As Ennis, Ledger is so clenched that he mutters as though his jaw were wired shut; certainly his emotions are.

I loved your Ennis as Macbeth.
I memorized that passage in 11th grade.

While his yacker wife was in the ladies' room Randall had a suggestion for Jack Twist:  "Think you'd like to go down there some weekend? Drink a little whiskey, fish some. Get away, you know?"

Tony Curtis
berates Brokeback Mountain
in an interview with Fox News:

[Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag in the movie Some Like it Hot]

"(Brokeback Mountain)'s nothing unique. The only thing unique about (Brokeback Mountain) is they put (Brokeback Mountain) on the screen. And they make 'em (male gay lovers) cowboys.
Howard Hughes and John Wayne wouldn't like (Brokeback Mountain)."

Brokeback Shakespeare 2:

JACK (before he falls back asleep after TS1):

O blessed, cherished night! I am afeard,
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
too flattering-sweet to be substantial!

=asides= Toast
LOL at your quite appropriate picture accompagnying Mr. Curtis's comments. Wonder what John Wayne had to say about "Some Like It Hot" btw?

=aside= Southendmd
Thanks for your Macbeth comment!  :) I learned that passage by heart too, once upon a time, and rather like it. Seemed eerily fitting for Ennis, somehow. :-\

=============================================

=comment= For the less literary
Jack and Ennis cherished their time together.

Jack and Ennis enjoyed the delectable elk as well as their after-dinner delectables.

Annie P's prose could be described as elliptical:  very concise, nothing extraneous.

Ennis and Jack as Romeo and Juliet, brilliant!
