Ennis more than once demonstrated an almost owlish over-sensitivity to bright light.

"P" is protozoa
« Reply #6231 on: August 17, 2006, 05:38:58 pm »
When Ennis warned Jack that drinking water from the stream could give him 'beaver fever' {story}, he was implying the water could be infested with protozoa.

"Q" is quasi-ambiguous

“Down to the quasi-ambiguous hate-crime finish, Brokeback Mountain comes as close to being a still life as you can get with human characters.”

”The room stank of semen and smoke and sweat and whiskey, of old carpet and sour hay, saddle leather, shit and cheap soap.”

The sex scenes were both tasteful and titillating.

"V" is vowels

Ennis' consonants and vowels were often poorly enunciated.

"W" is Winfrey-like
« Reply #6238 on: August 17, 2006, 05:54:53 pm »
In an Oprah Winfrey-like lapse, New York Times critic Manohla Dargis claims that every straight woman has had an Ennis in her life, while San Francisco Chronicle film critic Mick LaSalle thinks: ''It's possible that if these fellows had never met, one or both would have gone through life straight."

"X" xample
« Reply #6239 on: August 17, 2006, 05:56:05 pm »
Mrs. Twist was compassionate, accepting and understanding concerning her son’s relationship with Ennis; as such, she set an xample of the nearly ideal parent of a gay child.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
