"P" is passionless

But these (marriages) are passionless unions, and Ennis' drift into unemployment and alcoholism is relentless.    Lasso Me Tender

"Q" is quetching
« Reply #6491 on: August 22, 2006, 05:32:52 pm »
Jack was always quetching about something: the food, the cold, the infrequency of intercourse.

"R" is responded

Ennis seldom responded to any of Jack’s queries with more than one or two words.

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

"S" is satisfied

Jack quetched and kvetched and was rarely satisfied.

Don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh
and know they love you

"T" is threshold

Ennis stopped at the threshold of Jack's house and thanked his mom for the shirts in the paper bag.

"U" is uncommunicative

When Jack first met Ennis, Ennis was taciturn and uncommunicative, but Jack brought him out of his shell.

"V" is virulent

"... even detractors agree that Brokeback Mountain is a moving story of cursed love and a repression so pervasive that it remains as virulent within the hearts of the lovers as it does in the cruel world they inhabit." From Lonesome Dudes by Joseph Braun. Link

By xposing her breasts in "Brokeback Mountain," Anne Hathaway put her "Princess Diaries" days well behind her.

"Y" is yo-yoing
« Reply #6499 on: August 23, 2006, 01:10:06 am »
Like my prior "Y" is "yo-yos", this yo-yoing is inspired by The Osmonds' #1 song "Yo-Yo" from 1971, another hot year for Ennis & Jack!!

Ennis & Jack were notoriously yo-yoing each other's emotions by such major scenes as Ennis not having Jack stay after the latter's grueling approximately 3,000-mile round-trip drive and, in turn, Jack's round-trips to Mexico not to purchase turquoise jewelry but to rent  Spanish-speaking male hookers. 

=aside= "Yo-Yo's" at the ABCz
{revised 8/23 and note all "3" referred posts end in a "3"!}
Round 081 #2263 - Memento
Ennis' emotions yo-yoed between detachment, fear and despair.
Round 199 #5533 - SouthEnd
Jack was like a yo-yo traveling from Texas to Wyoming and Wyoming to Texas.
Round 198 #6483 - Will-U
Ennis & Jack's relationship was posilutely like they were two emotional yo-yos.
 

=comment= The Osmonds
Those interested in getting the song "Yo-Yo" with the Gay lyrics for Ennis & Jack, go to any record store and ask for The Osmonds' new anthology c/d!  For mo' 411, check out www.Osmond.com  Playerz interested in the antique 8-track tape containing "Yo-Yo" should contact Missy Fayette! :-*
