"H" is humblest

Larry McMurtry concluded his Oscar acceptance speech by saying, "And finally I’m going to thank all the booksellers of the world. Remember, Brokeback Mountain was a book before it was a movie. From the humblest paperback exchange to the masters of the great bookshops of the world. All are contributors to the survival of the culture of the book."

"I" is inexcusable

L.D.'s inexcusable behavior at Thanksgiving dinner prompted one of the rarest things on record in the Twist family:  Rodeo raising his voice to the Stud Duck.

Between the Signal parting and the reunion kiss was the boys' longest separation.

"M" is mellowest

In one of Ennis's mellowest moments, he embraced Jack from behind, in what came to be known as the "dozy embrace."

"N" is none-too-pleased

The bikers' talk about where "the most pussy's at" put a none-too-pleased look on Alma's face.

When Jack was at his oldest, he overgrew his moustache.

"P" is purest

Ang Lee directed Heath Ledger in his Oscar-nominated role in Brokeback Mountain , where the actor met his ex-girlfriend, Michelle Williams . "Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life,” Lee said in a statement to Usmagazine.com . “He brought to the role of Ennis more than any of us could have imagined - a thirst for life, for love, and for truth, and a vulnerability that made everyone who knew him love him.”

"R" is relying
« Reply #20077 on: July 07, 2009, 07:53:28 pm »
"Brokeback Mountain is one of the most beautifully photographed movies of the year, and Lee knows how to frame shots that exude emotion rather than simply relying on the characters to provide it alone. His contrasts between impossibly romantic Brokeback Mountain panoramas and the colorless earth tones of small-town Wyoming life help the viewer feel what these characters yearn for and what they feel they have to settle for."

The reunion kiss was the strangest thing Alma had ever seen.

"T" is toughest

One of the toughest years for Jack was the year he nearly starved because he only made three thousand dollars rodeoing.
