"Z" is zeitgeist-inspiring

Joe Reed of the Film Experience talks about the best movies of 2005. "In the end, I chose the boozy human comedy of The Upside of Anger, the expertly paced and idea-packed A History of Violence, the personal-as-political Munich, the political-as-personal Constant Gardener, and finally the zeitgeist-inspiring Brokeback Mountain.
The Best: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN"  Link

"A" is already
« Reply #7922 on: October 20, 2006, 09:55:24 am »
In the short story, Ennis was already in the tent when Jack said "Jesus Christ, quit hammerin and get over here. Bedroll's big enough,"
Annie Proulx added:  "It was big enough, warm enough, and in a little while they deepened their intimacy considerably."

"The minutes ticked by from the round watch in Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals.  Stars bit through the wavy heat layers above the fire.  Ennis's breath came slow and quiet...."  [story]

"D" is downsides

Ennis realized that one of the downsides of leaving Brokeback was that he probably would never see Jack again.

"F" is fodder

Aguirre made it clear to Jack Twist that he could find better fodder for his sheepherding business in 1964.

def. - people considered as readily available and of little value

Jack was more of a gourmand than Ennis:  Jack perferred wild game to canned beans.  Mmm.
