TOTW 17/08: Does this still happen to you?
jstephens9:
I think it was in another thread that I was just talking last week about what happened when I heard the song "Melissa" on my own Allman Brothers CD and then on a radio station I was listening to on the internet from Denver. I was taken right to that point in the movie when Ennis is dancing with Cassie. And I always in my mind know that it is not Cassie he wants, it is Jack. And of course that scene is getting fairly close to the last time Jack and Ennis are on Brokeback. So that is just one of the things, it doesn't take much, for my mind to go back to Brokeback. As far as the DVD goes, I believe I have 5 copies and I have not bought the later edition yet. I believe only 2 of my copies have ever been opened. The other ones are part of my collection. I know it sounds a bit compulsive, but that is just the way it is :) I also have consistently bought two of things such as the calendars. One goes on the wall for the year. The other one remains sealed. I also know what Katie means because when the movie is being shown on TV I feel bad for turning it to something else ;D

Well I only have one copy of the DVD and reading these posts made me panic.I had given no thought to it breaking,wearing out etc,so went out to buy another copy.
Also ordered another copy of Knights tale my 2nd favourite,just in case.
So I have to thank you all for the posts,which acted as a timely nudge, that I needed backup of all things Heath and dear to me !!!!!!
I had to rummage through the big bin things in Wallmart to get another BBM and knights tale I have had to order on amazon.

What a relief to see I am not the only one. It just seemed like the normal thing to do, have 2 of everything, one to use, one to keep in pristine condition. Last week as I was doing a big clean up I looked through my special BBM boxes and decided I must be mad and should do something about it. But all I did about it was clear other stuff so there would be more space for the precious BBM boxes ;D

I'm enjoying these stories of wacky Brokie behaviors and habits. 8)
Here's another one of mine (aside from always feeling like I should buy a copy of BBM whenever I see the DVDs on sale somewhere)...
Essentially every weekend I weigh my options of things to do... and always, without fail, I seriously ponder watching BBM during the weekend at some point. It's basically always on my default "to do" list for the weekend. Of course, I only actually watch it about once every two months (or so). But, it's always front-of-mind as an option.
As far as my two copies of BBM on DVD go, I have one "special edition" copy and one "regular copy" (the one that I bought when it was first released). And, I much prefer my original/regular copy (and I'm not really quite sure why).

I have 2 or 3 copies, I can't remember now. I do know that I'll probably buy another BBM DVD as I tend to let people borrow one and I have a hard time getting it back!
I get a warm and fuzzy feeling still when the weather is cold, or when the skies are full of white, billowy clouds. It seems that BBM is one of the great loves of my life and is never far from my mind!
