Special Edition
A Collective Greeting From The Mod Squad
The Moderators each wrote a few words to wish you a Happy New Year, you will see some wrote them in their native language... there are Mods originating from France, Italy, England, Scotland, Norway, Philippines, Taiwan, United States and Canada on ennisjack.com. This is some small planet, huh? This is some great forum and we have a new home, thank you for your support.
--- Quote ---To My Family
Thank you for giving my the gift of life and love which I have been a part of since I joined this forum almost a year ago. I wandered in the dark and found light, I wandered alone and found companionship, I looked for understanding and found love. To the members of ennisjack.com, thank you for this past year and I so look forward to the new one.

(I hope the English makes some sense) Dear Brokies, I wish to all of us a year fullfiled with love, friendship, peace, health and happiness. I love you. Thank you once more to Annie Proulx without her we wouldn't be here.

--- Quote ---Best wishes and lots of love to all Brokies as we enter 2007. You have made 2006 a very special year for me.
It has been wonderful to see so many hearts touched by this masterpiece film.
You all have touched my heart in many special ways.
I hope 2007 brings you all peace, love, and happiness in ways we have not previously imagined.
Happy New Year to everyone at ennisjack.com!

--- Quote ---有時後很難相信 這個討論區會因為一部電影而成長 斷背山不只是一部電影 它是我們心裡的一部分 在 ennisjack 過去一年當中 我們用這個心去感受 去體會 就如同是 Ennis 和 Jack 的緣份 讓我們有機會在人生旅途上相遇 謝謝你們的支持與鼓勵 祝大家新年快樂 身體健康.
Sometimes it is hard to believe that the forum is all because of a movie. Brokeback Mountain is not just a movie. It is a part of our heart. During the past year, we used it to experience, to feel and to form friendship just like Ennis and Jack met the first time. Thank you very much for your support and encouragement. Wishing everyone a very happy new year and good health.

2006 was about forging the bonds of friendship and love. 2007 is about deepening them. My life has been enriched more than I can express by everyone here. Thanks for the laughter and for being there to share the tears. I wish a happy, healthy New Year to you and your families. Happy New Year Brokies!
Lots of love to you all,

--- Quote ---Dear friends, I hope each and everyone of you has a wonderful new year. I hope 2007 brings you great joy and as many good people into your life as ennisjack.com has brought into mine. Thank you for the fun, joy, laughter and tears that many of you have shared with me over the last year. In Scotland we say " A guid New Year tae wan and all, lang may yer lum reek" which translates as A good New Year to one and all and long may your chimney smoke. This refers not only to having warmth in your home but also a hearth where friends and family can sit with you. There will always be a place in my home for my brokie belles and beaus.

Come down from the mountain heights, and be one with all.
Come down from the mountain heights, and find yourself.
A Prosperous New Year to you. my friends.

Quotes From Last Week
Posted by justlikethisalways on December 31 2006
--- Quote ---First off -- I'd like to with a very belated Happy 1st Birthday to ennisjack.com!!! &**)
Although I'm not a regular poster here, I still feel I must make my own very humble contribution to this thread.
Why do I love ennisjack.com? Very simply, it has been a blessing in my life. Today makes exactly one year since I saw BBM in Seattle with my partner (we were visiting his folks at the time). He thought it was a nice movie, but that was about it. But, for days afterward, I was haunted by BBM. I kept hearing "The Wings" in my head, even in my dreams. Eventually I found ennisjack.com after having spent time on other forums. The openness, friendliness, and overall goodwill displayed on this forum made it stand out. I regret that I have been more of a lurker than a contributor to this site, but rest assured that I consider each and every one of you a brother or sister in my heart.
I've read with amazement about the get-togethers in Montreal and London. About 10 years ago, an acquaintance of mine mused about how the Internet offered an opportunity for distant souls to connect in meaningful and life-changing ways. Skeptic that I am, I scoffed. Now I eat my words.
In a few minutes, I'll be watching BBM in observance of my own 1st anniversary. I know each of you will be with me in spirit.
Happy New Year to all! :cr)

Link: Why I love this place
Posted by Dirtbiker on January 3
--- Quote ---Still fascinated with the power of the movie, but I do long for the early days when the movie consumed me completely, making everything going on around me and the world seem totally irrelevant and unimportant. It was almost like a Dali surrealistic painting... It motivated me to do things that I never thought I'd do. Definitely got a kick in the butt, "but" in a good way... :c)

More greetings for the new year found in Citing the "Gray" (Panthers) no - Wolves, better yet Silver Wolves
From Jerasjr, on December 31 2006
--- Quote ---Was listening to some tips on survival and somehow related those tips to us here in camp.
If you are lost
stay in one spot
someone will come and find you
IT seems to me that we were "lost" and we found our spot and have stayed here with people finding us all the time.
And I am glad that we have found each other.

From LuvJackNasty on January 1st 2007
--- Quote ---It feels so weird to say goodbye to a year that brought me so much. I'm nearing a year since those two men wriggled their way into my heart and I never thought I'd still be here. We've shared ups and downs, birthdays, holidays, laughter, tears and most importantly love. But it also feels so good to ring in 2007 knowing that those who have come to mean so much to me will be here as we embark on a fresh new year on this Brokeback journey. If someone had told me a year ago that seeing that movie would a) affect me so much and/or b) bring me all of this I never would have believed it. I still don't believe it at times- the love, support and friendship found here- at times seems too good to be true. But it is true and it is real because it is felt everyday where it matters most- in my heart. I love you all <^(

Dissection of a Picture -- Final Scene
Started by Carbyville on January 3
--- Quote ---…I was looking through pictures one day and came across one that really made me kind of sick. It is a picture of the scene that gets me the most depressed. I looked at it for a few minutes because it is an amazing hi-res version of the picture. The longer I looked at it, the sicker I felt. Sick with sadness, I should say. I decided I was going to make this post to see how everyone else felt about what I am going to point out, observe and analyze about this picture…

Meet the Authors
Fan Fictions are stories of the characters of Ennis and Jack from many authors, others than Annie Proulx. ;)
You could find more about this here.
Warning ??? Many of the stories have explicit sexual content.
Posted by LuvJackNasty, an interview with our very own Flwrchild :)
Author of “Another Fork in the Road” One shot
--- Quote --- Are you a professional writer?
No, though I have toyed with the idea off and on for years.
If yes, have you published anything and if so what?
If no, What's your job in the ''real'' world?
I am a stay-at-home mother of a five year old boy.
What brought you to write about the characters of Ennis & Jack?
Same as most, I suspect. I just couldn’t get them out of my head.
Are you writing Fan Fictions about other characters others than the ones from BBM?
No, they are the only ones that have grabbed onto my heart this way.
Is it sometimes difficult to deal with the critics and comments of your readers?
I’ve been very lucky so far, people have been extremely kind. So no, not yet anyway.
If you could change one thing about the story/movie what would that be? (excluding keeping Jack alive...I think we all would change that if we could!)
Just more time. One more day, one more hour. One more moment for them to hold each other.

Zodiac premiere meeting in London
Started by Monicita on December 12
--- Quote ---My brokies and Jack-lovers!
during the wonderful EGT meeting in London last weekend the idea of going to the premiere of Zodiac (the new movie with Jake G.) in London came up. It is going to be in March (not totally clear yet when exactly). We are hoping Jake will be there and it would be a great chance to see some of the other brokies again. Some people said it should only be the premiere and then back home, but for me, flying in from Germany, that seems a pity. Why not at least have lunch or dinner together? I know there are a few of you who want to be there. Who would want to join us?

January 15 - 21, 2007
Hello Brokies,
We hope everyone is having a terrific start for the new year and it continues throughout the year. Ennisjack is having a great start. The forum was moved to a new server at the end of last year and continues to prosper. We hope you are enjoying the new look and faster speed. If you have any problem or feedback, please post HERE
On January 12, the forum completed its maintenance and backup. It took 2 hours to backup roughly 500 MB we have accumulated so far. As the forum grows larger, the backup time will be longer. In order to keep the forum manageable in size, we kindly ask you to "clean" your Personal Messages. Please delete any Personal Message in your inbox or outbox that you no longer need. It will really help us tremendously.
The forum will continue to schedule regular maintenance because it is crucial to backup and maintain our home. When a maintenance is scheduled, it will be announced and posted in the newsbox and newsletter. Please keep an eye on the forum update. Thank you for your help and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Lastly, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Chameau who has worked tirelessly on the newsletters since April 2006. Kudos to his dedication and contribution to the forum. We hope you will find the newsletters informative and useful.

Excerpt
--- Quote ---I find it hard to separate the two anymore. To be here is to touch Jack and Ennis in some way. And when I think of or watch the film, I've reminded of ennisjack. Either through the way my perceptions of the film have changed or grown from what has been shared here, or because something in the film will trigger a thought that I can't wait to discuss with my forum friends.
There's no question I would never have found ennisjack if I hadn't been so affected by the film. At the same time, it's doubtful my intense passion for Brokeback Mountain, the film, would have been sustained at this level for so long without ennisjack to feed it daily.
I think maybe the two together, film and forum, are greater than their parts alone. A living entity, always evolving, and always involving. :)

Posted by Keren_b on January 11
--- Quote ---I love this place every time I read a message from a new member telling me they're gay although they don't know me, because I know they feel safe and accepted here and because I'm happy to see they're proud of who they are and they have other people to share it with.
I love this place every time somebody shares their private thoughts, their most deepest secrets here, because it amazes me that people trust me with these secrets, that they have this place to share things they've never told anybody else, that I have the previlige to listen and support.
I love this place because it's a place of love and acceptance and mutual respect. I love it because it trully is a unique place, and this is how I would like the rest of the world to be.

Excerpt
--- Quote ---When I first read the question, I wasn't quite sure of the answer.....after thinking it over a bit I decided to say: the movie. but that still doesn't cut it. allow me to elaborate :) yes, the movie has had a HUGE impact on me, it made me aware of feelings I never before believed I could have, it made me hurt, it made my heart ache, it LITERALLY (!!!) made me sick ( in a way that I had this feeling of unease in my stomache from the moment ennis and jack parted right untill the next day.....the next WEEK to be exact ), it made me 'be' with myself, made me dig deep into my very soul, it taught me how to enjoy- SILENCE. how to love silence, how to be 'one' with it. it showed me the beauty of love, even though I am well aware of the fact a lot of people/viewers didn't see any love to begin with, but that's their loss. and being on this forum, with all of you marvelous people and tremendeous human beings, helped me heal. I finally managed to find words to describe my feelings, words to describe my sorrow, words to describe every single emotion that struck me during my 10 theater viewings and most of all- not having people around me who felt the same way, here I knew I would be understood- ALWAYS. I knew my words would mean something, I knew at least ten people would go 'I KNOW, I felt the exact same way!'- and even if it were only one person, that would still mean the world to me. so I guess this is also a way for me to say 'thank you!' to all of you, for simply- 'listening' or should I say- reading, understanding and being there.
so I believe that my experience of the movie would not have been complete without the forum and all of you, because I wouldn't have been able to express myself in a way I seemed fit and that is god's honest truth

I found ennisjack.com. Each day that I log on here I know that I will find understanding and acceptance and encouragement. I could not ask for anything more than that in my life. I am so proud to be called a moderator and to work to insure the continuation of what we have here. I am so humbled to be able to call so many of you friends and mean it.
Ennisjack.com has given my something I never had before in my life. It has given me belief and trust in myself, and you dear friends are ennisjack.com. Thank you for your gift.

Meet the Authors
Fan Fictions are stories of the characters of Ennis and Jack from many authors, others than Annie Proulx. ;)
You could find more about this here.
Warning ??? Many of the stories have explicit sexual content.
Posted by LuvJackNasty, an interview with our very own Shieldmaid Author of Going Down
--- Quote ---Are you a professional writer?
Yes and no--I write as part of my job, but not as my primary job.
If yes, have you published anything and if so what?
Yes--I've published about 5 scholarly articles, several encyclopedia entries, and a few poems.
If no, What's your job in the ''real'' world?
I'm an assistant professor of English, so I am required to write and publish articles in my subject areas, which are American poetry, women's literature/theory, and African-American literature. I also write poetry of my own, have written a half-finished screenplay, and am planning to start a novel this summer that's been brewing in my mind for about 2 years.
What brought you to write about the characters of Ennis & Jack?
Like many fan fiction authors, I felt a deep need to see Ennis and Jack inhabiting a world in which they could be happy together in the long term. I had been reading fan fic and admiring the unbelievable talents of writers like Lori, Jenna, Maggie, Amy, Kumari, and many others for months before it occurred to me that I might get some additional relief from the painful beauty of BBM by writing about it myself as well. I was also inspired by the closeknit community of fan fic writers and readers themselves. Everyone is so welcoming to writers and so careful about reading and responding thoughtfully to their work that becoming a part of the community as a writer has been one of the great joys of my life.
Are you writing Fan Fictions about other characters others than the ones from BBM?
No, though I have been a longtime LOTR fan and read some of the fics from that community before BBM was released.
Is it sometimes difficult to deal with the critics and comments of your readers?
Not at all. I try to respond to every comment I receive, though RL sometimes prevents me from responding as quickly as I would like to. People have generally been very kind and supportive when reading my work, and I've been thrilled to find fans following along with my story.
If you could change one thing about the story/movie what would that be? (excluding keeping Jack alive...I think we all would change that if we could!)
I would include an additional scene when Ennis and Jack are older, maybe during their final camping trip, when Ennis embraces Jack face-to-face and really spends some time just looking into his eyes. It's clear that canon Ennis isn't able to articulate his feelings verbally to Jack but I think Jack would have understood if Ennis had let him see into his hidden inner self a little. I read an interview with Heath Ledger in which he said he saw Ennis as always squinting and looking down, and he did a brilliant job of portraying Ennis's closed-off nature. But I still wish for one instance in which Ennis just let Jack see him for who he really is and what he really feels. Because I worry that Jack didn't have that reassurance to remember at the final moment of his death.

Good day Brokies,
Good news, since we moved to the new forum our membership is increasing so is the number of posts. Thank you all for keeping ennisjack.com alive and well. Talking about posting, there are a lot of picture threads here. Before posting images on the forum we suggest you to preview your post. In many events you will find the picture is too big to fit the page. Images who are too big will also take more time to download, especially for members who have dial up connections, you could refer to this tutorial. If you must quote someone's post containing pix, please downsize the photo. Thanks for your help keeping the forum in good shape.
Have a nice week :cr)

Editorial
The following editorial was written by Jerasjr and reflects ONLY the opinion of this author and not
necessarily that of the entire Newsletter Team
Perceptions and Expectations
Often wonder how accurate we are in our surface perceptions of Jack and Ennis: Ennis silent and long-enduring and Jack carefree and in-the-moment. The film doesn’t allow us much time in their lives, much less insight into their moments of introspection.
We do feel and experience the impact of their relationship – the passion, the love and the sorrow – and wish that one or the other could have made that move, that change that would have enabled them to live the life that we hoped for.
But wishful thinking does not make anything work, and the reality of their lives makes for a relationship that many of us might find intolerable in our own. Their story is a triumph of the human spirit in a period that presents innumerable obstacles to its growth.
While we do not see much evidence of change in Ennis, we do feel that throughout his life, Jack was the focus of his affection. Limited as Ennis seems in his emotions, he does realize, albeit too late, how much that love was a part of his being. Ennis seems much influenced by the perceptions and expectations of society, which did not tolerate anything more than the manly male, and the male/female couple. How narrow and compartmentalized his opportunities must have seemed, and they definitely did not include love and life with another man. How conflicted he must have been!
Jack, on the other hand, appears to face life as it comes to him, is not as restricted emotionally and actually seems to have a joy in living. But the focus of his affection is Ennis, and he faces that love, and believes in the ability of that love to overcome any obstacles thrown up by society. Disillusionment does come, but his belief in the rightness of their relationship does not disappear.
So is Jack or Ennis the realist? Or is one or the other the dreamer? A case could be made for both or either. Ennis was a dreamer to think that his life was not affected by the passion he felt for Jack – Ennis was a realist who felt that a life together was impossible. Jack was a dreamer to think that they could make a life together – Jack was a realist when he made plans that did not include Ennis, but another man.
Do not believe that they can be categorized so easily – we do not know their inner thoughts, but we do see their actions toward each other. Do we think the less of either of them for the course that they followed, for whatever happened within or outside of their relationship? I know that I don’t –their love was the thing that dreams are made of.

--- Quote ---No, I didn't count the number of kisses to be 101! What I want to suggest by the title is that kisses and kissing feature so prominently in many of the scenes: from the cold distant kiss exchanged between Jack and Lureen to the dizzying hights of the Reunion Kiss.
And I should also include in this thread a discusssion of the most prominent scenes where kissing did NOT actually occur: as in the near-kiss of the FNIT and the Dozy Embrace, whose power matches any kiss….

--- Quote ---He was inept in a lot of things, but not love... Jack couldn't ride very well, he couldn't shoot very well, he sure couldn't sing and he couldn't use a can opener. But, he was good at love. He loved Ennis purely, deeply, longingly, till the day he died. You could tell that when Ennis came back after being thrown from the horse, Jack dipped his scarf in the boiling water to clean Ennis's wound.
Jack was definitely the force in this relationship.

Posted by Ainfoolin on January 17
--- Quote ---We know that Ennis could'nt admit that he was gay, but how exactly did he see Jack? Did he think of Jack as gay? If he thought of Jack as homosexual, then how would he justify his own love for him and his paticipation in the relationship without admitting his own gayness? This was much deeper than just sex. I think it's MAJOR denial . In other words, how does Ennis define Jack's sexuality? It seems there's a major contradiction. I think Jack was definitly gay as he only sought out men and the only woman he got involved with was Lureen...but she sought him out. Not the other way around.

excerpt
--- Quote ---The "alcoholic" aspect (excessive drinking where it is seen as being a problem by the individual concerner and/or the people around them) is only implied in that Lureen said that Jack drank a lot and made jokes about whiskey springs.
Between the lines I feel Jack was a heavy drinker. Frustrated, stuck in an unhappy marriage yet with the money for drink.

Excerpts
--- Quote ---Why did Ennis marry Alma? I don't think it was love, (on his part anyway), but his next logical step in his mind. Remember, His sister got married and left, and so did his brother, he was alone, Alma even mentioned that in the film. So for him it was the thing to do.
His thoughts on sex with her was interesting I thought, "if you don't want to have any of children, I'll leave you alone." Sex with woman only means babies, WOW! Compare this with the passion he showed when he was with Jack...
...He married Alma, because it was the thing to do. He was protective of Alma, but I doubt that he loved her. His whole being was centered in Jack, and even that tormented him.
Why did Ennis marry Alma? Was It Love or the next Logical Step.

Passage
In idleness
Thy come to feel Thine sun
With thy bare hands
Disguised thy sorrows
Like clusters of leaves
Restraint in this enclave
What lowlands and grassy plain
Are whispering the winds of fall
In hope thy beyond yonder thy blest
Upon this grave
Thyself an old man, dearly thy pause
Thou thy part and farewell sigh
Hither fair the morrow’s dawn
Thy pray no more, must go
Lesser thy inner glee
Upon a breeze
Folded wings bond thou worth
Come thy fare not evil
Dazzle thy bosom ebbing time
Upon thy watering eyes
Thou lips touched and kept
Like a garment of thy soul
Mortal, shame not
As thee rest well to
Hear thy better cry
Thyself in honor
Our love forever
Heaven inne sealed in wonder

Finding my own Brokeback Mountain
Started by horo04 on January 17
Excerpt
--- Quote ---...Originally I tried to find these sites on my own but to no avail. Even though I live in Calgary and all the scenes were a stone throws away I just couldn't find anything. Now thankfully to findingbrokeback.com all those places became a reality. Another reason I'm putting these up here is to promote Alberta tourism and also an Alberta get-together is being planned for sometime this summer at Bettermost.com. So come out here and see the..well not the real Wyoming..but a "cheap imitation" of Wyoming! (as Ang Lee put it...but as you'll see there's nothing "cheap" about it! ;))

--- Quote ---How much of the meaning of BBM is in non-verbal form?...
After all our discussion on this forum, I have begun to wonder just how much of the meanings of the stories and the characters is found in non-verbal form. How much is said by one riased eyebrow, one lick of the lips, etc. I think so much comes through body language. Is this Ang's superb direction? Is it the innate ability of our boys and girls to act well? Or is it due to something else? I'd be interested in hearing what you think.

Excerpt
--- Quote ---When it time to come down from the mountain, and Ennis complained that could short change in pay, Jack, offered him a loan and Ennis shot back, "I don't need your money." turning on his friend and Jack meekly said "ok". And there the fight that they when it was time to go and Ennis out of anger and frustration punches Jack.
The final confrontation: Ennis walks up to Jack, and threatened if ever found out, what he did when he wasn't with him, could cause him to get kill. That's when Jack finally spells it out to Ennis what he really feels. Ennis did have Jack on a "short leash", and Jack tried to cope with it, because he loved Ennis.
Did Ennis suffer from paranoia, and Jack a passive aggressive?

Meet the Authors
Fan Fictions are stories of the characters of Ennis and Jack from many authors, others than Annie Proulx. ;)
You could find more about this here.
Warning ??? Many of the stories have explicit sexual content.
Posted by LuvJackNasty, an interview with B-73 (Heaven Eyes on EnnisJack) Author of: Mason Dixon, Union Pacific, Signal Crossing, Catch the Westbound, Del Mar Painting, Portrait of a Farmer, Rusted Pipe, Lake Geneva, Unseasonable Storm, Some Open Space, Come Again and also Jack: or Confessions of a White Widowed Ranch Hand; not to mention numerous one-shots/drabbles.
--- Quote ---Are you a professional writer?
No. I've never written before I saw BBM. I believe I started writing about it for the same reason many others do, to search for a better ending, to express the devastation and the pain I received from the movie, and, ultimately, to heal myself from the wound the story inflicted upon me.
If no, What's your job in the ''real'' world?
I received my doctorate in plant biology last spring (right before I saw BBM for the first time on DVD) and now work a plant geneticist at a research university in California.
What brought you to write about the characters of Ennis & Jack?
As I said above, to find a way to channel the painful emotions the story instilled within me. Also, I did quite deeply fall in love with both Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, and so really my stories are something like love letter to them.
Are you writing Fan Fictions about other characters others than the ones from BBM?
No.
Is it sometimes difficult to deal with the critics and comments of your readers?
Sure. I'd been accused of plagiarism at one point, and that was quite painful to endure, but in the end I can't let it deter me (though when people give me constructive criticism I always take it into consideration, and I do appreciate people taking the time to share their ideas and opinions with me).
If you could change one thing about the story/movie what would that be? (excluding keeping Jack alive...I think we all would change that if we could!)
Oh, if only Jack didn't have the pornstache! I know that's so petty, but I can't write post-divorce Jack because of that. I know, how lame.
