So true.
I'm wondering whether I can watch BBM anytime soon or not. I think I'm a little closer to Amanda's view. On the one hand, I'd rather see Heath as Ennis than Heath as Casanova, pseudo Bob Dylan, Candy's junkie boyfriend, etc. But on the other hand, I think I probably can't eat no cake right now.
How do y'all feel about watching it now? Has anybody watched it since ... Tuesday? How'd it go?

I'd really like to watch it. I feel like I need to. I'm not sure why. Maybe I need to hear Ennis say 'getting tired of your dumbass missin', I don't know. Maybe I'll switch if off after ten minutes.
I just don't want to feel I've lost BBM too. It's Heath's legacy to all of us.
I was listening to BBM radio earlier today and heard parts of the BBM score. I found it soothing.

I heard "The Wings" over some TV clip or other, and burst into tears.
:'(
Yep, probably too soon for me to watch the whole thing.

Well, over here, Heath's death (those two words together are FOREVER going to feel 'wrong') is a non issue. It was on the radio news wednesday morning. It was on the tv news at night. And that was it. There were a few articles in my newspaper (one page long tribute which was nice) but nothing more. So, I haven't come across anything BBM by accident. It just isn't there.
Which makes it all even more 'unreal' at times.
hugs to you.

I'm glad I saw I'm Not There while Heath was still alive, and while I could appreciate it as a movie.
BBM has always been about grief (as well as other things) for me, so the outright bawling might feel cathartic.
But mostly I'm too numb to watch movies at the moment.
(I also have not run across a single mention of Heath's death in RL. Partly that's because I don't watch TV, and I haven't been in any checkout lines to see People or EW. Partly it's because it was an event of only passing significance to everyone else in my world. Surreal.)
