"U" is unassailable
« Reply #20600 on: November 28, 2009, 01:56:23 am »
To Jack's proposal of a sweet life together, Ennis replied from what he considered an unassailable position: "Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead."

Hope you enjoy walking riding like an Egyptian!  ;D

"W" is wrack

Ennis dodged the sweet life with Jack, as he feared wrack and ruin would be the result.

"A" is appeal
« Reply #20603 on: November 29, 2009, 02:35:43 am »
"Lee’s fascinated with people whose desires are thwarted by the strictures of society and the sacrifices demanded by tradition. And, in America, no tradition is more venerable than the notion of the laconic, stalwart western hero, the icon that Jack wishes he were and that Ennis falls to by dint of circumstance. It’s part of Ennis’ appeal to Jack that he embodies the cowboy archetype Jack aspires to."

"B" is Bungalow

Independent travellers who want to camp out under a tarp of stars – the very ones featured in Brokeback – or hike along the precise ridge that swirled with 1000 head of sheep, go two-stepping in the exact cowboy bar where Jack first met Lureen (Anne Hathaway), can follow this self-guided trail......The Brokeback crew stayed at several Calgary hotels, namely the Fairmont Palliser, the Hyatt Regency, the Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire and a boutique property, the Kensington Riverside Inn. Favourite restaurants where the cast was spotted include Catch, the Bungalow and Living Room as well as several uptown bars and clubs along 17 Avenue S.W. Solly claims that producer, Ang Lee, loved Peter's Drive-In best of all, “but that speaks to the fact that his sentimental favourite is Dairy Queen, as this was where Ang had his first North American meal after landing in New York where he studied film, after leaving Taiwan.”

"C" is calves'

When Ennis was performing castration operations, he was removing the calves' testes.  *scrunches up nose like Cassie*

"D" is delectably

Jack and Ennis were coworkers, herding sheep and delectably drinking whiskey together.



(hope I got this right)
