"S" is summers

Jack spent two summers on Brokeback Mountain. 
One time he almost asphyxiated with the stink.
One time he came away smelling a sweet life.

"Ennis woke in red dawn with his pants around his knees, a top-grade headache, and Jack butted against him; without saying anything about it, both knew how it would go for the rest of the summer, sheep be damned."  [story]

"U" is unreceptive

Due to his childhood traumas and society's continued prejudices Ennis remained unreceptive to Jack's proposal of a sweet life together.

"V" is vaunting

Jack's complaint to Ennis, "What's the point a makin' it?" could be seen as vaunting.

Linda Higgins Gift Shop

In the now known Higgins' Gift Shop, while speaking to Ennis who was looking for a BBM postcard, lovely (and large) Linda tossed a used wet coffee filter into a wastebasket.

After not done during my 2-day break, the "ABCz of BBM" game header  (i.e., # of viewz in 100s and # of postz in 25s) is now updated by me.  I've literally done it thousands of times.  It's one of the special tasks of the ABCz Chief Mod.

Michael Costigan:  ... I think Ang also saw in it what you see in a lot of his films; people who are xtensions of where they are from and where they live, and are products of their environment.   [Production Notes]

"Y" is yellow-toothed

Lureen became more and more yellow-toothed as she aged, especially evident in her phone call with Ennis.

"Z" is Zahn's

“'Brokeback Mountain,' you have never seen a Western like this.  The critics rave about Oscar potential, but is America ready for young cowboys in love?”   
--  Paula Zahn’s opening remarks during a segment
of CNN's “Paula Zahn Live,” on December 13, 2005

"A" is advertising

As Ennis is pulling up to the lonesome old ranch, we hear the kitchen radio advertising a grocery store, possibly Monroe's.
