"P" is performances

ueried by the Associated Press about the performances of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain, Annie Proulx was very complimentary, saying:

"I thought they were magnificent, both of them. Jake Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist...wasn't the Jack Twist that I had in mind when I wrote this story. The Jack that I saw was jumpier, homely. But Gyllenhaal's sensitivity and subtleness in this role is just huge. The scenes he's in have a kind of quicksilver feel to them. Heath Ledger is just almost really beyond description as far as I'm concerned. He got inside the story more deeply than I did. All that thinking about the character of Ennis that was so hard for me to get, Ledger just was there. He did indeed move inside the skin of the character, not just in the shirt but inside the person. It was remarkable."

uerying Ma Twist's religiosity, Ennis asks Jack, "What exactly is the Pentecost?  My folks--they was Methodist."

uietly thoughtful, Mrs. Twist was the exact opposite of her loud, obnoxious husband.

uarreling between Jack and Ennis began to heat up when Jack revealed he'd been to Mexico an undetermined number of times.

Round 873!

We move along to the letter "R".

Each post will begin with a word that starts
with the letter "R" and include an unplayed word.


Ennis ran full throttle on all roads whether fence mending or money spending, and
he wanted none of it when Jack seized his left hand and brought it to his erect cock.


Ennis's left hand will assist us with this round,
so please be sure to include the following symbol
at the beginning of your post:
