"E" is emblazoning

From Taipan, Taiwan:

"Residents of this leaf-shaped island of 23 million people exulted Monday -- Sunday night in Hollywood -- as native son Ang Lee won the Oscar in the best-director category for his gay romance Brokeback Mountain.  Expectations had been high in the run-up to the ceremony a half a world away, with office workers taking time off to watch live television broadcasts, and newspapers emblazoning Lee's photograph across their front pages."
-- Min Lee, Assciated Press

"F" is for fever

"Get beaver fever doin' that", said Ennis, then, "Good enough place," looking at the level bench above the river, two, or three fire rings from old hunting camps. [story]

"G" is groaned

According to Annie Proulx, Ennis was a wrangler on the old Elwood Hi-Top place in September 1964 when Alma Jr. was born and their bedroom was full of sounds as the baby squalled and sucked and Alma sleepily groaned.

Ennis thought Jack's idea of a life together was a hare-brained scheme.

"I" is influencing

From a review of Brokeback Mountain:

"The affair begins almost by accident and grows into a powerful love that spans decades, influencing their lives and altering the lives of those around them."
-- John Hayes, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"J" is jealous
« Reply #9235 on: December 07, 2006, 01:48:05 pm »
Ennis seemed to be very jealous after hearing Jack admit that he had been to Mexico; and he replied with this threat:

"I got a say this to you one time, Jack, and I ain't foolin. What I don't know, all them things I don't know could get you killed if I should come to know them."    [Proulx]

The wedding of Ennis and Alma was filmed in a little kirk in the small town of Dinton, Alberta.

kirk = church

"M" is for massed
« Reply #9238 on: December 07, 2006, 03:02:57 pm »
The cold air sweetened, banded pebbles and crumbs of soil cast sudden pencil-long shadows, and the rearing lodgepole pines below them massed in slabs of somber malachite. [story]
