The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

"Late in the afternoon, thunder growling, that same old green pickup rolled in, and he saw Jack get out of the truck, beat-up Resistol tilted back."  [story]

[Will-U]

Scene:  Higgins' Gift Shop

Linda Francis Higgins was unfamiliar with exactly where Brokeback Mountain is located.  When Ennis indicated to helpful Linda that he was lookin' for a postcard scene of Brokeback Mountain, the charming Miss H thought BBM was located "over in Fremont County".  Ennis indicated no; it's north of here.

Ang Lee’s vita before directing Brokeback Mountain includes writer, producer, actor and director on a number of other movies, thus qualifying him to oversee the film.

Def: a brief biographical sketch

Jack tried a Carl Perkins song, bawling "what I say-ay-ay," but he favored a sad hymn, "Water-Walking Jesus," learned from his mother who believed in the Pentecost, that he sang at dirge slowness, setting off distant coyote yips.    [short story]

"Water-Walkin' Jesus.
Take me away!   [movie]

Good one - I'm surprised we didn't use that one before the 239th round.

Jack felt that he spent an xorbitant amount of time (4 hours a day) commuting back and forth between tending the sheep and going to the main camp.

From a five-star review of the "Brokeback Mountain" DVD at Video Universe:

"Some people dismiss this as just 'a gay cowboy movie', but this is just oversimplication.  The essence of this film is about the enduring power of love, that love comes in ways and means that may not always make us comfortable, but is nonetheless just as valid and real.  The breathtaking cinematography, music and plot stayed with me for days after the first viewing, haunting my waking hours like nothing ever has.  Closer inspection has revealed deeper layers inherent in the film, such as the duality of elements (yin-yang pairings) and subtle gestures.  Above all, the actors, who totally threw themselves into their roles, particularly Heath Ledger who *becomes* the tortured Ennis Del Mar."

The zoophoric sign in the Cassie/apple-pie-eating scene indicates that it's a Greyhound bus station.

Ennis' aloof posturing says more about him than the few words he does manage to speak.

Excellent "Z" and graphic.

Ennis's belligerent posture put the bikers at the Fourth of July celebration on their guard.
