Hey BetterMostians!
I had an idea for a TOTW and I've gotten a whole load of TOTW suggestions by a collaborating team of three lovely BetterMost Ladies :D.
Thank you very much LauraGigs, Belbbmfan and atz74 for this week's topic and some more!!!
I plan to set up those topics on a biweekly basis. One of the topics will be a quiz, so keep an eye on the Open Forum, all you quizzers and gamesters out there :).
In the long history of BetterMost BBM threads, it's entirely possible that some of these things have already been discussed here and there. But, it might be fun to repackage and reexamine some of these in fresh ways.
Don't be shy to express your thoughts even when someone else already said something similar or when you just want to express agreement. Nobody can see it when you sit at your computer, silently nodding along. But we're interested in your opinion, so let it be known :).
Questions about Jack's last will
particularly his cremation
Do you think Jack had an official last will, a written testament? In the story Lureen says "He use to say he wanted to be cremated...". In the movie Lureen also uses the phrase "He used to say he wanted [his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain]."
Why was he so prepared with a detailed will (if he had a detailed will, that is) and instructions about his burial so young? Was it unusual for people in Wyoming and Texas to be cremated in the 70s and early 80s? What were his real expectations regarding Ennis? Would he have really expected Ennis to get so involved in trying to take his ashes to Brokeback, meeting his parents, etc.?
