Sorry, I guess I should have offered "completely spelled out" as an option. I do figure that some scenes referred to a lot the deserve a shorthand -- especially since everyone here is so familiar with the movie (and some of us are especially familiar with those two scenes!  ::)).

In saving my photos, I used (spontaneously,  1T1002, 2T001, cmer. 1T3001 I think the DC terminology (FNIT, SNIT) is the clearest. These are just the order i saved them in, and make sense only to me, here presented in chronological order of events. cmer blows up real nice. Well, they're not in chronological order anymore, cause i was trying to figure iout what happpoened to Jack in 1T3001--and I can't figure out where he went. He used to be there...

Here're my pics--look at letters under them (I know the pics are familiar to all.
But click to enlarge if ya wanna.

I assume they are First Night in Tent (FNIT) and Second Night in Tent (SNIT).  Please correct me if it's wrong.

Jenny -

That makes sense to me. Thanks for explaining it! :)

It's amazing how after a day (many days!) of endlessly discussing the most detailed aspects of the film in an abstract or analytical way, those photos remind me of the actual concrete movie and are still so thrilling! Even the one that I use as my avatar and therefore see dozens of times a day.

Agreed, in the awesomeness of these photos. It's so nice to see them right in a row like that. I guess b/c of my IMDb "upbringing," I'll always think of them as first tent scene and second tent scene, but I can go with the shorthand TS1 and TS2. The other acronynms are strange to me, and I really don't like them, actually.

FNIT and SNIT just make me think of the phrase "snit fit."  :laugh:

I agree that "FTS" and "STS" don't look right.

Amanda, reading the above, first I gave a small, Ennis-like smile of recognition at the Brokieism used, then realized that "don't" now feels weird as a plural in that usage.  :)

LOL, yup, I was aware of the Brokieism hidden in that sentence as I was writing it... even if it is the correct plural in that case.  Funny how Brokieisms are so often linked to wacky grammar.

That's why it's so difficult to slip them into ordinary conversation. I have far less problem with the swear words (for some reason, nobody seems too surprised by that  ::)). But when I use "ain't," or don't match my subject and verb, or say "them days," I feel about as natural as I would wearing a cowboy hat. And boots. And a Wrangler shirt.  And carrying a 30-30.

But their subversiveness is part of the fun, hunh?
