The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

"Jack is at the head of the table and has just reached for the carving tools when L.D., older but no kinder, takes them right out of his hands."  [screenplay]

As always, Lee's work with actors is unparalleled, as he elicits graceful, nuanced performances from Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway as the wives affected overtly and subliminally by their husbands' affair, and Gyllenhaal brings surprising dimensions to a character that could have easily just been a puppy dog of a boy. It's Ledger, however, who's the breakthrough in the film, and his portrait of an emotionally repressed man both undone and liberated by his feelings is mesmerizing and devastating.

Jack was full of vim and vigor that summer of 1963 on Brokeback.

“Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback.”

Joe Aguirre was the first to xecrate in Annie Proulx's Brokeback Mountain:

"Last summer had goddamn near twenty-five percent loss. I don't want that again."

But he wasn't the last to do some execrating in that story.

When Ennis was standing with Jack and Aguirre, he was the only yellow-jacketed person among them.
