"Q" is quencher

When he needed a thirst quencher, Ennis often reached for a beer.

"They had a high-time supper by the fire...drinking, smoking cigarettes, getting up every now and then to piss, firelight throwing a sparkle in the arched stream, tossing sticks on the fire to keep the talk going, talking horses and rodeo, roughstock events, wrecks and injuries sustained, the submarine Thresher lost two months earlier with all hands and how it must have been in the last doomed minutes, dogs each had owned and known, the draft, Jack's home ranch where his father and mother held on, Ennis's family place folded years ago after his folks died, the older brother in Signal and a married sister in Casper."  [story]

Ennis put his postcard to Jack through the mail slot at the post office.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"T" is trailers
« Reply #6743 on: August 28, 2006, 09:41:05 pm »
There are a number of preview trailers for the movie Brokeback Mountain.
The subtitled French trailer includes the spoken words "scrawny asses" and the rodeo fu**ups scene, and louder, more agressive music.

"U" is unnatural

"A singular guitar chord manages to invoke the sharp pang of hurt and empathy for the unrequited lovers each time another obstacle is thrown their way. Nothing is done just to simply elicit emotions as each action is presented as pure and unbridled. The interactions between the two leads are always sensitive, and never unnatural or overly sappy."

The visage of the nine-year-old Ennis witnessing a horrible event was unforgettable.

"W" is wants

Scene:  Higgins' Gift Shop - Postcard Rack

Ennis (standing at the postcard rack): "He turns it, not finding what he wants". [screenplay]  BTW, we know exactly what Ennis wants at the gift shop (no, not Linda):  a postcard of BBM, an eternal remembrance of his late boyfriend Jack!


=aside= Fran
The last "W" -- by U -- was W-1!
It dint go unnoticed: "Wills"! ;)
U no who caught the drift....

X is xcusatory

Ennis was xcusatory while explaining to Jack that even though the divorce was final, this was not a good month for Jack to visit.

Pre-Oscar buzz:

"Four BAFTA's, Four Golden Globes and universal recognition from critics and movie industry bodies alike have put Brokeback Mountain firmly in the saddle for this year’s Academy Awards race. Quality speaks for itself and Brokeback has it in spades. But good craftsmanship is no guarantee of success as, come voting time, Academy members are as susceptible to mood and circumstance as anyone else.  So here’s why everyone attached to Brokeback Mountain should remember their ‘thank yous’ when those all-important envelopes are opened on March 5...."

"Z" is zighyr

Blood began to zighyr from the wound that Ennis got when he was thrown from his horse after an encounter with a bear.

def: Zighyr: to percolate, trickle, or ooze.
