Ennis put Alma in an awkward position when "he did quickly what she hated."

The quilt on Jack's boyhood bed lasted for years - thanks to the quilter's workmanship.

"That spring, hungry for any job, each had signed up with Farm and Ranch Employment -- they came together on paper as herder and camp tender for the same sheep operation north of Signal."  [story]

"T" is Taylor's
« Reply #7724 on: October 13, 2006, 08:30:32 am »
In the screenplay, Randall Malone tells Jack that Roy Taylor's "got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp.
Got a crappie house...little boat.
Said I can use it whenever I want.
(pause)
Think you'd like to go down there some weekend?
Drink a little whiskey, fish some.
Get away, you know?"

"U" is unpeggable
« Reply #7725 on: October 13, 2006, 09:37:15 am »
"From the ever unpeggable Ang Lee and adapted from an Annie Proulx short story, [Brokeback] Mountain is a gay Western with a shot to become much more than a niche movie.  Of course, when your directorial résumé includes Sense and Sensibility and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you obviously know how to work the angles.  And for renewed fire in his belly after his Hulk debacle, Lee now turns to more than campfire pork and beans."

Ennis was sending out positive vibes when he banged the coffee pot with a twig as Jack was singing Water Walking Jesus.

"W" is whacked
« Reply #7727 on: October 13, 2006, 12:15:15 pm »
Ennis whacked the coffee pot with a twig, later whacked Jack with his fist, and whacked some other things even later.  Like the bikers, I mean.

"X" is xt

In the published screenplay for "Brokeback Mountain," the word "exterior" is abbreviated as "xt" (sans the period) when used to describe a scene location.

Y is yucking
« Reply #7729 on: October 13, 2006, 12:49:52 pm »
The New Yorker Magazine
(which published the original short story 9 years ago today)
joined the jokers yucking about Brokeback Mountain
 and featured a parody cover with President Bush and his sidekick Cheney - whose gun had just gone off.
