"W" is Wyoming's

Jack and Ennis travelled far and wide through Wyoming's mountains and valleys, searching for some safe time together.  Well actually, very far and very wide by Ennis' standards.

"X" is xpurgation

Anyone attempting an xpurgation of the text of Brokeback Mountain would have their work cut out for them, especially when it came to the final argument between Jack and Ennis.

Fashion statements by BBM cast members at the 78th Academy Awards:


Jake Gyllenhaal:
In his classic tux, the Brokeback Mountain best-supporting-actor nominee "looked perfectly groomed, perfectly fit and elegant," says [Glamour magazine's Suze] Yalof Schwartz.  "He looked like a male model walking the runway as opposed to an actor walking the red carpet."


Michelle Williams:
The supporting-actress nominee  (Brokeback Mountain) said picking her mustard-colored Vera Wang frock was easy:  "It was the only dress. They made it for me."  Yalof Schwartz applauded her "daring" choice.  "Glamour was oozing out of her fingertips. In a sea of classic gowns, she stood out."

Heath Ledger:
The  Brokeback Mountain best-actor nominee wore a traditional bow-tied Dunhill tuxedo.  He also sported a mysterious cross pin:  "It's part of a cult I'm with," he joked.

Ennis was taken aback after Jack placed his hand on his crotch in Tent Scene I.

"D" is downside
« Reply #9148 on: December 04, 2006, 11:13:52 am »
The major downside in Tent Scene I was Ennis' reaction in the morning, leaving Jack to fear that the downside was greater than the upside.

"E" is employed

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
