"X" is xalting

Junior and Jenny enjoyed the fact that their Daddy was xalting them as he minimized his rodeo career.  Alma didn't seem to be moved by any of it.

Although Alma had moved on with Monroe by Thanksgiving, it was clear that Ennis was still the young'uns' daddy.

Jack felt ashamed when Jimbo politely declined his invitation for a beer at a bar in Texas.

"B" is begins

There is a profound ache at the core of Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain -- it's the ache of a powerful love, of a love unable to requite itself, mostly due to circumstances, but largely because of the two people caught up in it. They're men -- cowboys, actually. And their lifelong pine for one another begins one cold night on Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain, where they're employed herding sheep during the summer of 1963.     Love Story by R Shulman

=milestone= Brokies Everywhere
It is now the one year anniversary of when Brokeback Mountain begins.
We will never be the same.

"C" is cockles

When Ennis brings out the wine and tells Junior that "they'll just have to find another cowboy" for the roundup, it warms the cockles of your heart to see her face light up in a big smile.

"D" is detached
« Reply #9336 on: December 09, 2006, 09:52:27 pm »
"As portrayed with profound eloquence and few words by Heath Ledger, Ennis is the kind of Western man with whom no one would ever consider discussing emotions.  He's taciturn, detached, and practical, having learned as a child how to brace himself for the cold snap and the long haul.  Yet from silent hour to silent hour, bitter year after bitter year, every impulse that defines Ennis' nature cries out to be fulfilled.  Brokeback Mountain describes his yearning so beautifully that he comes to appear as both an individual and a representation of an emptiness that haunts the human core."
-- M. I. Kim, The Jujube Review

"E" is estate

Again the ranch is on the market and they've shipped out the last of the horses, paid everybody off the day before, the owner saying, "Give em to the real estate shark, I'm out a here," dropping the keys in Ennis's hand.      [Proulx]

Jack was tired of playing second fiddle to L.D. and sounded off to him on Thanksgiving.

XXX - Zolten's

There is no "Ken Zolten" listed in the credits for Brokeback Mountain.

We need a replacement "Z" word.
