Monroe is wearing a shirt and tie at Thanksgiving dinner.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

Alma was the unwitting usurper of Jack's place at Ennis's side.

The beans in sauce bubbled viscously in their tins, being heated over an open fire on Brokeback Mountain.

"W" is whiz

"Searing life memories are made for Jack and Ennis.  After their first thrilling, urgent animal coupling, we don’t see much more of their private affections.  The years whiz by in the film’s middle, signaling that nothing will be as special, or as holy, as the idyllic first days of their romance.  We see the evolution of their lives — the comings and goings of girlfriends, marriages, children, and facial hair — but we don’t see what becomes of the physical expression of their love." 
-- Matthew Kennedy, Bright Lights Film Journal   [review]

Several times Jack expressed the fear of ending up as a yardbird.

After the divorce, Alma's sister became Ennis' x-sister-in-law.

Handbag.com’s Celebrity Editor Zoe Drewitt had this to say about the 78th Academy Awards:

"Paul Haggis and Cathy Schulman picked up the surprise Oscar of the night when Crash, a drama about racism in LA, won Best Picture. It beat the favourite, Brokeback Mountain, which is about a gay affair between two cowboys.  However, Brokeback Mountain's Ang Lee did win the Oscar for best director; it was one of three awards the film won that night."

"A" is abstain

Ennis offered to abstain from sex altogether after Alma said she was worried about having another child, implying that he was a poor provider.
