BBM has been called a western with a twist.

Seeing her husband driving off with Jack, Alma was reduced to utter despair.

125 EXT: RIV2RT0N, WYOMING: DRIVE-IN: NIGHT:
ENNIS and CASSIE sit in ENNIS'S truck, trying to watch THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
CASSIE is rapt, eats popcorn, swigs cheap white wine from a bottle between her knees, despite a violent wind storm that has come up, blowing trash and dust into the windshield. The sound from old window-mounted speaker is barely audible over the windstorm. The wind is blowing dust so high into the air that the screen is partially obscured.
ENNIS We ought get our money back.
CASSIE (hits him on the shoulder) Hush up, Ennis, this is important. He's learnin' how to be a Jedi knight.
ENNIS tries to step the blowing dust from entering his truck cab, tucks an old flannel shirt in the crack created by the drive-in movie speaker.
ENNIS My truck's fillin' with dust.
CASSIE (rapt) Shhhhi , Turn up the volume.
ENNIS (fiddling with the speaker) Up as high as it'll go.
A strong gust of wind carries a big panel of the screen away, leaving a rectangular hole in Luke Skywalker's face. Suddenly, ENNIS rolls down his window just enough to unhook the speaker and throw it out into the dirt. He drives off.

[screenplay]

I couldn't resist posting the whole scene - That's some high-class entertainment.

A woodpile is conveniently located just outside the door to the elder Twists' house.

Jack and Ennis xchanged their roles and duties on the mountain.

Before Lureen came over to talk to him at the bar, Jack could feel her eyes zeroing in on him.

Jack said his father had been a pretty well known bullrider years back but kept his secrets to himself, never gave Jack a word of advice, never came once to see Jack ride, though he had put him on the woolies when he was a little kid.

"You gotta xtra blanket, I'll just roll up here and catch 40 winks," Ennis said.
