The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

After they had indulged in a night of whiskey and passionate sex in the Hotel Siesta, Jack said to Ennis: "Christ, it got to be all that time a yours a horseback makes it so goddam good."

Jack warned Ennis that he couldn't cook work a damn, but that he would have no problem with the legume-filled cans, because he was pretty good with a can opener.

"Old Brokeback got us good," said Jack, referencing the memorable summer he and Ennis had shared four years earlier.

As much as Jack talked about having a good life together, Ennis remained noncommitted.

L.D.'s officious interference in Jack's parenting efforts earned him a good dressing down in front of his family.

An excerpt from Ed Hulse's editorial review of Brokeback Mountain  at Barnes & Noble:

Contrary to the hoopla generated by the film's attackers and defenders alike, Brokeback is neither a deconstruction of the "macho cowboy" myth nor an endorsement of the gay lifestyle. It does dwell on the secret sorrow that all too often accompanies closeted same-sex romances, and it doesn't shy away from depicting the damage done to the lovers' families. Michelle Williams, Ledger's real-life significant other, delivers a tightly controlled, heartbreakingly poignant portrayal as Ennis's wife, who is devastated by her accidental discovery of her husband's secret love life. Anne Hathaway is nearly as good as the pampered, willful daddy's girl who marries down-and-out rodeo rider Jack and takes him into the family business.

Jack and Ennis sat talking by the fire about such things as horses and rodeo, rough stock events, wrecks and injuries sustained, while respecting each other's opinions. Ennis riding back to the sheep, "thought he'd never had such a good time, felt he could paw the white out of the moon."

Ennis on how he took his father's advice and smacked KE:   I got him in the outhouse, jumped him on the stairs, come over to his pillow in the night while he was sleepin and pasted him damn good. {story}

Despite the risk of being permanently typecast or having assumptions made about their own private lives, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal had the good sense to take on the roles of Ennis and Jack in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.

After the Oscar nominations came out, Graham Fuller of the Guardian UK assessed the favourites' chances, while their panel of experts suggested who they think deserve to win the biggest prizes.

Actor: Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman are both note-perfect as Cash and Capote respectively. Heath Ledger must be a favourite for Brokeback Mountain. Russell Crowe impressed me in the underrated Cinderella Man, and David Strathairn is terrific in Good Night, and Good Luck. I think that A History of Violence showed Viggo Mortensen to be the new De Niro, but I appear to be alone in this.
