"V" is valuableness

Scene: Linda Higgins' Gift Shop

The Brokeback Mountain postcard purchased in the Higgins Gift Shop by Ennis had great personal and emotional valuableness to him of his time with Jack.

"W" is wrinkles

To show that Jack and Ennis had aged, makeup artists added wrinkles around the actors' eyes.

"X" is xpurgated
« Reply #6442 on: August 22, 2006, 08:51:00 am »
In the movie trailer promoting Brokeback Mountain, the words "scrawny asses" are xpurgated from the sentence: "I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto."

"Z" is zoophilism
« Reply #6444 on: August 22, 2006, 09:30:59 am »
Ennis' zoophilism towards his horses is apparent by his calling them by the endearment of "little darlin'" and by his keeping them despite his economic situation.  In the short story, he works weekends at the Rafter B in exchange for keeping his horses out there.

def = affection or affinity for animals

=greetings= Annie Proulx
Happy Birthday!  Were it not for your short story, none of us would be here.

"A" is awakening

Ennis felt compelled to live in denial after his sexual awakening.

After the summer of 1963, Del Mar is to be married; Twist goes back to the rodeo circuit, if the army doesn't get him.

XXX - that
« Reply #6449 on: August 22, 2006, 10:06:41 am »
Lee, we love your enthusiasm, but you just did the "R".  (I'm not even going to mention the "Q" here.)  Your "T" word, reply #6450, has been XXX'd.  You have to skip two turns.

=comment= Players
We need a replacement "T" word.
