Hey there:
I am a newbie to this wonderful message-board, having only joined tonight. Previously I was at IMDB for the past month, since I just saw BBM for the first time on April 13th. I have been enraptured ever since. After seeing the movie I was stunned for about a day, and went to IMDB to clear up some of the questions I had (what did he say at the end? How did Jack die? and I didn't even realize that the flashback was a flashback until I watched it again). I had gone to see it in the theatre the very last day it was playing, and then all the next day, which was Good Friday, I could not stop thinking about it... I could hardly stand to wait until the next day when the stores were open again so I could buy the DVD.
I have had Brokeback Fever ever since, I have not watched any other TV in weeks, (why am I even paying for cable TV these days?) I have not kept up with my favorite show the Apprentice, all I have done about that is tape the episodes, I don't even know who is left. I work, come home, read the boards, watch BBM, sleep, read the boards, think about BBM duning my long commute back and forth, etc. It is an addiction!
At first I was inconsolable that they would not be together, JACK'S DEAD!!! How terrible! Then I was enraptured by the sweet love story side of it, and how yummy-delicious both Jake and Heath are in the movie, but lately in the past day or two -- and this is blending what AP wrote in her story with the movie, plus a LOT of wisdom from fellow posters -- I am thinking that the main theme of the story is about Ennis not accepting his attraction to Jack, more than it is a pure love story. The lines in the story after the flashback ---- well this could turn into a major essay, so I will save it for the boards. Anyway hello to y'all, and are you guys keeping the same monnikers you had over at IMDB? I know I have appreciated many of the regular posters' posts. I can't reel the names off, but I will be looking for them!
