After weeks of eating beans, Jack and Ennis really chowed down on the fresh, delicious meat of their illicitly-shot elk.

Intolerance caused the devastation of two young men's lives and tragedy to many more people in the story of Brokeback Mountain.

(Ang) Lee lets the tale unfold in its own time, its own way, and yet the (Brokeback) story never flags, never engages us less than fully, building to a heart-shredding conclusion. Love Story by R Shulman

"An accumulation of very small details give the film its authenticity and authority: Ennis’s dirty fingernails in a love scene…….."
Annie Proulx in “Getting Movied”

Ennis: "I like doin' it with women, yeah, but Jesus H., ain't nothin' like this. I never had no thoughts a doin' it with another guy except I sure wrang it out a hunderd times thinkin' about you. You do it with other guys? Jack?" [story]

Jack weighed up the odds of winning at the rodeo; therefore Lureen and the high-end farm equipment won out.

Scene: Higgins Gift Shop

Ooopz! Our gift store owner Linda Frances Higgins 4got 2 order the BBM postcards. However, she being an A-1 customer service gal -- plus seeing specimen Ennis in her face -- she quickly offered: "Let me get the order list". Once she grabbed her pen, the only question was what color ink did she use, black or blue... or perhaps red... or maybe green.

Glad U took my "ABCz" advice.
A "Lordy Ringer of a Return"!

U were correct about "Meryl & Me".

Pre-Oscar buzz:

"Entertainment Weekly has filed a handy Oscar cheat sheet that's not only going to be useful to office pool bettors, but indicates something unique about this year's contests. A glance at the scorecard gives a good sense of what a juggernaut Brokeback Mountain has become. While that's not unusual in the annals of the Academy Awards -- Titanic and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King were unstoppable -- what is striking is that a small film is dominating the landscape."

-- Scott Bowles and Anthony Breznican, USA Today [article]

Lureen:
"Well, he said (Brokeback) was his place.
I thought he meant to get drunk.
Drink whiskey up there.
He drank a lot."
