"L" is logs

At their two encampments on Brokeback and on later fishin' trips, Ennis and Jack always set up logs near the fire, the better to sit, chat and chew.

"M" is movie-costume-as-character

An excerpt from Marit Allen's obituary in The Guardian:

Marit Allen, who has died aged 66 of a brain aneurism, pulled off a powerful use of movie-costume-as-character in the scene in Brokeback Mountain (2005) in which a lone drifter discovers, in the family homestead of his dead lover, the shirts they wore while cowboying together long before: shabby denim and weary cotton wrapped in each other's arms.

Jack's childhood bedroom had an appearance of neatness and orderliness.

"O" is odoriferously

Jack complained that the pup tent reeked odoriferously of feline micturation, or worse.

"P" is partaking

While partaking in a Thanksgiving feast at the home of his ex-wife and her new husband, Ennis tried not to be a sad daddy.

"R" is ranchers

Jack and Ennis were poor ranchers who came from opposite corners of the state.

"S" is sheltering

When a hailstorm blew up suddenly on Brokeback, Jack found it easy to convince Ennis to come under the sheltering roof of the tent, and, as a matter of course, into his sheltering arms.

"T" is tents

Finding tents from the ’70s that looked brand new proved difficult for set decorator Patricia Cuccia until she found a local Alberta tentmaker who was able to recreate tents of that decade.

"W" is would've

Jack would've done anything for Ennis including giving him the shirt off his back.
