The "commuting" line is in the story, and, notwithstanding Annie Proulx's acknowledged genius, I don't think it sounds right in the story either, for a kid raised when and where Jack was raised. :-\

What about the beans and the pie? I don't remember anyone commenting on any problem with beans. As for the pie, if you mean Ennis's piece of apple pie in the bus station coffee shop, I've tried to spot a problem with that and I can't. Maybe it's just another camera angle thing, but it always just looks to me like a piece of pie that's been fiddled with on the plate as well as had a few bites taken out of it. Maybe if you watch the scene frame by frame on a PC. ... :-\

Well, we know that Jack read magazines, he had a picture from a tabloid pinned up on his bedroom wall. He tried to improve himself, and one of the ways was thru his vocabulary!!

Two I have noticed. When J & E leave Signal in August the same two pickups are parked on the street as when jack return the next year.
At the lake scene you can tell when Ennis collapses into Jack that it was taken from two takes.

Tell you what, I'm glad you mentioned that picture pinned to the wall (in the story), Lee! I've been meaning to ask, is there some movie star picture pinned to the bedroom wall--like, maybe, over the bed?--in the film? I've never been able to see whether there is one there, or not. ???
