"G" is groundbreaking
« Reply #7010 on: September 03, 2006, 07:19:21 am »
"What makes it so potentially groundbreaking, though, is that it has become something of a cinematic oxymoron: an unapologetically sexual love story between two men with a real shot at breaking out of art houses and into the mainstream."

"H" is hubris

L.D. was a man filled with hubris.
Def: Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance

"I" is indecipherable

Ennis keeps his volume low; his voice is frequently an indecipherable mumble.

"J" is juxtaposed

Juxtaposed to the rather homely Alma,  Lureen comes across as a much more daring and fashionable young woman.

"K" is kibble
« Reply #7015 on: September 03, 2006, 02:30:52 pm »
Ennis had to have included kibble on his weekly list of necessities, since sheep dogs require supplemental food.

"L" is lying

''I'm stuck with what I've got here,'' he says, voice tinged with sorrow, lying beside Jack in a motel room. ''Makin' a livin' is 'bout all I got time for now.''     Love Story by R Shulman

"M" is muckety-muck
« Reply #7017 on: September 03, 2006, 05:36:51 pm »
L.D. acted like a high muckety-muck.
Def: An important, often overbearing person.

Congratz on 800 posts and I'm also glad your 800th was posted here at the ABCz.

"N" is naysayer
« Reply #7018 on: September 03, 2006, 05:39:29 pm »
Ennis was a naysayer when it came to two men living together.

"O" is open-hearted
« Reply #7019 on: September 03, 2006, 05:40:52 pm »
Jack's attempts to draw out the laconic, strong-and-silent Ennis are not predatory but open-hearted and good-natured.
