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

An excerpt from the Boldtype review of Cowboy Up, a book of photographs by Arthur Frank, who documents the gritty lives of real cowboys:

"Since Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger climbed into their saddles as the lovelorn herdsmen of Brokeback Mountain, cowboy fetishism has returned with a vengeance. Not that it ever died, mind you -- cowboys have always been the quintessential American studs. Icons of freedom, independence, and bravado, they have been used to sell everything from cigarettes to our [previous] president's legitimacy. All of this only distances the image of the cowboy from the dog-tired men and women who actually ride bulls and herd cows for a living."

Michelle Williams began falling for Heath Ledger during an early scene in Brokeback Mountain, where they crashed while tobogganing down a hill. Williams tore a ligament in her knee, an injury Ledger blamed on himself. "I felt I always had to look after her after that," Ledger told Rolling Stone.

Throughout his relationship with Jack, Ennis often found himself in several predicaments, such as: what to tell Alma about his "fishing trips", how to keep his relationship with Jack a secret, and his relationship with Cassie.
