was alright.

def = alright 
–adverb all right. 

—Usage note The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing.

Jack was both topless and bottomless (except for his boots) when he was washing clothes in the river.
