"U" is uncaring

During the film's Lightning Flat scenes, viewers get to see Ennis interact with Jack's loving, nurturing mother and his strict, uncaring father.

"W" is wordlessness

Reacting to the sight of the shirts, Heath's Ennis spoke volumes with his wordlessness.

Round 899!


The theme continues.

Each post will include a previously unplayed word and
the first word in each post will begin with the last letter of
the last word in the previous post.  (The post for letter "A"
will begin with the letter "S", the last letter in the "Z" post.)

=request= players
Let's put our heads together and come up
with a really awesome theme for Round 900.
You can PM me suggestions, if you like.

"A" is antibiotics

Seemingly unworried, Jack tried to dab Ennis' wound with his own bandana.
Had the wound got infected, Ennis would have needed antibiotics.

"B" is Bravo

Scenes were edited and some were completely cut when Brokeback Mountain aired on the Bravo Network.

From afterelton.com
Last week we mentioned that the gayest not-gay network on the dial, Bravo, would be airing the network premiere of Brokeback Mountain immediately following the GLAAD Media Awards, and was advertising the combination like a sort of gay "rock block". This savvy programming and promotional one-two sounded encouraging at the time, and one imagined that if anyone were actually going to watch what is soup-to-nuts a thoroughly adult movie on basic cable, that Bravo might be as good a pick as any to do the ritualistic replacement of F-bombs and trims for time.

But things didn't go as smoothly as expected. It seems that, aside from the obvious cuts for profanity, nudity, and gratuitous use of spit-lube, the network's version of the film cut something that had no reason to be censored: namely, a tender kiss between Ennis (Heath Ledger) and Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal).

Fans of the film were incensed at the cut, with message boards ablaze with comments about the edit. Here are some of the more angered responses over on the IMDB boards:  

"I am absolutely disgusted!!! I'd rather they hadn't shown it at all."  

"I'm sure some random 10-year old from Sandusky, Ohio would be more traumatized by watching 5 minutes of The Real Housewives of Orange County than they would by seeing the pup tent scene from BBM."

"C" is Costanzo

Marko Costanzo was the foley artist for Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.

"D" is deferential

Needing to be the stud duck, LD readily accepts Jack's deferential handing over of the carving tools.

"E" is eccentrically

Seated at the Thanksgiving dinner table in the eccentrically furnished Twist dining room were the Newsomes, Jack, Lureen and Bobby.

"F" is frumpiness

Yucky conditions brought on by two small daughters contributed to Alma's frumpiness compared to Lureen's manicured neatness.

"G" is greenlight

Several years would pass before screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana found someone with sufficient courage and passion to greenlight their Brokeback Mountain script.
