"N" is notably

Jack was notably impressed with and attracted to Ennis as soon as he laid eyes on him.

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

"O" is outsized

"Brokeback Mountain is blessedly free of Hollywood condescension, despite the presence of outsized belt buckles and press-on nails.  There is not one character, major or minor, that devolves into caricature.  The movie is a triumph of spare dialogue, as actors communicate reams with their faces and bodies."

"P" is predilection

In time Del Mar divorces, but his predilection remains unsaid (by Alma).      Quiet mastery .. JWR.

"Q" is quoting
« Reply #6713 on: August 28, 2006, 11:51:09 am »
Lureen was quoting Jack who was quoting Ennis when she said, “It might have been a place where bluebirds sing and there’s a whiskey spring.”

Scene:  Linda Higgins' Gift Shop

Ennis del Mar returns to the gift shop when notified that his BBM postcard has arrived.  It no doubt made friendly Linda's day.  She placed the postcard in an envelope for him.  U thought Ennis only went there once? ::)

"S" is squint
« Reply #6715 on: August 28, 2006, 12:13:26 pm »
As part of his characterization of Ennis del Mar, Heath Ledger became a master of the squint.

"U" is unconvincingly
« Reply #6717 on: August 28, 2006, 12:16:28 pm »
When Alma asked Ennis to invite Jack in for coffee, he replied unconvincingly, "Aw, he's from Texas."

On weekday mornings, it helps to remember the adage of the Great One (Wayne Gretsky):
"I go to where the puck is going to be." Thus, we have to go to where the alphabet is going to be!

Alma wished Ennis would take her and the girls vacationing more often.

"W" is wills

"The movie is a triumph of spare dialogue, as actors communicate reams with their faces and bodies.  Credit Ang Lee, who here exceeds his already excellent work with actors in Sense and Sensibility  and The Ice Storm.  Note, for example, how Gyllenhaal as Jack wills himself not to catch a sideways glance of his naked comrade."

I was trying for "R", then "S", and the next thing I knew, Toast had posted "V".
