From the Jakarta Post

"In the Brokeback Mountain  review which appeared on this page in the March 5 issue, the lead actors' roles were switched.  Heath Ledger plays Ennis Del Mar and Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jack Twist."

"K" is knavishness

Jack didn't appreciate the knavishness that L.D. Newsome expected from him.

def. - like or befitting a knave (a  male servant)

When I started the "ABCz of Brokeback Mountain" game back at the BBM Board, no one ever imagined that the "ABCz of BBM" would ever hit way over 70,000 viewz and counting!  And, let's face it, it's wayyyy over 70,000 viewz with an approximate 10,000 viewz from the original game and its divisions at the IMDB.  Then, to be real, accurate and complete, U'd have to also include the huge "ABCz Answer List", the three "Themed ABCz", the "ABCz Playerz-at-a-Glance", "Our Fascination with the ABCz of BBM" and, of course, the "ABCz Congratulationz" file here at the BetterMost Forum! 

70,000+ viewz of BBM

CONGRATULATIONZ
to all of the many needed
ABCz Playerz
and to all of the few needed
ABCz Moderatorz!!



Gamely,

Will-ABC

"L" is L.D.'s

L.D.'s arrogance and boorishness inevitably compel Jack to give him what for.

=thanks= Toast, Sandy, Fran
Mille grazie for the 1000 post wishes.

"M" is moves

"During the day Ennis looked across a great gulf and sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow as an insect moves across a tablecloth; Jack, in his dark camp, saw Ennis as night fire, a red spark on the huge black mass of mountain."  [story]

"N" is name-calling
« Reply #9076 on: December 01, 2006, 10:45:43 am »
Out of frustration, Jack resorted to name-calling, referring to Ennis as a "son of a whoreson bitch" the last time they were together.

"O" is one-way

Jack was hoping for a one-way ticket to paradise when he went to see Ennis after his divorce.

"Jack tried a Carl Perkins song, bawling 'what I say-ay-ay,' but he favored a sad hymn, 'Water-Walking Jesus,' learned from his mother who believed in the Pentecost, that he sang at dirge slowness, setting off distant coyote yips."  [story]

"Q" is quenchability
« Reply #9079 on: December 01, 2006, 11:52:27 am »
Up on Brokeback, Ennis and Jack had a few times to test the quenchability of their thirsts, but they didn't seem to realize the strength of the hunger they had for each other.
