Let's have a moment of silence for the turkeys' sacrifice for the betterment of the film.

I hear what you're say-ang to Lee and me.
Monroe was a hulk-ing figure in his plaid sportcoat, even if he can't smell nothing while smoking. 
I'll bet he had a hidden flagon and a crouching cigar in that sportcoat.

kar-ma that came Ennis's way:  I just got it.

Alma and Ennis were busy upsetting the apple cart in the kitchen while Monroe was smoking and watching TV in apple-pie order.

Ennis's rodeo story amuses Alma Jr. and Jenny but vexes Alma.

While Alma was doing the washing-up after dinner, she was dressing down Ennis.

"X" is xcoriator

Alma, the xcoriator, had fewer dishes after Thanksgiving.  I hope she didn't contaminate the turkey meat with shards of pottery or glass.

Ennis was humiliatingly outed after his yeomanly assistance with the dishes after T-giving dinner.

"Z" is Zolaesque
« Reply #8556 on: November 14, 2006, 06:56:48 pm »
Annie Proulx's approach in Brokeback Mountain is Zolaesque, dwelling on the naturalistic details especially on the rougher side of life, in the manner established by Emile Zola.

"B" is brute

(Gyllenhaal and Ledger) are both magnificent. Their scenes of passion have a masculine brute force, pent-up repression unleashed, passion unrestrained. The love scenes -- particularly the first encounter -- are shocking, uncompromising, brilliant. Love Story by R Shulman
