I feel your wistfulness, Scott, having had several threads of my own go down.  Just last night I finally deleted the e-mails that linked to several of them, since they led only to blank pages.   It makes me really, really sad that some people get a kick out of deleting things just to be mean.  :(

Starboard, that's a great observation about Alma, Jr., and Ennis having the same mannerisms in those two scenes.  I love it when someone points out a new detail.   8)

I can see why some posters still hang in there at IMDb, and I still get a lot from visiting over there because of their great posts.  Something about the layout there is more conducive to serious discussion, I think.  Fewer distractions on the page.

I think you are right, Meryl!  ;)

About the similarities between the characters, each time I'm more surprised at how very similar Alma Jr's voice is to Alma Sr.. (Kate Mara and Michelle Williams). Maybe it's just me, but there's something about it. The tone, or the pronunciation, intonation.. not sure. And I totally agree on Alma Jr and Ennis! They chose the perfect actress to play Ennis' daughter. She's just perfect!

I'm jealous again..

You guys got me curious enough to go to the archives and start browsing around, and on the thread about Bookends (started by BetterMost's Amanda), I found a post suggesting something else that corresponds to the Cassie/Alma Jr. scene: Alma Jr. looks away and picks at her Coke bottle, just as when earlier Jack suggests the little cow-and-calf operation, Jack looks away and picks at his beer bottle. Both scenes involve implied or symbolic marriage proposals, and both get rejected.

Talking about deleted thread, Jude, I also missed the one you started about what made people non-homophobic.  There was a lot of great sharing on that thread too.  Has that thread survived or been saved somewhere?

Really...saved? That's wonderful! You just brightened my day, starboardlight. Thank you for having the foresight to do that. So very many of our threads have been consigned to oblivion, and here I thought this one had likewise bit the dust. Again, many thanks!

 :)
Scott

yeah, i saved it to my server. here's the link. I saved it back in march, so some of the newer posts on there didn't make it.

Hey Scott,

I am just skimming this great thread while I'm a work...and so maybe this was posted earlier but the thread you mention is saved on the archive, with entried up through April 16th, It's the first one under the category "BROKIES: Impact" (which is a considerable way down the list of categories, after all the actors, scenes, characters, etc.). I assume you have the link to the archive now (to be kept very confidential within this site only!) but here it is again:

http://www.geocities.com/bbmarchive

We are still slowly working on the archive, littledarlin and me, when we aren't up half the night checkin for coyotes, and commutin four hours a day.  ;) ;D

Really???!!!  That would be awesome!  Don’t tell me you can not find it, now you get my hope up :).  If you do find it, can you send the thread to me, or maybe repost it either here or on the website NY Jenny listed in her post?  Thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much, JudeW and starboardlight, for your archiving initiative and foresight, and for the helpful links. This really means so much to me that this early thread of mine so precious to me still lives in some form.
