Ennis and Jack came to Aguirre's trailer looking for gainful employment.

A freezing night provides the impetus for Jack and Ennis to spend the night huddled together.

"I" is impressed

Joe Aguirre was not impressed with the work the lads did that summer, especially because the count was wrong and there were sheep in the herd they didn't take up to the mountain to begin with.

Ennis's world was suddenly out of kilter after Jack drove away.

"L" is long-houred

Another reason that Alma ultimately had to and did leave Ennis is that, besides low-esteem and low-paying, he longed for long-houred jobs -- keeping him away from home, the wife and the kids much too much.

Ennis had a mind-boggling reaction to the sex in the first tent scene.

Ennis's nemesis was himself.

It took Alma years after witnessing that kiss to express her hurt and outrage to Ennis.

"P" is Peroni

Here's more evidence that the "ABCs of BBM" could go to 200 rounds!!

BBM the film was "dedicated" by the producers, director, et al. -- yet heretofore not mentioned (except for the first name) at the "ABCs" -- to:  Geraldine Peroni, the original BBM Film Editor.  (A major film dedication is "a big thing".)

Very sadly, "Geri" died at a young age (51) before the BBM was completed.  Geri lived with her female lover in the East Village of Manhattan, New York!  Yes, Geri was also Gay!


=aside= Sandy & Toast
I got the "P" this go 'round!!
(Memento was out jogging.)
