"I" is instantly
« Reply #7930 on: October 20, 2006, 03:41:10 pm »
According to Annie Proulx, Ennis and Jack met on the landing and were instantly "squeezing the breath out of each other, saying, son of a bitch, son of a bitch, then, and easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard, Jack's big teeth bringing blood, his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling, and the door opening and Alma looking out for a few seconds at Ennis's straining shoulders and shutting the door again and still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other's toes until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, little darlin."

Is there a doctor in the house?

"J" is jumps

When Ennis is given the opportunity to spend some time in the mountains and lakes with Jack during their reunion, he jumps in with both feet.

"Dylan Tichenor, editor of Academy Award-nominated Brokeback Mountain, and Hughes Winborne, Academy Award-nominated editor of Crash, will be featured speakers at the NAB Post|Production World Conference.

"Tichenor will share his experience cutting Brokeback Mountain, show clips from that film and others to illustrate key points and challenges, and discuss his approach to the craft of editing during the Post|Production World Conference keynote session Saturday, April 22."

"L" is landed

After coming on the bear, Ennis landed hard and rolled on the rocky ground.

"M" is malcontented
« Reply #7934 on: October 20, 2006, 05:20:16 pm »
Jack was malcontented over the fact that he had to spend the night with the sheep rather than with Ennis.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"N" is neediness
« Reply #7935 on: October 20, 2006, 05:37:33 pm »
Jack was more expressive of his neediness than Ennis.

You call for a doctor?
Someone getting the breath squeezed out of 'em?
Need some mouth-to-mouth?
Happy to oblige...

"O" is Oscar-produced
« Reply #7936 on: October 20, 2006, 05:43:13 pm »
Re Brokeback Mountain's loss of the Best Picture Oscar to Crash:

"A positive spin is often appropriate, but not after a setback such as this.  Surely the Academy members who told the press they would not even see Brokeback Mountain, yet alone vote for it, deserved some criticism from GLAAD.  Instead, the organization put the Oscar-produced gay cowboy montage from Sunday's broadcast on their website.  Given the end results of the evening, there was little humor to be found in a second viewing of the clips."
-- Gregory King, Independent Gay Forum

"P" is proletariat
« Reply #7937 on: October 20, 2006, 05:52:43 pm »
Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist ...  are of the rural proletariat, ranch-bred, horse-proud, sinewy, resourceful, brave, tough, industrious, poorly educated.

=aside= Paul
Thanks Doctor.
I knew you could save our ranch stiffs.
Good call, Nurse Sandy.

"Q" is quarrelers'
« Reply #7938 on: October 20, 2006, 05:56:32 pm »
When Jack and Ennis left the mountain, the inadvertent quarrelers' playfulness turned bloody.

"R" is reduce
« Reply #7939 on: October 20, 2006, 06:01:27 pm »
"To reduce the latest picture from director Ang Lee to a taxonomic designation — 'gay cowboy movie,' for instance — would grossly oversimplify a bittersweet tale that delights with its already simple presentation and vast emotional depth."
-- Nicholas Tam, The Gateway
