(It is too late now, but tomorrow I am going to go check and see if I missed anything). I actually saw the whole movie in my mind! I watched it. All of it, I think.

When I first saw the title of this message I thought .... hmmm ... what do you think I can do when the lights go out? (Let me give you a clue ... my boyfriend is in SC, I am in IN ... by myself. I won't explain any further).
Anyway .... yes, I can see the whole film in my mind. I am as obsessed as you ... I have lost count of the times I have watched this and it never gets old. I wish I could slow down, but I just can't give up my "fix" .... my "drug of choice". It doesn't hurt that these two guys are incredibly sexy!

Wow David, you're good! I never thought about replaying the entire movie in my head, even at the midnight hour! I'll have to try it. I think I can do it, too!
I usually just let the visions unfold as they will, and I never quite know which scene will play out and when. I can't help it, but the send night in the tent usually takes hold every night and if it does not keep me awake, will comfort me enough to allow me to sleep. That image of Jack cuddling Ennis, kissing his hair and...oh well, you know... it is so sweet, so sexy, so right! Watching Brokeback from beginning to end in my mind? I can't think of anything more pleasant to fill the ocassional empty hours!

Littlewing - Yes, give it a try sometime! You will probably surprise yourself. It's really cool! :D
I love that second tent scene too. My favorite scene in the movie (and you probably already know because I have said it so many times on IMDb) is when Jack and Ennis are riding side by side on their horses and Ennis looks over to Jack and flashes that beautiful smile. I don't think Jack saw this because he continued to look forward the whole time. But I like to think he caught this smile out of the corner of his eye. I don't know why I love this scene so much. But I do! :)

Hi David925:
I think you have mentioned that scene twice now, in the past couple of days, and I'm still not sure which one you mean... Not the one about playing the harmonica and scarin' off the sheep, no?
Are you speaking of a much later camping trip, when they are riding together and their horses are ever so close, almost touching? Is that the scene?
'Cause in that scene, I love how the horses are justsoclose together, makes me think that they just want to get as close as they can to each other, (Ennis and Jack, not LSP and Cigar Butt ;D) even while out riding. I sure wish Ang Lee hadn't scrimped so much on the tender moments of the later years. That's why I find fanfic such a comfort these days, especially since I am suffering through a viewing embargo of the DVD and of Youtube.
Please let me know will ya, 'cause I don't specifically remember Ennis smiling, and that's just not right.
Jane
