A letter to the editor of The Orange County Register regarding "Brokeback Mountain":

Not entranced by romance

I was thoroughly entertained by the various arguments presented on why straight men won't "go to the mountain" ["Bringing men to the 'mountain'," Life etc., Jan. 9]. This is not rocket science. This column does not have room for all the romantic movies that the men in my life do not want to see.

The term "chick flick" exists for a reason. "Pride and Prejudice" is an excellent movie that I just watched with several girlfriends. We loved it, and laughed that we enjoyed it more since we were not sitting by our husbands because they would have been bored to death. I did get my husband to "Bridges of Madison County," and his only comment was he liked Clint Eastwood better in "Dirty Harry." The reason most men don't "go to the mountain" is simple: It is a romance and they are not interested.

Round 331!

"...and then we could all live together, herding sheep,
and it'll just rain money from L.D. Newsome...."

Ennis found Jack's harmonica playing annoying.

When we first meet Cassie, she is wearing a tube top to cover her bust.

"Cassie and Ennis are the only people on the dance floor. It is immediately clear that Ennis cannot dance. But Cassie doesn't mind...." [screenplay]

Having to come down from Brokeback early was a real downer for Ennis.

Your round announcement is right on the money.

Ennis wanted to extricate himself from the dance floor with Cassie.

Jack looked elegant in his Western finery at the fundraising dinner in Childress.

Mrs. Twist's goodness shone in her face as she responded compassionately to Ennis's pain, offering him the chance to go up to Jack's room.

The story version of the general delivery letter from Jack:

"Friend this letter is a long time over due. Hope you get it. Heard you was in Riverton. Im coming thru on the 24th, thought Id stop and buy you a beer. Drop me a line if you can, say if your there."
