PERFECT, but...

And Mandy (LG), I agree about "I'm nothin, I'm nowhere." Sorry everyone!

I tell you, I can't speak for anyone else. When I saw the movie for the first time (Christmas week), I knew exactly what those shirts were, and I had no idea about the ending. I knew one of them died, thanks to a friends big mouth, but those shirts blew me away.

Oh, I'm so with you Courtney. I always snap out of the film and think "Jeez, they couldn't find a better take than that?"
Same with the last fight. That fly on Heath's cheek just drives me bonkers. I can't help staring at it. Couldn't they have brushed it out? Even thinking about it now gives me the wiggles.
And that moustache. That goddamn moustache. Really? We have to have it? Arrgh.
I can live without the extra lovin' scenes in the movie, but I am still royally peeved that they didn't include the goodies on the DVD. Sneaky buggers.

I just thought of another one. I'll try not to be too specific because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't noticed it yet. Ever since it was pointed out to me I can't help but be distracted. Hmm, how to put this delicately?
Makeup--campfire.
That's all I'm gonna say about it.

You're right about this part. By now, I can't put myself in the mindset of people coming in cold and not expecting the shirts to be there. But a flashback would be intrusive. So let those people read the short story four or five times, see the movie seven times, watch innumerable YouTube videos that also clearly indicate the origin of the shirts, and go on a message board and discuss the movie for three months or so. They'll figure it out.

It takes a bit of a stretch for anyone who hasn't read the short story to get that Ennis is upset about leaving Jack. You have a reaction shot of Jack's regret, but not Ennis' and it looks like Ennis' reaction comes out of nowhere. You have to really keep the fight on the mountain and Ennis pouting in mind to make sense of that scene.

I don't find that alley scene confusing. But him taking a quick glance at the truck pulling away would be nice!

Interesting... I always thought that line was supposed to sound forced, because he wasn't really angry with Ennis, he was worried sick, he was just trying to sound angry... I think these are even the directions in the story to screenplay book... or maybe it's in the story? I don't know, but I read that somewhere... anyone?
