has popped up in my Amazon cart recommendation. Looks interesting. Anything dealing with BBM pops up in my "recommendations."

America on Film: Representing Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality at the Movies, Second Edition
2 edition (January 27, 2009)

The essay about BBM is accompanied by a very rare outtake photo of Jack and Ennis grilling steaks outside a tent, not from the 63 summer... but from the blue parka post-reunion camping trip. I don't remember if I've seen this exact photo before. I feel like I've seen outtakes from the blue parka scene... but, in any case, it is fairly rare. I wish I had a scanner here so I could post the pic.
This one?
I think it´s from the scene that was cut when Ennis gives Jack a can of beans, and Jack gives Ennis a rifle.
Yup, it is. I've more of those pics (though I don't know about Ennis giving Jack a can of beans, but I've pics of the rifle thingie).I´ve read it somewhere. You can see the brown paper bag and the can of beans in the picture. I guess it was a way (again) show the difference between the two as the grew older. Ennis could afford to buy Jack beans while Jack bought Ennis a fancy riffle.

edit. I think I remember where I read it; in one of the earlier drafts of the script, that I read in Denver.
I'm somewhat sorry to report that Crash also has a "case study" essay, and Crash's is number 9. The first sentence of the Crash essay is not as illustrious as the BBM opener. "Crash is a well-intentioned social problem film about the racism and sexism of everyday life." LOL, I enjoy the phrase "social problem film."
Anyway, in general, this book looks very interesting. There's a whole section, with many subsections, about the representation of disabilities on film called "Ability and American Film: Cinematic Images of (Dis)Ability", which seems like a particulary interesting topic. Most of the sections are about race, gender and sexuality (as the book's title and subtitles suggest).
This one?
To me the first sentence about Crash sounds nice ;D. "Well-intentioned" - like in well-inentioned, but not well done ;)
Well I am upset! >:(
I ordered it on Amazon.com (another seller) and the book I got is an older copy. The seller didn't tell me that the book he's selling is an edition that predates Brokeback Mountain. I don't know if I should leave negative feedback or not.
The only reason I bought the book was because the one on Amazon.com had an image from BBM and the book cover I got has a collage of movie images predating BBM. I've bought many books from Amazon.com's other book suppliers and have never had this occur. Be forewarned that you get the latest editon.
This is the one I received. Same title, different cover.
