The "I LOVE everything Ennis" thread
Penthesilea:
How can anyone not love everything Ennis? If you'd ask me in what scene I do not love him, it'll be easier. Can't keep my eyes off him when he is on screen. I guess I missed the one or other Jack moment/facial expression for always looking at Ennis.
Some of the more obvious and most popular aren't mentioned here yet. They were mentioned often on IMDB threads, and I think they belong here, too. So I take a classic one for my first post on this thread:
I love Ennis always tucking in his shirt.
And I love these "I love everything..." threads. We should make them grow and grow... Thanks roboy (spelling?) for recreating them here on bettermost.

Hey, Penthesilea, that's exactly how I feel. I'm so glad to have you around, because we are in the minority here. But that's OK, too.
Brown Eyes:
Hey now people. I disapprove of pitting Ennis against Jack or Jack against Ennis. As Proulx says you can't have Ennis without Jack.
So here's an important classic.
I love Ennis for loving Jack best.

Amanda, you are right, of course, and very fair. Beyond my own unavoidable preference I'm not crazy about the pitting either, though mainly because Ennis usually fares worse. I always feel bad for him and want to leap to his defense, or at least offer some balance to the Jackophilia.
For a while on imdb, I considered starting a thread called "in defense of Ennis," because I feel he frequently gets judged too harshly. But the "ILE Ennis" thread goes a long way in that direction.

It wasn't my intention pitting Ennis against Jack or vice verca. I sure love them both. Annie said it best.
However.... I can't help being Ennisphil.
Another one:
I love Ennis in the beginning of the scond tent scene: looking for a second at Jack, looking away, looking again... He can't stand it to look openly at Jack face to face (at this point).
