Nobody should say (let alone be called) "ouwe gabber", ever! The Flemish are so much wiser than the Dutch, and have a much better way with our language anyway...
I'm glad you like my avatar :D Here's a close-up, though the scan's a bit crooked. This guy has fascinated me ever since I came across him in Avedon's mind-blowing collection "In the American West" (which was used as a visual reference when they made BBM). His name is Richard Wheatcroft, and this portrait was taken in 1983, when he was 27 years old. He owned (probably still owns, in fact) a big ranch in the middle of nowhere on the Montana plains, but his life had been very tough even then, and didn't get any better afterwards. You hardly need to look at him twice to see that he's Ennis, to a tee.

that guy can't be more Ennis, can he? I first saw this picture in a post by casey cornelius over on imdb. I was blown away!
Loved the picture of the waitress too, i forgot her name.
btw (bis) i loooove the screenplay you have made. that must have taken some time to compile. I have only read the first part, but it's great. should finish reading that, but there ain't never enough time, you know.

Glad you like it! You were just in time; by now, the site is down because I exceeded my data transfer limit >:(

steven,
thanks for that.
It makes you wonder if those people know they were the inspiration for the movie.
have you posted the screenplay somewhere else? I'd love to read the end. (als ik efkes tijd heb natuurlijk :))

You don't say ouwe gabber to somebody you sheepherded with in 1963, the same person you started to have sex with during that summer, and the same person you are still heart-crushingly in love with after 4 years of not seeing him.
