"U" is unconscionable

Joe Aguirre made it clear to Jack Twist that he thought the boys' careless behavior up on Brokeback was unconscionable.

In spite of Old Man Twist's virulence; Ennis maintained his composure and his last words to Mr. Twist were "Yes, sir."

"We see Ennis and Jack setting up camp:  sawing wood, building a fire, putting up the tent.  Jack carries buckets of water from a stream."  [screenplay]

Alma couldn't help xtrapolating the real reason for Ennis's fishing trips from the condition of his tackle box.

"Y" is yogurt

Anna Faris ...  has had small but memorable turns in prestige films, too, including  ...  "Brokeback Mountain" (the chatterbox Texas socialite (LaShawn Malone) whose quiet husband connects with Jake Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist).

Faris made a frozen-yogurt commercial when she attended Edmonds-Woodway High School. Her big line in the commercial was "Not anymore!" when asked if she was eating yogurt, while shoveling it into her mouth.     


ps.  If you can find the frozen-yogurt brand name, please let me know.

"Z" is zanies

Anna Faris's character as humorously chatty LaShawn at the dance and Jack's mock rodeo dance at the campfire made them the two zanies of BBM.  They had fun dancing together too!!

"A" is admissions

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

=compliment= Dre
Good "Z"!

"B" is bootless
« Reply #9118 on: December 03, 2006, 02:20:02 am »
Jack's application for a third summer of work on Brokeback proved bootless, since Joe Aguirre had made up his mind never to hire him again.

=aside= Meryl
Clever "B".

"C" is core
« Reply #9119 on: December 03, 2006, 08:58:56 am »
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
