"Q" is Quinn

"One of several remarkable things about Ang Lee's new movie 'Brokeback Mountain' is that, though set in 1963, you could spend the first three-quarters of an hour imagining it to be 1863.  The spareness of the composition, wherein a man, a horse and the yawning skies of Wyoming might be all that fills the screen, suggests a bygone age, and when one character expresses the hope that 'the army don't get me.' you have to correct your initial instinct:  it's not the Civil War he's referring to but the Vietnam War.  For a while, time seems to have stopped in this American pastoral."
--Anthony Quinn, The Independent (UK)

"R" is for run-down
« Reply #4661 on: July 08, 2006, 02:47:26 pm »
The actual house used for the Twist Ranch/Homestead is run-down and in danger of being destroyed.



=comment=
There is a post on the Dave Cullen site
dedicated to finding ways to preserve the
house so BBM fans can continue to visit.
In the meantime, the house has been
vandalized, and the closet has been
ripped apart.   :( Sad!

Ennis and his daughter toast the upcoming wedding:

Ennis (raising his glass) "To Alma and Kurt."
Alma Jr. laughs, and clinks her glass with her daddy's.
Ennis smiles back at his daughter, his face full of regret, and longing.    [screenplay]

I can't believe it took you 168 rounds before you used that word.
I like your new avatar, but I can't give you any more toasters.

"I felt we both knew that this story was risky and that he wanted to take the story on, probably for the creative challenge and perhaps (though he didn't say so) for the gasping euphoria when you get into unknown but hard-driving imaginative projects."   
--Annie Proulx on Ang Lee, "Getting Movied"

Ennis got on the highway crew, tolerating it; but working weekends at the Rafter B in exchange for horse quartering.
