arking the difficulties and hardships of their 20 years long relationship, Ang Lee shows us scenes with Ennis and Jack fighting, riding, talking, as well as a scene with them peacefully asleep in the tent.

"R" is roiled

aking light of Ennis's objections, the two bikers foolishly continued to make slopbucket-mouthed comments while he sat and roiled with anger.

"S" is surface-level

ark Caro of the Chicago Tribune wrote:

"The film that I've heard -- and felt -- the most enthusiasm for is Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, which won the Venice Film Festival's top Golden Lion prize over the weekend. Lee is a master of conveying repressed emotions in a way that nonetheless moves audiences, as he does to great effect with two cowboys (Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger) who must hide their intense muual love as they carry on with their surface-level conventional lives. Lee doesn't dictate how an audience should feel; he just presents the characters in such a real, human way that the men and women, heterosexual or otherwise, share the agony of their self-denial."

Toronto film festival offers great diversity

"U" is underdrawers

umbling the response "it's all yours" with eyes averted, Jack was very aware that Ennis wasn't wearin' no underdrawers when Ennis stripped down to wash up, and nonchalantly asked if Jack wanted some of the hot water for himself.

Round 933!

We redline it to the Motel Siesta letter .

Each post will begin with a word
that starts with the letter "N" and,
as usual, include an unplayed word.


They went off in Jack's truck, bought a bottle of whiskey and within
twenty minutes were in the Motel Siesta jouncing a bed.

We're going to have the "N" from the red neon "VACANCY" sign
at the Motel Siesta assist us with this round, so please be sure
to include the following symbol at the beginning of your post:
