"P" is privation
« Reply #9431 on: December 13, 2006, 11:02:04 am »
"They were raised on small, poor ranches in opposite corners of the state, Jack Twist in Lightning Flat up on the Montana border, Ennis del Mar from around Sage, near the Utah line, both high school dropout country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life."  [story]

def. = lack of the basic necessities or comforts of life

"Q" is quick-wittedly

After Jack said: "But I figure, the world ends, and fellas like you and me march off to hell", Ennis quick-wittedly responded: "Speak for yourself," "You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity."

Jack's klunker pickup was registered in Texas in both 1963 and 1966.

His plate numbers were WS*3547 in 1963
and SHR*746 in 1966.

After coming down from the mountain, Jack and Ennis realize that they are very tangled up in each other.

"U" is underpaid
« Reply #9436 on: December 13, 2006, 12:22:10 pm »
Actor Randy Quaid filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court in March, claiming he was underpaid for his supporting role in Brokeback Mountain  as rancher Joe Aguirre.  Quaid alleged that Focus Features duped him into deferring his normal payment for the film by touting the production as an independent art-house film that couldn't afford to pay actors their normal rate.  He later withdrew the suit.

"W" is wheeled
« Reply #9438 on: December 13, 2006, 12:42:50 pm »
Jack wheeled around in his klunky pickup during the years 1963 to 1966.

=reply= Paul
Yes I was surprised at the Texas registration on his 1950 GMC.
That's why I got pics to prove it.
Might have bought it down there, from his earnings on Brokeback in 1962.

=compliment= Sandy
I love "tangled."

"Some gay friends have complained about the lack of hot sex in Brokeback Mountain, as if they expected a Titan Media xtravaganza.  Since when do closet cases make for ideal sex partners?"
