What is the reason you chose your Avatar?
« on: May 09, 2006, 11:56:41 am »
I enjoy the little pics people have & sometimes have wondered why they were chosen?  Although I am more of an Ennis, I love Jack's 'effort' with life.

My favorite quote, used by Jack as reassurance to Ennis twice in the film (before the 2nd tent scene & when Ennis collapses during the lake confrontation), is "It's alright; s' alright".

And so, I love the picture of Jack, bruised, somewhat rejected, yet still making an effort by wisfully asking, "You goina do this again next summer?"

How about yours?

I chose this B&W pic of Clint Eastwood because he was the first cowboy I fell in love with.  :)

Mine clearly has nothing to do with brokeback.... I guess I just wanted to display a young sexy david bowie in all of his glory  ::) Ahhh I love me some Bowie....
‘cause the truth is, I already give him everythin’ I got to give, more than I ever even knew I had; ‘n it all for him, all of it, him who is my brother, my father, my child, my friend, my lover, my heart, my soul; my Ennis.

'Cause it's just gorgeous, and so reminiscent of the beginning and ending scenes of the Ennis riding in a truck down the mountain as the sunlight begins to change.

I wanted a picture of Ennis, because I like to see him whenever I can. But I am inept with photo stuff, so when I  finally took the time to figure out how to do an avatar, I just grabbed the first beautiful Ennis picture (redundant phrase!) I could find, which was on a message that Julie posted. There are probably some I would like even better, such as the one in the upper left corner of chefjudy's avatar. But this one was handy and it certainly meets my standards for beauty!
