"B" is between

Ennis is caught between a rock and a hard place as far as living a conventional life and his desire for Jack. (I think he preferred the hard place).

"C" is contortions

The boys always seemed to find themselves in various contortions together during tussles and tent scenes.

They never talked about the sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow, quick, rough, laughing and snorting, no lack of noises, but saying not a goddamn word except once Ennis said, "I'm not no queer," and Jack jumped in with "Me neither.  A one-shot thing.  Nobody's business but ours."

The boys' infrequent couplings were brilliantly charged and energetic.

"F" is Formica

Alma Jr. looks around the nearly-empty trailer, an homage to plains life minimalism: a TV sits on a plastic milk crate in front of a battered recliner, the only other furniture besides the chipped Formica table, two wobbly chairs, and a fridge and tiny stove.    [screenplay]

=compliment= Memento
I like that Ennis preferred the hard place over the rock.
Nice one!!!

Ennis was grumpy when he found out that they were to take the sheep down a month early.

The mountain was an idyllic setting to fall in love.

"J" is Jewish

I demand a Jewish cowboy! Wait, Maggie's brother Jake played one in "Brokeback Mountain." I demand a straight Jewish cowboy!     Salon.com - Cool Jews

=correction=
David Marchese seems to have taken some liberties with the facts here.
Jake Gyllenhaal was raised Jewish. (His mother is Jewish; his father is not.)
Jack Twist, in Brokeback, is a lapsed Pentecostal cowboy - sheepherder.

"K" is kernel
« Reply #6199 on: August 17, 2006, 01:42:28 pm »
The boys told each other "truths and lies", but there was a kernel of truth within those lies, such as for instance in Jack's tale of seeing a ranch foreman's wife on the side.
