"K" is kissableness

Jack Twist's kissableness brought Ennis Del Mar down the stairs two at a time.

def - inviting kissing through being lovable or physically attractive.

Jack's lovableness brought Ennis to his knees.

"M" is mood

Just the sight of Jack put Ennis in the mood.

=aside=
Upon request in his will, "In The Mood" was played at the funeral of Peter Sellers in 1980. It was a ghoulish joke on Sellers' part; the comedian hated the song. Presumably the version played was the classic version, and not the Ray Stevens comedic version, by a "group" called The Henhouse Five, the "vocals" consisting entirely of imitation chicken-clucks.

"N" is near-perfect

"The film, written by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, is a near-perfect adaptation of Proulx's work.  It has already earned the top prize at the Venice Film Festival and is almost certain to be an Oscar contender.  More than that, though, Brokeback feels like a landmark film.  No American film before has portrayed love between two men as something this pure and sacred." 
-- Sean Smith, Newsweek

"O" is one-man

When Jack did his mock-rodeo-mating-dance, he was a one-man show.

Green Giant pork and beans are on the top shelf near the condiment aisle at the Riverton supermarket.

"Q" is quietus

At the end of Brokeback Mountain, moviegoers are left to decide for themselves whether Jack was given his quietus by tire iron or tire rim.

def. = a euphemism for death

Even though Ennis never had the opportunity, he quickly learned the ropes in Tent Scene I.

Every time Jack brought up his dreams for a life together Ennis stymied the notion.

"T" is taping
« Reply #8249 on: November 04, 2006, 09:30:47 am »
Jack sits on the tailgate of his old pickup, taping his right hand for his upcoming bull-ride. Hears applause. Looks around, sees the quarter horse and [Lureen] come flying out of the arena, everybody standing way back, giving her room.
Just as she passes Jack, her hat flies off, lands at his feet.   [2003 screenplay]
