We all appreciate the beauty of Brokeback Mountain.  Tomorrow, when HBO airs it, perhaps a whole new audience will appreciate it as well.

"B" is barely

Jack can barely breathe after Ennis tells him, "I got the girls this weekend.  I'm sure as hell sorry.  You know I am."

"C" is cloth

Ennis: "Doubt I'll feel nothin." But he staggered under canvas, pulled his boots off, snored on the ground cloth for a while, woke Jack with the clacking of his jaw.   [Proulx]

After Ennis came down from Brokeback, his life starting going downhill.

During her shift at the bar, Cassie eyeballed Ennis and decided she liked what she saw.

"F" is frigidity

Annie Proulx describes the frigidity of Lureen Newsome Twist on the telephone with Ennis Del Mar in 1982:
"No doubt about it, she was polite but the little voice was cold as snow."

"G" is Granites

"Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback."  [story]

"I" is impress
« Reply #8899 on: November 25, 2006, 09:00:17 pm »
 Jack is constantly trying to fill the role of Western hero, trying to impress; when we first see him, waiting with Ennis outside Joe Aguirre’s trailer-office, he leans against his truck in an exaggeratedly casual posture, with a “hey, cowboy” leer. The pose seems tentative here, but when he strikes it again later, after he knows he’s won Ennis, it’s triumphant. Unlike Ennis, Jack knows what he wants and is willing to go after it, though he may be only a little better at understanding it.     That Brokeback Got Me Good
