LOL, Ronny.  Too bad they didn't have an episode where they all broke out in song, like "Once More, with Feeling"!

"A" is assertion

In March of 2006, actor Randy Quaid filed a lawsuit against Focus Features and the producers of Brokeback Mountain, claiming he was fleeced into working cheaply by the filmmakers' assertion that the film was "a low-budget, art-house film, with no prospect of making any money."   (The lawsuit was subsequently dropped.)

Thanks!  I hadn't realized that we'd been
posting the symbol rounds since January!

Thanks for joining us.  Hope you have as
much fun with this as I do.

=aside= All Players
I'm currently out of ideas for rounds, so I
went with one of our past favorites.
:)

"B" is beliefs

Jack stuck to his beliefs, including his assertion to Ennis that "no one's gonna love you more than I do".

"C" is captured

Long after Alma realized that Jack had captured Ennis' heart, she decided to wise up by divorcing Ennis and marrying Monroe.

Alma, a Riverton divorcée, was only alone for a short time before she remarried.

"E" is enormously

Ennis was enormously threatened to hear that Jack had sought sexual consolation south of the border.

"F" is fluke

Ennis initially thought that what happened in TS1 was a fluke, nothing more than a one-night stand.

"G" is genre-hopping
« Reply #21259 on: July 20, 2010, 12:10:07 am »
"Ang Lee is already well known as an eclectic film maker. From Sense and Sensibility to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and on to Hulk, the Taiwanese director has spent his directing career genre-hopping to his heart's content, setting himself up as the foreign observer of other people's stories. With its innovative stop-motion technology, Crouching Tiger gathered up fistfuls of awards, but his perfectly paced Brokeback Mountain is, in its way, every bit as deserving of plaudits."
