"E" is embarrassment
« Reply #8950 on: November 27, 2006, 06:18:59 pm »
Just after getting a summer job on Brokeback, Ennis and Jack start drinking together before ten a.m.  After his initial embarrassment at having only a buck and some change, Ennis helps Jack chug some beers when Jack promises to cover the tab.

"F" is flummoxed

Ennis was unaware that he had Jack absolutely flummoxed when he first met him. After the crow-hopping scene, however, it started to sink in.

"G" is gills

Ennis was stuffed to the gills after Thanksgiving, though there was no fish on the menu.  Alma saved that for later.

"H" is Heath's

Heath's nomination for an Oscar for best actor was well deserved.  We were reminded of that last night seeing BBM on HBO-tv.

"I" is incessant
« Reply #8954 on: November 27, 2006, 06:52:36 pm »

Randall Malone seems to have noticed the incessant chatter of his wife Lashawn:
" ...  couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak."

"J" is jokingly
« Reply #8955 on: November 27, 2006, 07:00:42 pm »
"Despite losing the Best Picture Oscar to Crash, the ensemble picture that delves into America’s chronic racial tension, the director (Ang Lee) was in his usual, good-natured spirit after the ceremony.  'We’re crashed!' he jokingly exclaimed as he embraced Annie Proulx, the writer of the short story on which Brokeback Mountain was based."

"K" is knolly

The scene of Ennis pouting on the knolly hill signaled the death knell of that first summer on the mountain.

"L" is laundered
« Reply #8957 on: November 27, 2006, 07:15:14 pm »
Throughout the film, we see scenes of fabric being laundered. The first time we encounter it is a jarring scene, the day after the tent scene, when Jack is doing the laundry in the stream, wearing nothing but his boots. He beats Ennis’ shirt with a stick to clean it. Later, we see Alma hanging up the laundry on a clothesline. Ennis comes in to the house while she is scrubbing the laundry on an old fashioned washboard. Later, they move to an apartment that is over a Laundromat, and they argue amidst the steam that boils forth from the vents. In the last scene, Ennis discovers Alma, jr.’s sweater that she has left behind, and he carefully folds it and places it in his closet.

"N" is narrow-minded

There were several narrow-minded coots in the film;  two of them were narrow only in mind.

Reminds me of the classic post:  "K" is keisters.  In the office of Aguirre there are three keisters, and two are scrawny.
