Thanks, K.  That was a fun one.  I never would have gotten the Up in the Air connection, however.

I forgot to put up a 'next', so here it is:

Next up: 

I can think of three reasons why


is Brokieish.

1. It is invisible. Jack and Ennis (wrongly) believed themselves invisible.

2. Air is also invisible. On Brokeback, Jack and Ennis flew in the euphoric, bitter air.

3. When there is no typing in a BetterMost post, the background remains a boneless blue.

Thus,


is Brokieish.


Oh, I know I'm really late with this, but can I add two other reasons why Elephant is Brokieish? The movie is based, in part, on the shooting at Columbine High School, a tragedy examined in an excellent (by all accounts) book by Dave Cullen. Also, Columbine is located in a suburb of Denver, a metro area that is home to several notable Brokies and the site of our 2007 barbecue.

Wait, you changed your challenge!  :laugh:  Or were those words there all along and my computer just didn't register them? Or am I going crazy?

Or perhaps you, like me, need to pause before coming up with the next challenge, so you hadn't filled it in yet.

Anyway, Elizabeth Banks has starred in at least a couple of movies with Seth Rogen, including Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Seth Rogen's voice reminds some of us of Heath's. Thus, Elizabeth Banks is Brokieish.

Also, Elizabeth Banks played Laura Bush in the movie W. Laura Bush was First Lady at the time Brokeback Mountain was released. Thus, Elizabeth Banks is Brokieish.

Next up: Playboy bunny.

No, Katherine, you're not crazy--I needed a little time to come up with the next one.  
Elizabeth Banks also starred in Larry and Diana's Comanche Moon.

Yes!

Next up:  still thinking...

When Jack suggested that Ennis move to Texas, he said he was "thinking out loud." We can safely assume he was still thinking about that idea long afterward. Thus, still thinking ... is Brokieish.

Kidding. I'll wait.

OK, it's been so long, I don't even remember the Brokie connection I had in mind.  

I'd better find another one...

Elizabeth Banks is triple Brokieish. She had a role in Comanche Moon (first thing I ever saw her in), which is a prequel to Lonesome Dove, which was written by Larry McMurtry, who, of course, wrote the BBM screenplay with Diana Osana.
