The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to "A Love That Will Never Grow Old."

Santaolalla's underscore is definitely underplayed in [Brokeback Mountain], although its influence is strong. Its Western simplicity will not turn heads for those orchestral score fans, and Brokeback Mountain is therefore not recommended for that crowd. Santaolalla's ensemble consists of acoustic guitar, slide guitar, and a small string section.  Very minimalistically rendered, Santaolalla returns to the same chord progressions (a theme of sorts) over and over again, never varying the content much but definitely sending us off with an inspiring flourish of this theme in "The Wings" (a highlight cue for the entire year, despite the score's overall shortcomings)      Link

While most of the score is quiet, "The Wings" builds in intensity and in voluminosity.

Since the release of the soundtrack album by Verve Records, three remixes of the Gustavo Santaolalla track "The Wings" have been created and released by Verve on a CD-single.

   1. "The Wings" - Gabriel & Dresden's Organized Nature Remix
   2. "The Wings" - Manny Lehman, Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Collaboration Remix
   3. "The Wings" - Manny Lehman Remix

Gustavo Santaolalla, an Argentine xpatriate now based in California, dedicated his Academy Award for the film score to Brokeback Mountain  to his mother, his country, and to all Latinos.

Round 630!

Let's talk dirty!

The profanity and indelicacy of BBM...

[southendmd]

The "F" word accented Jack's and Ennis's speech in many of its forms:  noun (what the f--- we gonna do now"),  adjective ("of course he hates my f---in' guts"), adverb (" a f---in' real good life"), even compound nouns ("but f----all has worked the way I wanted").

After Alma brought up the subject of "fishing trips", Ennis started bullying her by seizing and twisting her wrist and then speaking profanely when he said: “You fuckin go right ahead. Go on and fuckin yell. I’ll make him eat the fuckin floor and you too.”

[Fran]

Jack reacts to L.D.'s contemptible treatment by stating:  "Now you sit down, you old son of a bitch!  This is my house!  This is my child!  And you're my guest!  So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week...."

Great theme!

Lureen did not come to Jack's defense when the Texan called him a "pissant".
