An OT observation about the mountain scene with Aguirre:
IMO, this wouldn't be the first time that young males working for Aguirre had sex to relieve tension (re Annie Proulx' quote). What seems to really disturb him on his unexpected visit is the discovery that they've changed roles: Ennis up with the sheep, Jack back at camp. Aguirre might not have given either much thought; but the two together suggest a domestic arrangement that goes a bit beyond sex as a physical release.
When you think about it, that's a foundation of the opposition to same-sex marriage. It isn't so much opposition to same-sex activity as to the suggestion that there's something more than that. It's the people who are often accused of being "heteronormative" that are the real threats to the NOM organizers of the world.

I would agree wholeheartedly with this, Marge. He was wise enough to know that fate had taken the reins. The look in Jane's and Chris's eyes said it all. And he, like Aquirre, was watching it from afar, and realizing that everything they'd strived for was about to be shot to hell.

Oh, now I'm gonna have to get a copy from Netflix too! My old VHS copy is somewhere around, but we don't have a VCR anymore.
As I recall, Seymour's character says that her manager has foreseen a number of things that would happen in her career; that he seemed to know just what would happen. So maybe he was a time-traveler too? Now I'll have to read the book!

Oh stop it, Marge! Now you're just freaking me out with that possibility that CP was a time-traveler too? EEK! Guess tomorrow's going to have to be a double-feature afternoon.
