Congrats, Playerz, on 50,000 views of the ABCz of BBM!

Miss you much!  Tried to come up with a "J" just now, but can't.  But I remain an ABCz Player in spirit.   ;)

Take care,

"J" is jo

Though Ennis did not wish to consciously see him as such, Jack was his jo (that is, sweetheart).

Oh, my, what an absolutely wonderful achievement for all of us.  It gives you pause to realize that over 50,000 viewings have happened here for the continuing interest in the heartfelt story and film of Brokeback Mountain.

I must especially thank the A-B-Cz mayor Will and the moderators Fran, Ann Marie and Sandy and the special players Pirate Bride, Front Ranger, Juliette Montague, Dee Dee and Vicky who have all been very kind and helpful to me.  I ask that you forgive me if I overlooked any of my new friends.

God bless all of the, I see, 'congenial' players of the A-B-Cz game.  Please continue this new B.B.M. tradition.

Mrs. Mary S. Twist

"K" is keepers

Jack and Ennis were hired to be the keepers, or custodians, of Joe Aguirre's sheep while the herd was pastured up on Brokeback Mountain.

"L" is languid

Jack liked to drape himself in a languid way against his truck, by the fire, or on the hillside.

"M" is momentary

It was a momentary lapse in judgement for Ennis when he kissed Jack outside.

"N" is nuances

"Gyllenhaal is the more boyish of the two, full of optimism and therefore more overtly wounded when he runs up against the walls that hold him in.  Ledger, in a truly stand-out role, appears at first to be stuck in a rut of coarse mumbling, but as the film progresses, we begin to see fine nuances in his downcast eyes and minimalist speech, ranging from a fierce sense of dignity to an ultimate level of tortured heartbreak."

"O" is out-front

The shop was re-modeled and is re-opened for bizness!!!

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Not keeping her thoughts to herself with lines like "Ennis, you ain't no tourist!" and "What are you lookin' for rootin' through them postcards?", Linda Higgins was quite out-front with Mr. Ennis!
