Howdy, y'all--
Unlike so many of our amazing writers here, I'm not very gifted in the composition of fiction, but I did recover this old post that I submitted on the IMDb board for BBM back in March that might qualify for inclusion in this forum. It dates from March 29, 2006, and was a response to the OP's invitation to cite examples of all our various random thoughts generated by the film. Here is what I wrote, in a post originally entitled 'Re: Brokeback Randomness-All Your Random BBM Thoughts Here':
I have a friend, who is a major BBM fan, who also lives on a Del Mar Avenue, though not in Downey.
As for random BBM thoughts of late, I find myself trying to fill in the blanks, so to speak, of all that we don't get to see or learn about, much along the lines of your Alma-related musings. For example, at the lakeside quarrel, I wonder what exactly was spoken between Jack and Ennis in the moments between Ennis's breakdown and the shot in which we see Jack watching Ennis drive away. I identify with Jack a lot in how Jack shows love to Ennis, and I imagine what I might have done here: I would have continued to comfort Ennis, drying his tears and kissing him, and reassuring him that everything was still okay. As he composed himself, I would have said something like, "There's my cowboy. Listen, we're gonna have ourselves a grand old time in November. Don't worry--I'll be there. And I promise, no more trips to Mexico...you're the only man in my life, friend. You take care of yourself and your little girls, and just remember I'll be thinking of you in the meantime. I know you gotta get going, but we'll see each other soon. Oh...and friend--God bless you."
