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

[Fran]

Invariably in every interview, [Heath] Ledger would be asked what it was like to "play" gay. I remember thinking at the time that his answers were amazingly mature for a straight man in his mid-20's.

In an interview with The Windy City Times, when asked about kissing another man, Ledger replied, "I know how to love someone, and I know how to kiss someone, so it's quite simple, you just do the same thing. That's the point, isn't it? It's not really different -- you're still doing the exact same thing."

And when told he was brave and courageous for playing a gay role, he responded, "No, it's brave to be a firefighter, it's courageous to be an NYPD officer. I'm an actor; I'm observing, investigating and portraying a form of love and life."

JACK and ENNIS'S herd of sheep, reconstituted as best they can, moves along the high treeless slope of Brokeback Mountain, kept in order and in motion by the dogs.

Ennis shouted after her, but Alma was determined to take that extra shift.

At the benefit dance, Lureen was touting her membership in Kappa Phi (and not Tri Delt).

"Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain, based on a short story by Annie Proulx and in a slowly expanding release around the country, is the critical favorite for 2005.  About the star-crossed love between Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), which begins in the summer of 1963 as they tend sheep together on Brokeback Mountain, equally fawning critics can’t seem to decide whether it’s a gay-cowboy flick or a universal study in thwarted love.  The marketing has been aimed heavily at women; some men, viewing the film in George Costanza mode, may find themselves instinctively reassuring others of their unblemished records of staunch heterosexuality."

Alma's kitchen outing of Ennis prompted his walkout of the Thanksgiving gathering.

When questioned by Ennis, Jack angrily admits that he had gone over the border to Mexico: "Hell yes, I been.  Where's the fuckin' problem?"

Very nice round announcement.
