"P" is pummeled

ine-year-old Ennis was taken by his father to see a horrific sight:  the corpse of a gay man who had been pummeled to a bloody pulp with a tire iron and then dragged around by his penis until it pulled off.

ot able to go along with Jack's dream of a sweet life together, Ennis didn't let his plans go unchecked: "Told you, ain't goin' to be that way."

ot knowing how to respond to Ennis's abrupt leaving with Jack, Alma holds Junior tightly and brushes a wisp of her hair.

Round 934!

We move along along to the letter "O",
"O" as in Oscar!


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



Remember when Ang Lee, Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana,
and Gustavo Santaolalla struck gold at the 78th Academy Awards?


We're going to have some of their Oscar gold
assist us with this round, so please be sure to include
the following symbol at the beginning of each post:

"A" is amateur

wen Glieberman began his written review of Brokeback Mountain for Entertainment Weekly like this:

"Brokeback Mountain is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story. In 1963, Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), a couple of dirt-poor ranch hands, take a job guarding a flock of sheep on Brokeback Mountain, a pristine jutting vista nestled in the lush Wyoming wilderness. Ennis, a crusty, taciturn loner with a scowl that might have been carved into his pale face, and Jack, an amateur rodeo rider who has held on to his optimistic boyishness, are youthful anachronisms, relics of the fading days of the Great Plains culture. But they're still cowboys to the core; they've fallen into this life because it feeds something in them."

ther than their own two hands, the boys didn't bring anything when they applied for the sheepherding job at Aguierre's. No grades, no resumes, no paperwork, no bureaucracy.

ne of the stories that Ennis concocted about Jack and himself was that they were "fishing buddies."
