Sorry he had to keep his hands steady. Sorry he had to duct tape his mouth together to keep the drool off the camera. I mean, how can ANYONE, witness the many excellent maneuvres in this scene -- the sneaky Jack hand grab, the Ennis fight or f**ck pop-up, the slinky Jack coat throw, Jack's patented one-hand belt flick, Ennis bronco flip/Jack rodeo twist, Ennis' no-reins-so-you're-shirts-gonna-have-to-do left-handed clutch, Jack's vein poppin' ggo fist on floor pound.....Uh...what was my point again? Oh yah, cameraman. Who cares about him? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! ME!!!!!!! (goes into ugly cry, sobbing pitifully)....

You have me on the floor rolling, smilesalot.   :8  I wish it would have been me holding that camera; but, if it would have been me, you all would be watching a threesome instead of a twosome FNIT.   :d)

I'd stand behind you to help you hold the camera...would that make it a foursome?

As I recall, Ang Lee held the camera for the FNIT... perhaps also for the SNIT??

I'm sure someone can check this out for us.

You're definitely right about the FNIT edgar - I remember reading that. Not sure about the SNIT.

On the DVD's SPECIAL FEATURE sesction I thnk it is mentioned that Ang Lee held the camera himself for this scene. admitted that that Jake G. had gone to a "very private place" . That in itself has alot of implications.

WAY HAY HAIT A SECOND HERE. Where in the DVD Special Features does Ang say he held the camera??? If the Canadian version doesn't have it I will so totally lose my usually polite Canadian cool. If, however, I missed it because I was bleary eyed from my repeated slowmotion screening of certain KEY scenes -- only due to my commitment as a member of the Brokeback Research Institute of course -- then I will gladly redline it over to my DVD forthwith and watch that section again.

Oh yes, and may I say I am truly shocked and apalled at the way this discussion has developed. You people are offering to hold the camera? Who cares about the camera. f*** THE CAMERA!!  I'd be right in there holding something else, I'll tell you what. Maybe  TWO THINGS - hey I got two hands. Maybe searching for the harmonica. Trying to be the gooey middle between a Jake and Heath OREO cookie. Marshmallow between a Jake and Heath oozy smores treat....Wow... now I'm hungry AND horny....Where's that bucket of ice again???

What in tarnation is going on in this tent!!  First we got Jack and Ennis trying to get a little sum sum,  and now we got people to hold the camera and ready to substute for the boys.  Well, I supposed I  will offer to join in the tent festivities to make sure things don't get too wild in here.  And if Ennis or Jack is willingl and able to go for round two, well, I guess I would volunteer for that... all in the name of  the BBM team.
Sure ' nuff

Well, Ennis sure had his suspicions about that tent. Something about it just didn't look QUITE right. I know Jack said it ain't goin nowhere but it sure as hell got crowded pretty darned quick. Bodies, cameras, harmonicas flying everywhere!

Whew. Now that I've totally debased myself on this thread I feel I must move on to a more serious subject worthy of my keen observational skills and analytical mind. Soooo....where's the SNIT thread again?????

I think this the most popular thread on most sites of BBM. FNIT and SNIT are both scenes with Ennis and Jack throwin down. We are some horny bastards! are'nt we ?  Yes in the name of resarch, we must continue to study this some more. Classes start NOW.

There can't have been that much wrong with the tent, it was still standing after Ennis and Jack's exertions, if it could cope with that, I doubt even an earthquake could've knocked it down! :d)
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

I'd like the sign up for the special seminars on the One-Handed-Bronco-Ridin followed by the Forehead Thud, please. Do we have to pay extra for materials? Oh yes, that midnight session on the Jack Twist Coat Toss also looks appealing. So many courses and there's just never enough time...never enough.... :8

Tentology 101 LMAO...

Anybody else relate to that feeling of having someone close to you...maybe they are in the next room, sitting next to you on the couch or maybe even in the same bed...You crave them...you are hoping that they are having the same feelings or desire...You wish they would make a move and wonder if you could ever muster the confidence to make that move yourself?
Maybe you just let the moment pass or dont act on those feeling because maybe they are "just a friend" or you think it might not be appropriate or accepted? Maybe you finally did make the move or they did and it turned out fabulously!!!

Jack must have had the butterflies prior to making that first move, but all fear went out the window when he was overcome with desire for Ennis. That was such a brave and bold move...I can't get over the way that scene unfolded...shocked me initially!!!!

Now who has balls the size of apples?

You go Jack!!!

I bet Jack didn't know for sure how Ennis would react when he did his infamous hand reach over.  He probably figured either he would be getting it on shortly or be beat to a pulp shortly.  But, like you said, the passion and desire sometimes just overwhelms a person.  So glad it overwhelmed Jack !  If not, BBM University sure wouldn't be as popular.  I think we need to add a course:  How to Say F***k Me Without Really Trying.   :)

Stagewhispers 201 covers that. Jake is evidently a graduate - he does a lot of whispering during this scene and others - which among other things gives him deniability!

Uh, I think it was balls the size of apples....if that coyote had balls the size of camels then I think Ennis would have run a mile :8

Getting this slightly back on topic, I really believe that Jack knew Ennis wouldn't hit him. Don't think he knew exactly what Ennis would do, but I'm sure he wouldn't have doen anything if he thought it would end with Ennis beating him up or, worse, running off. I think there had been enough signs that Ennis was feeling something for Jack to take a chance.

Ennis wouldn't be running anywhere that night. I think their being to a greater or lesser degree drunk is the key to it - it gives them both an excuse - "Didn't know what I was doing" etc if one is needed. I agree, Jack must have been fairly sure that Ennis was interested in him because I think he knew exactly what he was doing and wasn't anything like as drunk as Ennis by that  point.
