I feel your wistfulness, Scott, having had several threads of my own go down. Just last night I finally deleted the e-mails that linked to several of them, since they led only to blank pages. It makes me really, really sad that some people get a kick out of deleting things just to be mean. :(
Starboard, that's a great observation about Alma, Jr., and Ennis having the same mannerisms in those two scenes. I love it when someone points out a new detail. 8)
I can see why some posters still hang in there at IMDb, and I still get a lot from visiting over there because of their great posts. Something about the layout there is more conducive to serious discussion, I think. Fewer distractions on the page.

I think you are right, Meryl! ;)
About the similarities between the characters, each time I'm more surprised at how very similar Alma Jr's voice is to Alma Sr.. (Kate Mara and Michelle Williams). Maybe it's just me, but there's something about it. The tone, or the pronunciation, intonation.. not sure. And I totally agree on Alma Jr and Ennis! They chose the perfect actress to play Ennis' daughter. She's just perfect!
I'm jealous again..

serious crayons:
You guys got me curious enough to go to the archives and start browsing around, and on the thread about Bookends (started by BetterMost's Amanda), I found a post suggesting something else that corresponds to the Cassie/Alma Jr. scene: Alma Jr. looks away and picks at her Coke bottle, just as when earlier Jack suggests the little cow-and-calf operation, Jack looks away and picks at his beer bottle. Both scenes involve implied or symbolic marriage proposals, and both get rejected.
JennyC:
Talking about deleted thread, Jude, I also missed the one you started about what made people non-homophobic. There was a lot of great sharing on that thread too. Has that thread survived or been saved somewhere?
