"K" is knuckling

Jack disliked the idea of knuckling under to Ennis's demand that they stay apart, but he chose to go along with it rather than lose Ennis altogether.

Movie poster spoofs featuring every male couple from cartoon hero He-Man and foe Skeletor (Grayskull Mountain) to lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Rep. Tom DeLay (in Kickback Mountain) litter the Internet.

"M" is marriages

"It’s a story about the cowboys’ future, not their past as we hardly get a glimpse of their lives before that fateful day at Joe’s except for references of childhood experiences.  We follow them through their tumultuous marriages and the self-destructive decisions they make.  Their romance becomes a quicksand that they struggle in as they consider their homosexual relationship for the rest of their lives."

At the early onset of autumn Ennis and Jack had to leave Brokeback Mountain on Aguirre's orders.  :'(

"P" is press-on

"Brokeback Mountain is blessedly free of Hollywood condescension, despite the presence of outsized belt buckles and press-on nails.  There is not one character, major or minor, that devolves into caricature.  The movie is a triumph of spare dialogue, as actors communicate reams with their faces and bodies."
-- Matthew Kennedy, Bright Lights Film Journal   [review]

"Q" is queerness

Brokeback demonstrated that there are plenty of Americans who are quite ready to deal with queerness.

"S" is sandwiched

Ennis began the night of Tent Scene 1 beside the fire but when the fire went out he ended up sandwiched in a bedroll with Jack.
