Here's a photo of the woman we met in Cowley, Alberta, a very small town indeed (some of the scenes of Signal take place there).  When she saw the caravan of cowboy-hat-camera-toters, she came running out to show us what Ang had given her:





Too bad he didn't give her the whole chair.  :)

The chairs used on location seem to have different caps on the poles.  (In this photo, Heath's in a brown chair, but there's a green one in the background.)



Maybe the chair they're auctioning is one from a theater question-and-answer session or something.

Wow. What an image.

Just look at the two of them, the faces, the body language. It's Heath and Jake--but it's Ennis and Jack.

Oh my.

I'm going to snag this photo for the Heath and Jake together thread over in CT.  This may be one of the best Heath and Jake pics I can recall seeing.

Oh my.

That is exactly what I was trying to put my finger on.It is all 4 of them,sort of half in half out of character, but still seeming to show a genuine affection for each other.Unless post BBM they had a serious faling out over something, I cannot see that bond completey disintegrating.I am not lookig for them to have been lovers viva vis BBM, just to keep the obvious camaraderie they seemed to have.There are lots of shots of them together, outside of filming and they always seem at easewith each other.In fact Ennis seemed far more at ease being interviewed with Jake around than on his own.
You see plenty of actors who outside of the film can barely be civil to each other.
Anyway I am happy thinking of them as friends,so I will saty i my little bubble !!!!!
