"L" is looniness

In "Blood on the red carpet," Annie Proulx opined on the looniness of the 78th Academy Awards, where "conservative heffalump academy voters" found "Trash" more deserving of the Best Picture Oscar than "Brokeback Mountain."

"N" is ninetieth

In the short story "Brokeback Mountain," the ninetieth word is "full."

"Ennis Del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in
around the aluminum door and window frames. The shirts hanging
on a nail shudder slightly in the draft. He gets up, scratching the grey
wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours
leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan; the flame swathes it in blue.
He turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and
jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get
them full on."

Lureen thought Brokeback Mountain was a place melodious with oscinine sounds and redolent of flowing whiskey.

"P" is pulp

"Whoa, whoa, whoa.  It ain't goin a be that way.  We can't.  I'm stuck with what I got, caught in my own loop.  Can't get out of it.  Jack, I don't want a be like them guys you see around sometimes.  And I don't want a be dead.  There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich -- Dad would pass a remark when he seen them.  They was a joke even though they was pretty tough old bids.  I was what, nine years old and they found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch.  They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick until it pulled off, just bloody pulp.  What the tire iron done looked like pieces a burned tomatoes all over him, nose tore down from skiddin on gravel."

Aguirre finally gave Jack and Ennis the okay to come inside the trailer, remarking on the scrawniness of their derriers: "If you pair of deuces are lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto."

Ennis and Alma tobogganed down a hill in Wyoming on a winter day in 1964.

Lureen showed off and then took off her ultrafeminine lingerie in the backseat of her daddy's car.

"W" is wimp

Old Man Twist let Ennis know right away that he was no wimp, glowering at him in his best  saturnine manner.
