Jack and Ennis were outlaws, escaping matrimonial law for a while.

"F" is frustration

"Jack dreams of buying a ranch together.  Ennis thinks they'll be killed if anyone suspects their relationship.  And so they marry women and have children, and for 20 years live apart, seeing each other only on rare camping trips, trying to hold on to the innocence and beauty of that first summer on the mountain.  Inevitably, the longing and frustration, the years of repression, lead to a devastating conclusion."
-- Sean Smith, Newsweek

Jack grabbled his way through that evening in the backseat.

Lureen's brassiere removal was purely intentional.

"J" is jape

Jack's rodeo-mimicking antics proved a delightful jape for both men's amusement.

Jack gave Lureen some kissy face, among other things, in the backseat.

Jack and Lureen were longingly eyeing each other - the rodeo king and queen.

"M" is mine

"On Saturday, Gus Van Sant -- one of the industry's first openly gay directors, whose credits include Good Will Hunting  and To Die For -- spoke at the Queer Lounge about his efforts to get Brokeback Mountain  made five years ago.

"'That's the one that got away,' he acknowledged.  'I dropped the ball.  I didn't get the cast I wanted.  I wanted big-name actors so I could make a political statement.'  Van Sant generously called Ang Lee's film 'everything I wanted mine to be.  I'm not sure it would have happened like that five years ago.  It's all come true, and I'm really happy it worked out.'"

"N" is node

Jack and Ennis could have proceeded with their relationship--if it hadn't been for the node of Ennis's engagement to Alma.

def-entanglement, predicament
