Ennis quirked his mouth as he started to say more words than he said in a whole year.

Ennis was flying by the seat of his pants when he lowered his pants in Tent Scene I.

"T" is toastable

There are a number of toastable events in the movie:
Birth of Bobby Twist,
Kurt and Jr.'s marriage,
Carving a turkey all by yourself,
The Del Mar divorce - oops.

=aside= Toast
You certainly are getting a lot of mileage out of your moniker - noun, verb, adjective. You still can do an adverb.

"U" is undertone

"Brokeback may have a strong sexual undertone and gripping emotional power, but as the director reveals, he used a minimalist approach for the sex scenes and even rolled the camera unrehearsed."

"V" is vowel
« Reply #8305 on: November 05, 2006, 10:11:15 pm »
"Another vowel that really identifies Wyoming is the ‘i’ in pineapple. It’s very slight, say, compared to Texas where they’d say “pineapple upsy-ide down cake’ with a longer stress on that ‘i.’”

"W" is wheatscape

And what's the image of the real America through (Ennis' trailer) window? Why it's flat. It's a dreary rural wheatscape, if you will, with no features to interest the eye, no textures to assuage the soul. There's nothing interesting to it. It expresses someone's idea of repressed America, where gay men are forced to bury their personalities and violent conformism is the rule of the day.
To paraphrase Gertrude Stein, there's no there there.

"X" is xcels

"Brokeback Mountain  xcels in virtually every way it’s possible for a film to excel.  With superb acting, penetrating, spare dialogue, a gorgeous setting, a gripping plot, and heart-wrenching, mythic themes, Brokeback Mountain  could soon take its place as a classic American Western."
-- Jenny Shank, New West

Lureen's yellow-dyed hair got yellower and yellower as she aged.

"Z" is zeallessly
« Reply #8309 on: November 05, 2006, 10:39:57 pm »
As the story continues, Proulx describes Ennis' "propensity to roll to the wall and sleep as soon as he hit the bed," which implies that Ennis and Alma zeallessly put up with being married.
