"HomoVertiphobiGo"

PLOT SYNOPSIS:

(Agent's note: Stylish Hitchcock rip-off. Right up Brian dePalma's alley.)

After Jack is gone, Ennis has a complete mental breakdown. (Artistically represented by a short clip from the Disney Movie "Fantasia: The Night on Brokeback Mountain." A doctor meets with Ennis to give him his diagnosis: homovertiphobigo - the tendency to experience spatial and temporal distortions when confronted with melancholy, painfully intense, frightening homosexual arousal.

Ennis is in a deep funk, and not even Cassie - who wants Ennis to paint her toenails fire-engine red - can cheer him up. Cassie finally gives up on him.

Ennis returns to Signal and starts visiting the same sites that he and Jack visited: Joe Aguirre's trailor, the little bar down the street--hoping beyond any rational hope that he will see Jack again.

Eventually he sees a gay florist/part-time caterer named Jacques Gyllenhooven with an uncanny resemblance to Jack. Compared to Jack, however, the florist/caterer is much too well dressed, dressing in expensive Pierre Cardin suits and blond, curly, highlighted hair and a full beard.

Ennis asks him out. He buys Jacques clothes like Jack wore (used blue western shirts, a used black Stetson Resistol, used cowboy boots, and worn Wrangler jeans) and urges Jacques to dye his hair black like Jack's. They start visiting areas he and Jack camped together, just as he did with Jack.

Ennis convinces Jacques to shave his beard:

"It would mean a lot to me, Jacques. What could keeping it mean to you?" says Ennis

"Couldn't you love me for who I am, Ennis?" Jacques pleads.

"Just please do it for me, won't you, Jacques?"

Jacques looks uncomfortable but is unable to refuse Ennis. He goes into the bathroom and closes the door. We hear the sound of an electric razor and water running.

Ennis absentmindedly begins to look through Jacques' things as he waits for Jacques to come out of the bathroom after he shaves. On the bedroom bureau, Ennis comes across a small familiar carved animal. He picks it up to inspect it more closely. There is something very, very familiar about it...

It is the same animal Ennis carved in 1963 - a carved animal he gave to Jack!

Eyes widening, Ennis is now fully aware that Jacques/Jack are the same man.

Jack steps out of the bathroom clean shaven, black hair, cowboy shirt, hat, jeans, boots... His hat obscures his eyes. He looks up slowly to meet Ennis's gaze, revealing Jack's silver dollar baby blues...

Outside the room, a green sign light suddenly illuminates Jack.

The transformation is complete!

Ennis can barely breathe as he beholds Jack with a mix of intense sexual desire and unspeakable horror. His mind races as he is left to wonder the purpose of Jack and Joe Aguirre's unholy conspiracy...

The HomoVertiphobiGo returns, rolling over Ennis like sadness over the northern plains...

“Shall We, Dances with Wolves?”

PLOT SYNOPSIS:

1963

Ennis leads a really dull life... his career in shepherding brings him little excitement. He has a lover named Jack, yet he still feels something is missing as he makes the best of a nasty soul-sucking McJob watching stupid Aguirre's sheep on old Brokeback.

One night, on his evening horseback ride back to camp, he looks up to see a beautiful Native American woman standing in the middle of a clearing. Transfixed by her gaze and her ethereal beauty, Ennis impulsively jumps off the horse and signs up for Native American pow-wow dance lessons... and his whole life begins to change. His dance instructor give Ennis a new name: "Dances with Wolves."

Ennis enters world he never knew existed - the over-the-top colorful world of hardcore, competitive, Native American, pow-wow dancing. It's a place filled with grand passions, bitter rivalries, loincloths, feathers, beads, buckskin, great friends and strange couples and it's about to reignite the excitement in Ennis's life - not to mention the lives of his lover Jack, the flock he tends, and his fellow Basques.

Jack wins the approval of the tribe, who recognize the special relationship that Ennis and Jack share. Jack is given a tribal name, "Bettermost Thunder." The movie ends with the two of them sharing a special pow-wow dance celebrating the great god of the forces of nature.

"My Life in Cowboy Clothes"(Ma Vie en Rose stem)

PLOT SYNOPSIS:

Jack Twist is a young boy who can't wait to grow up to be a cowboy. He secretly dresses up in his father's cowboy clothes and watches himself in the mirror as he sings songs by Roy Rogers and Audie Murphy. Jack seems to have a fetish for cowboy boots, jeans, and Stetsons. On hot sunny days while doing chores, he prefers to work shirtless, wearing only jeans, boots, and his hat. Seizing upon a length of rope, shirtless Jack knots it into a lasso, ropes a calf, and yells "yee-HAW!" with no regard to his cleanliness. Needless to say, his mother is absolutely mortified.

When Jack's family discovers Jack's secret cowboy identity fetish they must face their own anger and discomfort and the embarrassment of having the neighbors suspect that Jack is a secret cowboy dresser. Jack is sent to see a doctor at local free clinic in the hopes of fixing whatever is wrong with him. A movie that addresses male identity and bad-taste in clothing-choice issues through the eyes of a innocent child.

“Freaky Friday the 13th, Part III: Jason-Earl takes the Mountain”

PLOT SYNOPSIS:

Friday the 13th, Summer of 1963, Signal

Despite repeated warnings to stay away, a group of teenage cowboys set out to reopen the eerie Camp Silver Springs in the foothills of Brokeback Mountain, which closed 20 years earlier after a series of bizarre and unexplained tire-iron deaths. Now someone in a hockey mask and Stetson hat is lurking in the woods, spying on the Basques, the sheep and the shepherds, the elks, and plotting a gory, grisly revenge on any happy tusslers who would disturb the quiet of the mountain. There is a grisly murder of an innocent sheep after a night of passion, and a stunned Ennis finds the body. And just who is that man watching Jack undress at the creek? Is it Jason-Earl, or Joe Aguirre?

After the tent second tent scene between Jack and Ennis, Jason-Earl chases off the horses, spills the coffee, dumps the soup, conjures up a cute baby bear, and stalks a peeping and terrified Joe Aguirre into the woods. Just as Jason-Earl is about to bring a tire-iron down on Joe Aguirre, Jason-Earl and Joe swap the bodies they inhabit. Joe Aguirre kills Jason-Earl with the tire-iron and now Joe - who inhabits Jason-Earl's body - must figure out how to coordinate his ranger outfits with a hockey mask.
