XXX - zoophobia

Re:  Post #6279, "Z" is zoophobia
Sorry, Ellemeno, in my opinion, Ennis is not exhibiting "zoophobia," an abnormal fear of animals (in this instance, bears).

We need a replacement "Z" for Round 226.

"Z" is Zhen
« Reply #6351 on: August 18, 2006, 08:30:00 pm »
Ming Zhen Shakya, in her article about Ennis and Jack and Joe,  has some interesting ideas and facts about sheep ranging in Wyoming, however her allegations that Jack and Ennis "beat each other up... and then make up and longingly part, staying apart until the cuts and bruises heal so that they look good when they “go fishing” again at which time they beat each other up and then make up and longingly part, staying apart until they heal in time to “go fishing” again at which time....":  Well, for one thing . . .    BBM: a crippled love affair

This is a replacement word for "Z" is zoophobia.

Next letter up is "P".

"P" is promise

"Time plays cruel tricks on the characters of Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee's adaptation of an Annie Proulx short story. Some days promise to last forever. Others get lost in the between-scenes sweep of years. And whatever its speed, time always heads in the same direction, drawing its protagonists away from the promise of the past." Keith Phipps of The Onion

"Q" is quotes
« Reply #6353 on: August 18, 2006, 08:51:59 pm »
One of the most popular Brokeback Mountain quotes used by comedians is Jack's "I wish I knew how to quit you."

"A few weeks later on the Saturday, he threw all Stoutamire's dirty horse blankets into the back of his pickup and took them down to the Quik Stop Car Wash to turn the high-pressure spray on them.  When the wet clean blankets were stowed in the truck bed, he stepped iinto Higgins's gift shop and busied himself with the postcard rack."  [story]

"S" is spitting

John C. Twist sat there, spitting in his coffee cup, arguing that Jack wasn't too good to be buried on the grieving plain as one of his family.

"T" is typewriters

To write the BBM screenplay, Diana Ossana used a computer, while Larry McMurtry used one of his typewriters.

"U" is underage

Ennis' hardship license made it possible for him to drive to school even though, at fourteen, he was underage.

Ennis would often vex Jack with his quiet, diffident manner.

"W" is warmed

After Jack invited Ennis into the tent to get warmed up, they certainly warmed up to each other.
