"W" is workmates

Jack and Ennis share some stolen glances, wondering what it will be like to be workmates.

Thank you. It takes practice.

"X" is xpanse

In the opening scene, Jack was surrounded by the xpanse of Wyoming openness, whereas Ennis was surrounded by walls.

"A" is antediluvian

Jack drove into Signal in an antediluvian pickup that had seen many better days.

"B" is buttered

Both Jack and Ennis are ready to follow any directions given to them since they know which side of their bread is buttered.



=comment= Paul
I hear this is a good movie, Lots of buttered popcorn,
a Heath bar, and some of them new Gyllenballs.

"C" is coughs
« Reply #11555 on: March 02, 2007, 01:20:38 am »
ENNIS leans against a dingy trailer house, a crooked sign above the door says FARM AND RANCH EMPLOYMENT AGENCY.  Smokes, waits.  Sees an old pickup with a bad muffler approaching, and ENNIS becomes aware that the muffler is not the pickup's only problem.  It coughs, sputters, rattles from several junctures as it pulls into the gravel parking lot of the AGENCY and dies.  [screenplay]

"D" is droning

Before a single word is spoken, we hear many sounds, especially the constant droning of the wind.

I'll have to try me some of them Gyllenballs at Zodiac tonight. :P

"E" is elusive
« Reply #11557 on: March 02, 2007, 09:33:53 am »
Ang Lee:

Dramatic Core

The dramatic core is finding Brokeback Mountain. It is elusive and romantic. It is something that you keep wanting to go back to -- but probably never will. For Ennis and Jack, it was their taste of love.

Ah - Zodiac Premiere Tonight!
Too bad we can't all squeeze in the tenth row, center.

"F" is flush

EXT:  WYOMING HIGHWAY:  NIGHT (NEAR DAWN):  1963:

A cattle truck, running empty, tops a ridge on a lonely western highway.

To the east, the first faint flush of light. 

Across the plain, perhaps yet some twenty miles away, a sprinkle of lights like fallen stars on the vast dark plain.

The truck roars on.  [screenplay]

"G" is glowing

In the opening seconds, dawn is glowing in the east.  Soon, Jack and Ennis will be glowing at the sight of each other.

=aside= Toast
I was gonna say "G" is Gyllenballs, but thought I'd better not.
Center tenth row sounds good to me.
