Thank U for celebrating yr 800th here, Amanda! A tip of the old coffeepot to U!

Have you noticed that in most scenes Jack is seated to the right of Ennis. Left brain, right brain?
Front-Ranger:
You're right about that, magic. Also, I notice that Jack is more often reclining or leaning forward, while Ennis is straight up and down. In the lake scene and the post-divorce scene Jack is on the right. Then in the reunion kiss, he starts out being on the right, but ends up on the left. Somehow, as hard as I try, I never can follow the choeography of that scene!!
Brown Eyes:
Hi Lee,
Yeah, I think the topic of horizontal vs. vertical is probably very important and hasn't been hashed out thoroughly yet as far as I recall. My feeling is that reversals and "choreography" when it comes to top/ botton and horizontal/ vertical in the love scenes and "tussles" are probably really important too.
Brown Eyes:
So, the spirit of Ennis (prompted by Jack's complaining...) prompted me to "poach" this image from one of jpwagonneer1964's posts back on Open Forum. I hope he doesn't mind. It just seemed to scream to be included on this thread.
