The Brokie Connection (a game)

Elle, you started the game. Feel free to set the rules differently.

I agree, Ch. It's fun to see the different paths people take to make a connection.

The Sahara Hotel, named after the Sahara Desert, is the only remaining hotel in Las Vegas that hosted the Rat Pack. Dean Martin was a member of the Rat Pack. Dean Martin's show-biz persona was a heavy drinker. Jack, as Lureen explained on the phone to Ennis, drank a lot. Thus, The Sahara Desert is Brokieish.
Next: The Rorschach test.
P.S. What a fun game, C! Thanks for starting it.
Penthesilea:
The Rorschach Test is Brokieish, because the images are mirrored ink-blots. Our movie has tons of examples where it is build just like that, its structure is ink-blot like and many scenes mirror another.
Next: Phil Collins
BayCityJohn:
Phil Collins was in the group 'Genesis'
Jack and Ennis' time on Brokeback has been compared to the creation myth in the Book of Genesis.
Phil Collins is sooooo Brokeish.
Next: Citizen Kane
BayCityJohn:
“In 1938, a young Orson Welles makes history when he performs a radio play he wrote based on Brokeback Mountain. His use of voices and sound effects is so convincing, thousands of listeners actually believe they are hearing two cowboys falling in love. Legend has it that dozens of people committed suicide fearing a wave of gay cowboyism. Three years later, Welles and his cowriter Herman Mankiewicz work a Brokeback Mountain joke into Citizen Kane but RKO insists that their reference to ‘stemming the rose’ be changed to ‘rosebud.’” ...
;D
Next: Cranberries

Good one, BCJ!

A 2003 album by the rock band the Cranberries is titled Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. Coffee pots are an important symbol in BBM, and the substance itself is invoked in an important scene. Because the Cranberries are from Ireland, not Texas, they probably even drink coffee. Thus, Cranberries are Brokieish.
