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

Ennis' marriage to Alma bottoms out because of his inattentiveness, never taking a vacation with her and the girls, and doing "what she hated".

The first time Diana Ossana saw Brokeback Mountain  in finished form up on the big screen was when she and a group of close friends and family attended a private screening of the film at The Loft Cinema in Tucson a year after shooting was over.

Ennis managed to do some  moistening, with the help of a little spit and the clear slick.

Because Ennis found the environment on Brokeback to be nonthreatening, he was able to open up and talk about himself, remarking: "... that's the most I've spoke in a year."

The death of "Brokeback Mountain" star Heath Ledger on January 22, 2008, drew outpourings of grief from New York to Hollywood to Perth.

By neglecting her, Ennis stopped pretending with Cassie--he got his message across.

Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal both turn in career best performances, but it is Ledger who will probably garner the most at tention and may earn himself a gold trophy. His turn as Ennis is resolute and realistic. He captures the humble Ennis with grace, particularly in a scene when his character chooses to try and distance himself more and more from Jack. Gyllenhaal is just as impressive in his transformation, with it all coming together in a heartbreaking monologue late in the film. Magnificent supporting work is turned in by Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, with Williams emerging as a true dramatic force.

So now he knew it had been the tire iron. He stood up, said, you bet he'd like to see Jack's room, recalled one of Jack's stories about this old man. Jack was dick-clipped and the old man was not; it bothered the son who had discovered the anatomical disconformity during a hard scene. He had been about three or four, he said, always late getting to the toilet, struggling with buttons, the seat, the height of the thing and often as not left the surroundings sprinkled down. The old man blew up about it and this one time worked into a crazy rage. The old man blew up about it and this one time worked into a crazy rage. "Christ, he licked the stuffin out a me, knocked me down on the bathroom floor, whipped me with his belt. I thought he was killin me. Then he says, 'You want a know what it's like with piss all over the place? I'll learn you,' and he pulls it out and lets go all over me, soaked me, then he throws a towel at me and makes me mop up the floor, take my clothes off and warsh them in the bathtub, warsh out the towel, I'm bawlin and blubberin. But while he was hosin me down I seen he had some extra material that I was missin. I seen they'd cut me different like you'd crop a ear or scorch a brand. No way to get it right with him after that."

In the dozy embrace scene, Ennis tightens his tough yet tender hold on Jack.
