--- Quote from: shakestheground on June 13, 2008, 09:28:06 am ---She was one of hundreds of people in the stands at the rodeo where Jack meets Lureen. Her mother, Bonny, who is a cook at the hotel in Rockyford, says she can picker her out in the crowd.
The story Bonny told was that her daughter turned quickly and ran straight in to Jake, knocking him on the ground. She was so mortified she then ran away.

Now that really would be embarassing!! I don't think I've ever bumped into anyone hard enough to actually knock them over... and needless to say, especially not a celebrity. The fact that it was one of the stars of the movie just makes the whole situation even wackier.

Yes! Absolutely, when you look at him in contrast to almost everyone else in the crowd at the event, Jack really sticks out in his especially dark clothing.
I think there's a bit of foreshadowing here about Jack's death too... the ominous color and the discussion about the broken down pick up that occurs with LaShawn while they dance.

Never thought about the foreshadowing there but now that you point it out it's almost obvious!
Great observation! :)

Wow. From whom?

It was on another forum, and my taking issue with it was my first, and hopefully only, experience with getting hate mail. That wasn't a reference to anyone here.
That Ennis' father was the one who killed Earl -- or, more likely, part of a group of men who did -- is my interpretation, of course. It's based on references in both the ss and movie. In the ss Ennis says during the Motel scene:
If he was alive and was to put his head in that door right now you bet he’d go get his tire iron.
Ennis doesn't say that his father would have beaten the crap out of him or disowned him, he specifically refers to a lethal physical attack. IMO, that's a reflection of a gut feeling he'd always had about his father.
In the movie, Ennis says that his father might have done it "for all I know," which isn't as definite a statement. However, the flashback clearly shows Earl's body just as it was left and it evidently hadn't been found yet. But Ennis' father knows exactly where it is, and makes sure that he takes his sons to see it before it's discovered.
There's no telling what he'd done to his daughter too, by the time he did the world a favor and drove off the road.

I thought it was a pretty clear impression that Mr DelMar either did it or was involved. You give the examples to support that conclusion.

Mr Newsome really got on my nerves! He was my one and only vote, I wish I could make it count as 3 votes.
