"The Unbearable Lightness and Importance of Being Ennis"

Plot Synopsis:

Jack Twist was a doctor and a man's man in 1960s Czechoslovakia. Now Jack is a pillar of the community in Hertfordshire Wyoming, where he is guardian to Lureen, the pretty, eighteen-year-old granddaughter of the late Thomas Zardoz, who found and adopted Jack Twist when he was a baby.

In Hertfordshire, Jack is a proper man with proper responsibilities: he has a number of servants and other employees all dependent on him. For years, he has also pretended to have an irresponsible black-shepherd brother named Ennis who leads a scandalous life in pursuit of pleasure and is always getting into trouble of a sort that requires Jack to rush to his assistance. In fact, Ennis is merely Jack’s alter-ego that he has invented so he can do socially reckless things while in the city. No one but Jack knows that he himself is Ennis. Ennis is the name Jack goes by in Signal, which is where he really goes on these occasions—to pursue exactly the kind of behavior he pretends to disapprove of in his imaginary brother.

Jack is pretending to be in love with Lureen Fairfax, the cousin of his best friend, Monroe Moncrieff. When the play opens, Monroe, who knows Jack as Ennis, has begun to suspect something, having found an inscription inside Jack’s cigarette case addressed to “Uncle Jack” from someone who refers to herself as “little Alma.” Monroe suspects that Jack may be leading a double life: Ennis in the city; Jack in the country. He calls a person who leads a double life a “Aguirriest,” after a nonexistent friend he has invented, a chronic invalid named Aguirre, to whose deathbed he is forever being summoned whenever he wants to get out and be socially reckless.

Lots of people go in an out of doors and deliver rapid-fire dialogue like:

"What do you think of my harmonica playing, Monroe?"
"I didn't think it polite to listen, Ennis."
"I don't play with accuracy, anyone can play with accuracy, but I do play with wonderful expression."
"Did you see the expression on old Randal's face after he found out his wife died?"
"Yes, poor thing. He looked quite altered. I daresay, Ennis, he looked quite 20 years younger."

There are complications and mistaken identities and the usual hilarities. Eventually, all misunderstandings are straightened out and Jack and Monroe discover their mutual affinity and both end up being named Ennis and get married each other.

Jack, Monroe, and Alma are caught up in the events of the Prague Spring (1968), until the Soviet tanks crush the non-violent rebels; their illusions are shattered and their lives change forever. Jack acknowledges that he now understands “the unbearably light Importance of being Ennis.”

“The Fab and the Furious”

PLOT SYNOPSIS:

It begins with a high-tech CG enhanced action scene where three Appaloosa's execute a high-speed horse-jacking of a truck and cow-trailer, and from there, the action continues with Brokebackin' speed. The film follows heterosexual officer Ennis Delmar as he goes under the covers to infiltrate a horse gang in order to capture the riders of the three wellbred Appaloosas, which have been terrorizing old farm trucks in Signal, Wyoming. The gang is led by a cowboy/rodeo star Jack Twist. Twist immediately takes a liking to Delmar. Twist's right-hand man Joe Aguirre is Delmar's main problem, as he suspects the truth about Delmar's sexual identity from the first. Ennis must put the blocks to Jack as convincingly as possible with Aguirre watching, if Ennis is going to make this bust. Somewhere the lines blur, and Ennis begins to have real feelings for Jack. The sex becomes easier for him, and he finds himself looking forward to his encounters with Jack. Ennis tells Jack that this thing they got going on "is a one shot thing." Ennis now wonders whether or not he might in fact be gay. He finds himself trying to make himself more attractive to Jack by leaving more of his shirt buttons open, and taking the time to shower daily.

Rival gay horse gangs terrorize the community, and Jack Twist needs to teach them all a lesson in manhood by sleeping with each and every one of them. Nuance goes out the window and sex and action scenes are the real stars of the movie. Featuring three race horses and four equally spectacular action sequences, the movie delivers fast and fabulous action from beginning to end.

"The Fab and the Furious" will leave you dazed and breathless, until one day when Ennis must make an arrest.

"The Q-Avengers" - British Cowboy Adventure Series

Excerpts:

"Extra-ordinary crimes against gay people and the state of Homosexual Identitiy have to be avenged by gay agents extra-ordinary. Two such people are Ennis Delmar, top professional, and his partner Mr. Jon Twist, talented amateur.

Together known as "The Q-Avengers"

Scene: Brokeback Automations, Ltd,, London, 1967.

Dr. Douglas Geoffries working late at his laboratory. He wears black rimmed glasses. Upon his lab jacket lapel we see a small pink triangular pin. His lab assistant, Maxx says that it is late and he is going home and that Dr. Geoffries should get some rest. Dr. Geoffries says "See you in the morning" as he continues to make adjustments to a mysterious electronic device which seems to be reacting to some sort of energy surge.

Geoffries is reacting too. He appears to be perspiring profusely. He licks his lips as though he is parched and reaches for a glass that holds his drink. The drink in boiling in the cup and his hand jerks away. There is a loud electronic crashing sound and in a blinding flash, Geoffries falls to the floor. On the floor, Geoffries' clothes lay perfectly pressed, still smouldering from the inside, his body having been reduced to ashes, his glasses are sitting in a pile of smoking dust and ash

Run subtitles: "Q-Factor: Delmar follows a hot lead: Jon gets flamed."

Entering the crime scene, Delmar and Jon have been sent by the Ministry of Queer Defense to investigate. There is a chaulk outline on the floor.

Delmar: "The body was found here Mr. Twist. Pattern as before."
Jon: "Geoffries wasn't the first?"
Demar: "He was the second. That's why we're here. It's all very..."
Jon: "Queer? But It says here in the report ..."
Delmar: "My thoughts precisely."

Enter Geoffries' assistant, Maxx.

Delmar asks Maxx what Geoffries was working and Maxx tells Delmar that Geoffries was working on a project involving advanced coordination of colormetric theory. - an ordinary fashion assisting device to coordinate clothing and personal coloring - nothing sinister in that.

Jon: (Noticing a group photo on the wall) "Is this Dr. Geoffries?"

Maxx says that it is. "It is an old picture. Dr. Geoffries worked for you guys at the Ministry of Queer Defense. This is a group photo of the research team for Project: GAY:DAR.

Jon: "Project: GAY:DAR? That sounds quite intriguing..."

Assistant: "The "Gay Automated Yardstick: Determination and Response." It was an electronic surveillance project designed to electronically and subatomically scan a subject to determine receptivity to homosexual arousal, homophobia, and plot the data according to a homosexual visibility index - a "Q" factor index.

The project overspent its allocation and had absolutely no results to show for it. Dr. Geoffries resigned. I worked for him there and followed him here to this organization."

Delmar: "Can you identify for me the rest of the people in this photoraph?"

Maxx names several people and points to "poor Dr. Parker."
Jon: "Poor Dr. Parker?"

Assistant: "Yes. He died recently - fire in his flat. His body was was almost completely incinerated."

Delmar gives a significant look to Jon: "Dr. Parker was our first 'burn' victim."

Jon: "Delmar, Project: GAY:DAR - what are you thinking?"

Delmar (ominously): "I'm thinking - that someone - has found a rather unusual new use for Project: GAY:DAR..."
