"A" is answer

Ennis hoped that the returned postcard was a mistake and that Jack would answer the phone.  Instead, Lureen told him the terrible news.


Round 100!!!!!!!!!

"B" is beguiled
« Reply #2772 on: June 01, 2006, 06:15:05 pm »
Annie Proulx's says Brokeback is a story of two confused boys "beguiled by the cowboy myth." It is a myth shaped as much by Hollywood as history, which is why when Ennis pushes his Stetson down to obscure his face, the gesture recalls nothing so much as James Dean pushing down his Stetson in the epic 1956 western "Giant."

"C" is crazed

Ennis was crazed with desire when he pushed Jack up against the wall.

D is for "dire"

Ennis learned earlier on that there are dire consequences to being found out as gay.

"E" is east

While Jack and Ennis were getting reacquainted at the Motel Siesta, "thunder sounded far to the east, moving from them in its red wreaths of light." [short story]

Alma’s face looked woeful upon seeing Ennis and Jack kissing.

"H" is handsome

Ennis and Jack are two mighty handsome men, and I doubt anyone here would disagree.

And as for our landmark 100 rounds, what else can I say that hasn't been said?  So...

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ABCs PLAYERZ!!!!!
And of course to our finest modz Fran-E, Sand-E and the honorable Mayor Will-E

A groundbreaking tribute to a groundbreaking film!!!!  Most appropriate.

Remember our days in infancy back at IMDb, when the first 36 seemed like so many?

"I" is insolent

L.D. Newsome generally behaved in an insolent manner toward Jack.
