"N" is nationwide

"Don't look now, but Brokeback Mountain  is selling in the heartland.  The gay cowboy romance, which has been cleaning up in early awards races, was considered a difficult box-office sell nationwide because of its subject matter.  But Brokeback Mountain  is averaging $10,000-plus per screen in such markets as San Antonio, Nashville and Columbus, Ohio, according to Nielsen EDI."

Brokeback Mountain is a place of otherworldliness where anything can happen.

"P" is profound
« Reply #9133 on: December 03, 2006, 07:46:02 pm »
There is a profound ache at the core of Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain -- it's the ache of a powerful love, of a love unable to requite itself, mostly due to circumstances, but largely because of the two people caught up in it. They're men -- cowboys, actually. And their lifelong pine for one another begins one cold night on Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain, where they're employed herding sheep during the summer of 1963.     Love Story by R Shulman

From the trailer for Brokeback Mountain:

"It was a friendship that became a secret."

Do you remember what the "S" was in the Trailer Round?

Actually Fran, "S" is such an easy letter that I had a lot of choices for the trailer round.
However I remember that "B" was for became, using your line
    "It was a friendship that became a secret."
You should have reused the picture in your "S" post.
Mmmmm?   "S" was for ....
  Oh, my favourite picture from the set !!!
"S" is for start

That trailer round seems to get more lovely each time I see it.
I know I should be modest, but ...

=reply= Toast
Thanks for the suggestion (and the link for "start," which saved me a lot of time).  I've added the picture to my "S" post above.
