As a couple, Jack and Ennis were xiles from society.

"Y" is yearner

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop  {Labor Day $ale!}

Ennis yearningly ordered that meaningful card of BBM.  He was yearning for Jack.  Out of eternal love, Ennis understandably became a yearner.  The BBM postcard from the Higgins shop represented those yearnings.

def = one who longs wistfully or sadly; feels tenderness

Joe Aguirre was perusing a 'zine when Jack Twist reappeared in his trailer to look for work on Brokeback.

That's a great and unique round announcement

"C" is corpulence

Joe Aguirre and L.D. Newsome had a figure flaw in common: both tended toward corpulence.

"D" is demonization
« Reply #7007 on: September 03, 2006, 06:11:33 am »
"They kiss. They have sex. They cuddle. Oh my! Not so long ago, it would have been considered career suicide for a major male movie star to get hot and heavy with a man on screen. And in this climate of cultural conservatism, when elections can hinge on the demonization of gay marriage, Brokeback represents a huge gamble for everyone involved."

"E" is ecstasy
« Reply #7008 on: September 03, 2006, 06:17:32 am »
Ennis was nervous and apprehensive anticipating Jack’s arrival after four years, but when he saw him arrive his uneasiness turned to ecstasy.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"F" is fleshed-out
« Reply #7009 on: September 03, 2006, 07:15:48 am »
... Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana magnificently captures these cowboys of few words, opening small moments in Proulx's work into a greater, more fully fleshed-out dramatic whole. Jack, and especially Ennis, don't always express themselves eloquently, but they manage to get their points across.     Love Story by R Shulman
