What do you think is the significance that in Annie Proulx's story, Ennis notifies Jack of his divorce by phone (the ONLY time they ever spoke on the phone), but in the movie, Ennis informs Jack of the divorce by post card?! ;D

Well, the movie has more love scenes, but the book has more sex, so...
Phone - sex; mail - love?
Don't ask me what text messaging is...

I bow to the wisdom of the Mel-o-Tron!! ;D Thank you!
Oh...just thought of another phone reference. When Cassie said she left message for Ennis with Steve at the ranch, I assume she is talking about phone messages. But Ennis ignored the messages, so in this case....
phone = no sex
Hmmm, an exception to the rule....we can call it the Cassie Corollary!

Sorry to interupt this call, but what about them bottles? Have you counted the number of times we see bottles. It's mostly Jack who holds them (*he drank a lot*.. :( ). At the beginning it's each their own (but Jack's the drinker - how many bottles are there on the table next to him in the first café they go to - *if we are working together, we may aswell drink together*, whereas there's only one next to Ennis). But Jack's willing to share his beverage and then they even start drinking from the same bottle. Towards the end it's each their own again..
Many times you see the bottle distinctively 'highlighted' by light - I always wondered whether that was done on purpose..

Well dang it if you didn't make me laugh out loud! Brilliant and discerning use of screen caps to go with those lines, David. :laugh:
