Mr. John Twist was unwilling to let his son's ashes go to Brokeback Mountain.

"V" is venting

Jack was given to venting about things he disagreed with, while Ennis was a "stander."

"W" is whether

Ennis didn't know whether he was coming or going after Jack placed his hand on his crotch.

I'm kind of partial to twisted pasta.

"X" is xcusable

There is nothing xcusable about the death of Earl, and the manner in which Mr. Del Mar displayed that dead body to his male children.

On their way over to Alma in the condiments aisle, Ennis and the girls walked past a display of yellow-peeled bananas.

"Z" is zither

The instrument that most closely matches the sound of Gustavo Santaolalla's guitars from Ang Lee's native China/Taiwan is the zither. It has a metallic and faintly melancholic sound made by strumming or picking strings just like a guitar, and is often used in folk music, the Chinese equivalent of US country-western music. The zither can be heard in Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"A" is agenda
« Reply #7787 on: October 15, 2006, 08:58:46 pm »
But the question remains: Does "Brokeback Mountain" have an agenda? After all, it's certainly not preachy. It's as stoic as the men it follows and the mountain it loves. It's a story of a love that dare not speak its name because nobody in it knows the word for its name.

"B" is begun

Ennis and Jack "torqued things almost to where they had been, for what they'd said was no news.  Nothing ended, nothing begun, nothing resolved."  [story]

"C" is come-on

Jack's offer to buy Jimbo a drink was a come-on.

Great job with the yellow-peeled post and the eggs graphic. Were you grocery shopping today?
