"P" is prick

In the setup for the Thanksgiving scene, the screenplay describes L.D. Newsome as "Jack's prick of a father-in-law."  [p. 65]

"Q" is quartz

The rocks Earl died on contained quartz.   :'(

Well, we don't want to assume anything here, but I think we can safely say that some of the rocks in BBM were the color of quartz.  Thanks, Juliette, for a good "Q".  (BTW, if you edit your sentence saying that most rocks, not all, contain quartz, you can delete this comment.)

ALL rocks contain quartz and I believed we were given more leeway with these difficult letters like Q.

The original comment was in response to the assumption where Earl died.

Ennis and Jack went on so-called "fishing trips" on a regular basis.

Articles of clothing worn in the movie were purchased at a vintage clothing store in Alberta called Divine Decadence.

When Ennis visited the Twist home and he went up to Jack's childhood bedroom,
"...and hot, afternoon sun pounding through the west window...." [story]

"X" is xonerated
« Reply #2338 on: May 24, 2006, 04:09:29 pm »
None of the four main characters of BBM were xonerated by the end of the movie:
- Ennis lived with the guilt and regret of missing out on a life with Jack;
- Alma let her unhappiness fester for too many years;
- Lureen lost her husband after years in a loveless marriage;
- Jack, well, we all know what happened to Jack.   :'(

"Y" is year-round

Rather than spending a few days a year together, Jack would rather have been with Ennis year-round.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
