There's what appears to be a gadfly on Ennis' face during the lake scene when he threatens Jack with the "All them things I don't know..." line. That fly drives me nuts!!!

Both Ennis and Jack were handy men to have around (Shades of James Taylor's Handyman!!)

The prominent Wall Street Journal's Michael Knight wrote in praise of author Annie Proulx:
"Miss Proulx writes with all the brutal beauty of one of her Wyoming snowstorms."

In fact, the publishers of BBM liked the quote of the Knight so much, they included it in the preface of "Brokeback Mountain" the short story.

Ennis to Alma Jr.: "This Kurt fella, does he love you?"

Ennis had a monkey on his back when it came to his sexuality.

To quote my favorite George Michael song, "[Ennis] why can't you do it, why can't you set your monkey free?"

Holy crap! 115 rounds before the BIG L-word gets played! That's what the whole movie is about, and we missed it until now. Apparently it's as hard for us to say as it was for Ennis. You hit the jackpot on that one!

E. Annie Proulx was born in Norwich, Connecticut.

"There were only the two of them on the mountain flying in the euphoric, bitter air, looking down on the hawk's back and the crawling lights of vehicles on the plain below, suspended above ordinary affairs and distant from tame ranch dogs barking in the dark hours." [short story]
