The Twist's tasteful decor includes a brown-colored velveteen sofa.

Surely dinner guests in the Twists' home were cpmplimentary, when they noticed the complementary purple and yellow in the tasteful dining room decor.

The Thanksgiving preparations have left Alma's kitchen in a state of disarray.

Surely any Texas diner of good taste would lose his/her appetite at the eyepopping sight of the mauve dining chairs.

According to FindingBrokeback.com, the Twist Thanksgiving scenes were shot inside a condemned house near Elbow and Glenmore, in Calgary.  The house has since been demolished.

Some of the houses used for filming have been demolished, but other houses like Monroe's and the lonely ranch house are viewable in Alberta.

"I" is incorporate

Jack showed parental concern and hunted for his parka while Lureen continued her own hunt for extra zeros at this abandoned house south of downtown Calgary. After looking at several possibilities, the filmmakers chose the house that suggested wealth.

If you are able to pry your eyes from Lureen's ever-expanding hairdo, note the wall decorations which incorporate mounted rodeo buckles. Undoubtedly, these are intended to memorialize a simpler and happier time in Jack's life. They seem to be to be very much out of place on the wall of mirrored foil wallpaper, just as Jack must have felt himself a stranger in that town, that job, that family, and that bed.

The jovialness of the Thanksgiving holiday celebration ends for Alma Jr. and Jenny as they watch their father storm out the door.

"L" is lintel

In the Twist house, each door and window had a lintel, to keep the delicate balance from tumbling down.



lintel - a horizontal architectural member supporting the weight above an opening, as a window or a door.
