The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

When Jack and Ennis first met on Brokeback, they were both fit as a fiddle.

Joseph Aguirre treated Jack and Ennis as though they were as gullible as little boys.

"...when the bubble of Jack and Ennis' love is eventually punctured, the weight of the comedown feels inextricably time-bound.  The ache of the film creeps up on you, and like the players in its romance, you'll only feel its true impact when all hope is beyond lost."

When LaShawn said to Lureen: "When I was right out of SMU I coulda had
my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas. So my pick was Neiman Marcus...", it was as if she was trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Ennis lissomely kicked biker number one like a bat out of hell.

"(Heath Ledger) physicalizes Ennis' inability to express, or even understand, what is happening to him; as the movie goes on, his body contracts like a muscle, until it -- like his world -- begins to collapse on itself."

"So why haven't you seen Brokeback Mountain yet? The Brokeback Mountain  phenomenon has become as unavoidable as a military recruiter at a continuation school.  You can't turn on the television without seeing a gay cowboy, every theater seems to be playing the picture, and each day seems to bring a new shopping cart full of awards for the movie -- including eight Oscar nominations this week.  It's hard to find a straight man who has seen the movie and regrets it."
