That first summer, an unclad Ennis tempted poor potato-peeling Jack to fall, and hard.

An excerpt from Ratings Debate Peaks Again with 'Brokeback'', an article by Catherine Donaldson-Evans from the fall of 2005:

With a modern-day Shakespearean doomed-love tragedy called "Brokeback Mountain" opening this weekend, the debate over this country's ratings system -- handled by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) -- has once again bubbled over like the witches cauldron in "Macbeth."

The much-blogged-about, critically acclaimed Ang Lee film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger is rated R. But its storyline of two male ranch hands who fall for each other in the early ‘60s and keep their relationship a secret has led some to wonder why the movie didn’t get a more restrictive NC-17.

During the fall of 1977 Jack and L.D. were arguing about watching football while eating turkey, while Fayette, who was no spring chicken, glared at Jack silently.

"F" is fluffy

Clint Morris, a member of the Film Critics Circle of Australia, described Brokeback Mountain as "both a breath of fresh air in a summer full of conventional studio pap and fluffy family fare and a tour de force for its performers who, knock on wood, might have to start pressing their suits in order for the big night at the Kodak Theatre."

In the summer of 1963 Ennis became a "sinner" with a little guidance from Jack.
