"Q" is quadrennially

Jack was definitely not content to meet with Ennis quadrennially -- in fact even multiple meetings per year were not enough for Jack Twist.

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

"Like vast clouds of steam from the thermal springs in winter, the years of things unsaid and now unsayable -- admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears -- rose around them."  [story]

After twisting Alma's arm, Ennis departed the kitchen and house, hoping he still had a secret.

Ennis untwisted the cap on a bottle of wine so that he and Alma Jr. could toast her upcoming wedding.

Regarding Brokeback Mountain's losing the Best Picture Oscar to Crash:

     "The shock is perhaps most notably expressed by the LA Times film critic Kenneth Turan who berated Academy voters in a major article in Monday's paper.  'In the privacy of the voting booth, as many political candidates who've led in polls only to lose elections have found out, people are free to act out the unspoken fears and unconscious prejudices that they would never breathe to another soul, or, likely, acknowledge to themselves,' he wrote.  'And at least this year, that acting out doomed Brokeback Mountain.'
     "Others report widespread distaste for Brokeback among the Academy's older members, a distaste expressed by Tony Curtis, who told Fox News that he would not even see the film before voting against it.  The New York Times on Monday quoted an attendee at an Oscar party who noted, without irony, that older Academy voters opposed Brokeback Mountain because it 'diminished' cowboys as iconic figures in movies.  (Remarks like that suggest that the branding of Brokeback Mountain as a 'gay cowboy' film, and the attendant jokes from late-night comics, defined the movie as something other than a serious cry from the heart.)"
-- Gregory King, Independent Gay Forum

In the apple-pie-bus-station scene, Ennis was xcising himself from the Cassie situation.

"Y" is yessiree

"Yessiree, this is the kinda movie that has 'Oscar' branded into it -- a western epic with dramatic backdrop… and a twist.  There ain't many Hollywood romances where both lovers constantly need a shave, but the scenery sure looks good."
-- Elliott Noble, Sky Movies
