"He could smell Jack  - the intensely familiar odor of cigarettes, musky sweat and a faint sweetness  like grass"

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mind
Every time I think of him
I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine....

Ascending from plains where they lead lives of drudgery and routine humiliation, Ennis and Jack become the unwitting heroes of a story they haven't a clue how to tell.     Men in Love - A Brokeback Review by David Leavitt

"Jack turns down an alley.  Men line walls on each side.  Direct looks.  A handsome young Mexican, masculine, dressed for a night out, makes eye contact with Jack -- gives him a knowing, seductive look."  [screenplay]

"Y" is yeti

Wrapped in a blanket and groaning, Ennis very much resembled a yeti as he stumbled about in the first deep snow of autumn.


Def. Yeti = Abominable snowman  ;)

"Z" is zephyr-swept
« Reply #5667 on: August 05, 2006, 08:42:22 pm »
"After four years apart, Jack returns to Ennis' small town of Riverton, Wyoming. Their still-smoldering passion flares like a zephyr-swept campfire. They stoke these flames during periodic 'fishing trips' where their rods and reels stay untouched."
                                              -- Deroy Murdock, The Indianapolis Star, February 6, 2006.
