Very random questions that pop to mind when thinking of BBM:

Yeah, and if that had been the case, would Alma have had a digestive handy for him?? ???

J, I definitely wondered this one after watching the DVD a few days ago. In the second-to-last camping scene, they are by a river, and because the tent is set up, and because of what they must have been doing in the tent, I have to believe it would be a camp set "way the hell out in the back of nowhere" - so how the hell did they get that giant red Coleman cooler up there? Balanced on the horse's head!?

Good question. Only answer I can think of is that they might have made more than one trip. Just because we saw them riding together doesn't mean they were actually going to where they were camping. Perhaps they had already set up camp and were just riding for pleasure and to talk/not talk.
As for the Zippo lighter question, in those days, cigarettes were 'part of' supplies, I'm sure. Matches would have been as well. You don't think they lit that campfire by rubbing two sticks together, did you? ;D

No, certainly not. But they lit some other fire by rubbing their foreheads together...

Ray and I mused about this, David - actually, after a couple of glasses of white wine, "musing" consisted pretty much of hurling abuse the computer monitor, a la "well, offer him a lift, you stingy bastard!!!" etc. We concluded that if Jack HAD offered Ennis a lift somewhere, and if Ennis DID accept it, you lose an incredibly poignant and wistful sequence of Ennis disappearing in Jack's rearview mirror and Jack fighting the urge to cry about it.
Can you imagine what we'd moan longingly about if they'd driven together into Riverton and Ennis had popped Jack a quick kiss on the cheek or a reassuring squeeze of the thigh with a "see ya in four years, then, hunh?" before jumping out of the pickup and heading over to the post office???
Faaar more romantic and sad and tragic the way Ang shot it. ;D ;D

bwahahahahahaha!! I love it. ;D
I guess an additional mule or two on those twenty years of trips might not have looked so romantic. "Here we are, off in the beautiful mountains, just the two of us... and our four mules to carry the comfy chairs and the big blue coffee pot and stuff."
