"B" is boasting

Jack's boasting and fanfaronade about his equestrian skills were later belied by his bent harmonica.

Although Jack and Ennis were usually far apart, each tried to cherish the other in his own way.

Wow, what a post!  And that's no boast!

"D" is doubles

Heath and Jake were given stunt doubles for the scene where Ennis and Jack leap from a cliff into a mountain lake, but Heath opted to do the jump himself, clearly recognizable even in the far shot.

=aside=Paul
Remember how that raft guy had me going about being Jake's double?  ;D

I won't be around much til July; leaving tomorrow to do a job.
Keep the tent warm!  :-*

"E" is Eagles'

In an early version of the bar scene where Ennis meets Cassie, Ennis is sitting in a booth by himself while a few couples dance on the small floor near the jukebox to The Eagles' "Already Gone."

=aside= Sandy
Thanks.

=aside= Meryl
I'm wishing you success with

Down in Texas Jack’s father-in-law died and Lureen, who inherited the farm-equipment business, showed a skill for management and hard deals. [story]

=aside= Paul
Thanks.

=aside= Meryl
I also wish you success with your job. The tent will be ready for you when you get back.

The divorce postcard goosed Jack into wanting to be nearer to Ennis.

"H" is heavier

During an interview to promote Scary Movie 4, Anna Faris, who played Lashawn in Brokeback Mountain, was asked why she had returned to Scary Movie  territory.  She replied, jokingly, "Well, I have to tell you, I like to say that I do silly, fun projects like Brokeback Mountain  so I can do heavier projects like Scary Movie 4."

"I" is implant
« Reply #17487 on: June 04, 2008, 01:25:01 pm »
In an attempt to implant the idea in his sons' heads that homosexuality was a sin that deserved a death sentence, Ennis's father brought them near the corpse of the unfortunate Earl for a first-hand look.

=aside=Paul, Fran and Sandy
Thanks for the good wishes!  :-*

"L" is lothario

While sitting near each other at the "gonna snow" lake, Jack and Ennis bragged about women, each pretending to be the lothario.

=aside= Meryl
Hmm, Lothario would be more Don Giovanni , I suppose.
Have a great Zauberflote !!
