"Z" is zloty

When Brokeback Mountain was showing in theaters in Poland, the currency used to buy a ticket was the zloty.

"A" is auguries

Throughout the movie there are many auguries of Jack's death, and there are auguries of Jack's and Ennis's relationship in the first part of the movie.

Thanks to latjoreme for mentioning auguries in her "Bookends" post!!

XXX - busied
« Reply #7343 on: September 23, 2006, 06:55:25 pm »
Excuse me but the word busied is already in the Answerz List.
So I XXX it and I can find a new B word.
If I do wrong, please let me know.  I have Private Messages, I think.

=clarification=
The word "busied" was previously posted in Round 253 by Will-U (reply #7007).

Det ensomme liv under åben himmel og de rå men smukke omgivelser danner langsomt rammen om en ømhed mellem de to mænd.
The lonely life in the open air and those rough but beautiful surroundings slowly create a tenderness between the two men.

"C" is cruel

I say that the father of boy Ennis was a cruel man and he did a cruel thing to his boys.

"D" is determinedly

Scene:
Higgins Gift Shop {End-of-Summer $ale!}

Ennis determinedly went into the gift shop in search of a postcard of Brokeback Mountain.  He didn't find one but he ordered it. ;)  (In fact, somebody toasted our BBM postcard; it's gone!)


=comment= Sheyne
Sheyne & Will went to Greenwich Village in Manhattan and the first place I took her was the original Stonewall Club!  We cruised down gay Christopher Street.  We ate at Manatus Restaurant out front -- a good place to see and be seen!  Among local celebs who I proudly intro'd Sheyne to were (a) the legendary "Rollerina", (b) a chief advisor at City Hall and (c) a head of the Gay police officers group (who had 3 prisoners in his NYCPD van).  S & I were served cold bubblies, such as strawberry daiquiris and piña coladas, and hot dishes -- and we also dished hotly!  We can't repeat anything  here at the ver' censored BM forum.)  Sheyne & I had unbridled fun! :laugh:

=announcement= Playerz

"E" is exhaled

"They set up camp without saying much, picketed the horses in the meadow.  Jack broke the seal on a bottle of whiskey, took a long, hot swallow, exhaled forcefully, said, 'That's one a the two things I need right now,' capped and tossed it to Ennis."  [story]

"F" is fires

Jack and Ennis make fires to cook and keep warm.  I think you say they have fires in hearts too.

"G" is gently

Jack gently took Ennis' face in his hands right before he planted one on him in the second tent scene.
:-* This ain't no rodeo, cowboy.
