"F" is family

In the end the stud duck refused to let Jack's ashes go. "Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin in it."    [short story]

"G" is gastronomical

The beans/whiskey combo meals on the mountain were hardly high-altitude gastronomical highlights, but they proved to be just the right fare to help bring Ennis and Jack together.

Jack had a hunch that Ennis would be up for joining him in TS1.

"I" is integrity
« Reply #6143 on: August 15, 2006, 03:15:16 pm »
 And what is that "moonlight amid the mountains" of which Thoreau speaks?  It is the sheer exhilaration of the authentic life lived fully in the integrity of one's own truest self.     From Brokeback Mountain to Walden Pond

"J" is jet

A singular jet plane can be seen in the film in the sequence in which Jack is pitching his sale tactics on the gentlemen in Childress.

"K" is kicker
« Reply #6145 on: August 15, 2006, 04:10:14 pm »
It is evident that Ennis found Aguirre's order to bring the sheep down early a kicker of the very worst kind.



Def. kicker: A sudden, surprising turn of events or ending.

"M" is male-male

Ben-Hur ...  better than BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN,


Those in search of a hunky male-male film
will do much better purchasing this classic
than going for "Brokeback Mountain."
It is much more erotic
 -- and funnier, too.

"N" is nastier
« Reply #6148 on: August 15, 2006, 05:44:38 pm »
My husband Mr. Twist's attitude toward Ennis in the kitchen scene depicted above showed that John Twist was nastier than Jack surely described his father to Ennis.

Thank you Mr. Toast for displaying that photo up above.  I believe that the actress who portrayed me did a fine performance.

God bless all the nice folks here at the Brokeback Mountain game.

"O" is offhand

Jack acted in an offhand manner when he put Ennis' hand on his crotch.
