"H" is huffy

Singled out by Alma for his extramarital extracurricular extra-Jackular activity, Ennis became a tad huffy and exited the premises forthwith.

"I" is internalizes

Heath Ledger is especially impressive in the role of Ennis del Mar, an inarticulate man who internalizes his feelings.

"L" is lumbering

Surprised enroute to camp by ursine caterwauling, Ennis was forced to engage in a lumbering pursuit of his equally surprised pack animals who had decided a hasty retreat was in order.

"M" is mid-smooch

Regarding her husband in mid-smooch with his pulchritudinous cowboy paramour, Alma stood transfixed for an instant before retreating into their modest dwelling

"N" is neophobic

Given Ennis's neophobic nature, he performed outstandingly at something very new in Tent Scene One.

def: a tendency to dislike anything new; fear of novelty

"O" is outsize

Ennis tells Jack about the outsize coyote he shot:  "Big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples.  Looked like he could eat a camel."

"P" is parachute

"Looking across a great gulf, Ennis sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow as an insect moves across a tablecloth", Annie Proulx writes, and that's what we see in the movie. But in reality, that mountain side is so steep, it's only accessible by parachute.

"R" is releasing
« Reply #21567 on: January 17, 2011, 04:10:15 pm »
Ennis, who is engaged to be married, seems truly naive with respect to Jack's intentions as well as his own responses, yet eventually responds to Jack, releasing his own loneliness, fear and pent-up rage into an almost violent physical passion. Over the summer the two increasingly give in to their passion for one another, building a life-long bond. Both men eventually come to acknowledge and understand the irrevocability of their bond, even if they do not both entirely accept it.

"S" is sweetened

The cold air sweetened, banded pebbles and crumbs of soil cast sudden pencil-long shadows and the rearing lodgepole pines below them massed in slabs of somber malachite.

"T" is tongues

Ennis' and Jack's reunion kiss was something else, almost violent and including lips, teeth and tongues.
