The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

Fischer did an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal entitled JAKE GOES FROM WAR TO HORSEBACK.

In the interview he says: With his star on the rise and his status as a heartthrob cemented, it became impossible for Gyllenhaal to avoid the draw of a big summer blockbuster. In 2004, he starred alongside Dennis Quaid in the mega-budgeted The Day After Tomorrow, but his next two films again offer variance. "Jarhead" follows Anthony Swoff, a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom. Gyllenhaal will then be seen in Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain, set against the sweeping landscapes of Wyoming and Texas. This love story tells of two young men -- a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy -- who meet in the summer of 1963 while driving cattle on a mountain range. They unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.

nn Hathaway said in an article in The Daily Princetonian: "We didn't want to make a political message," while conceding, "I have a feeling this film will play well in blue states, moderately well in red states and just thrive on DVD. What people aren't willing to do publicly, they are sometimes willing to do privately." "I hope people just go to see the film," she added.

ying in a pose reminiscent of Matisse's odalisque, Ennis allowed himself to be amused by Jack's antic recreation of bull-riding.

lma did not hold "Jack Nasty" in very high regard.

eaning against Aguirre's empty trailer in the early morn, Ennis heard the stutter of an ancient engine announce the entrance of Jack Twist into his life.
