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

[Fran]

An excerpt from an interview of Michelle Williams by Daniel Robert Epstein for UGO Entertainment:

UGO:  Why do you think [Alma] took so long to leave her husband after she found out about his secret relationship?

MICHELLE:  She's from a generation where nobody got a divorce, especially not in that town. What allowed her to finally get herself free of the relationship was that she found this other man, Monroe. I think a lot of it was a financial decision. She couldn't leave Ennis and support two daughters by herself. Monroe is safe and soft and would never hurt her the way that she had been hurt, plus he would provide for her family. She gets out of it but just barely. I think she's a miserable, broken, uglier woman for it, she just barely got out. She's not happy about it, she'll always love Ennis.

Jack was trying to reassure Ennis in TS2 by letting him know that everything would be okay, when he whispered "s'alright, s'alright."

Round 813!

Another Music Round!

Post an unplayed word,
along with a song title that somehow relates to our BBM

When the boys parted in Signal, Ennis said, "Guess I'll see you around", aka "adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen".

Based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx, Brokeback Mountain was adapted for the screen by the team of Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.

Whether Jack was or wasn't with Ennis, he constantly thought about him.

If Jack gave an offering of whiskey, Ennis would answer, "danke schoen".

By choosing roles in edgier films like Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, Anne Hathaway was able to break away from her "Disney princess" image.

I watch the distant lights along the runway
Disappear into the evening sky
Oh, you know I'm with you on your journey
Never could say goodbye.

It's not the sun you're trying to find
Something else is on your mind
You need a little space and time to break away
It's not the place you're going to
It's just a phase you're going through
Though I won't stop you, I don't want you to...

Break away, fly across your ocean
Break away, time has come for you
Break away, fly across your ocean
Break away, time has come...

For you to waken in another country
Greet the morning under foreign skies
Leaving me to face another Monday
It's not easy to get by....

At first Ennis states “You know I ain’t queer” after they have made love for the first time, and Jack replies the same, but this is because of how frustrated and terrified the two are at what has occurred. Jack wants the two of them have a good life together, and he becomes fearless as to the consequences. Jack is a gregarious individual who is more disposed to acknowledge that he is gay. He marries Lureen, and starts a family with her, but he refuses to deny that he needs the companionship of a male. Jake Gyllenhaal blows his performance in Jarhead right out of the desert. As the audience watches the two men age, it is apparent that Gyllenhaal’s progression from a young rodeo cowboy to a middle-aged farm equipment seller is especially fascinating and genuine. When Jack says ”You have no idea how bad it gets”, he is referring to how much he misses Ennis. Unlike Ennis, he is not afraid to vocalize his feelings, and a sentence like that can apply to any relationship. Any person that has been in a long distance relationship will be able to relate to that very line.

Late, one Juarez evening, Jack, on the prowl, thought, "gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight".
