Becky:
I have just read through this thread and I realised that I haven't posted about myself.
I am no one new so all you regulars already know this(so you can switch off round about now), but just a quick "Hello!" from me to all you new people.
Well I am Becky I am 15, infact one of the youngest here at Bettermost(but definitely not the most immature ;D). I have been here at BM since the 31st of March(I have just checked) and I am loving it so far. I came over here in March cause of the troll invasion we had in IMDb and I have loved it here ever since. As I said my name is Becky, I have blonde hair and blue eyes, I live in Bedford, UK (an hour and a half drive south to London). I live with my mum, dad and sister. My sister is called Kirsty(or Krusty), she is 18(soon to be 19)and she is also known as the "Crash" sister as she actually loves the film. And our fights about it are infamous. My birthday is on the 17th of October. I am not the brightest crayon in the box, but I apparently have my moments of quick witt, trust me you will be lucky if you catch me in one of these rare moments cause they happen once in a blue moon.
I have been completely besotted with BBM ever since I saw it on the 8th January 2006 in Cambridge. And soon after I found the guys on IMDb. I love everything BBM and I infact have a whole BBM scrapbook, I know it is sad but it controls my collecting OCD.( I don't really have OCD but it is what I call my hording of BBM related stuff). I have made some really good friends here and I love you all. :-* Most of my friends are also powerful people here at Bettermost, so watch your step....A'ight. :laugh:
I normally spend most of my time on the Chez Tremblay and The Lighter Side of the Mountain boards, so if you go over there you will probably stumble across one of my post sooner or later.
I have also started doing a trilogy of quizes, so if anyone wants to take a look, be my guest:http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=1270.0(tries to stop her self singing Disney songs!)
My posts are normally a better quality than this, but I am watching ER at the same time as watching this, so don't blame me if I randomly right ER characters names in this post.
I hope I get to know all the people I don't already know, cause you all seem like wonderful people from what I have read.
I am off to go and watch ER cause my brain hurts from all the multi-tasking.
Love,
Beckala :-*

Hello fellow Brokies.... my name is Alec and joining this site is definitely a first for me ... a "one-shot deal," to quote one of our mutual friends. I have been reading this site and the IMDB board for a while, on and off as time permits. I have never been so affected by a story or a movie as I have been by Brokeback Mountain. Discerning, articulating, and processing all that Jack & Ennis have to teach us will take eons. I won't likely have much time to participate online, but I do look forward to enjoying and benefitting from the ongoing commentary and discussions when I am able. I am in the process of moving from Washington, D.C., where I have lived and worked in public service for 18 years, back home to the Buffalo, NY area. I think this site is a terrific idea and I have to believe that many people are benefitting from it. I look forward to getting to know you as time marches on.

Oh...let's see (I'm no good at bios). :)
I'm Gregg, a 50 year old (this past May) gay male living in Tucson, Arizona. Just moved from Portland Oregon a year ago (where I lived for 12 years). Quite a climate change, huh? I work at the University of Arizona. Honestly, this is the first forum I've ever joined! I see that I am not the only person who has been so deeply impacted by this Ang Lee masterpiece.
I have read Annie Proulx' Wyoming Stories of course, and the author possesses extraordinary literary range. As I write this, I am listening to the BBM soundtrack (downloaded on my iTunes over the weekend) and the Gustavo Santaolalla instrumentals make my heart soar.
I'm probaly more an "Ennis" type than a Jack type, but realistically, an amalgam of both. Like Ennis, I'm not big on endearments. ;)
I heard about BetterMost over at IMDB, where I read voraciously, but never posted.
Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to BetterMost Gregg!
There are alot of us IMDB refugees here. We mostly post in the "Chez Tremblay" area. But we try to spread out and post everywhere. The "Anything Goes" area is good too. If you liked IMDB you'll LOVE it here at BetterMost.Net !

Hi All
I'm Becky, 34 married with 2 kids. I just saw this amazing movie for the first time on Saturday night. It is Wednesday and I am still crying. From reading a bit here today, I guess I should expect to be crying for awhile more still.
I don't think I have ever been so obessed with a movie. I was lying in bed last night, couldn't sleep, so I went downstairs and watched some of the key scenes again. The reunion being very, very high on my list of favorites. All the Ennis and Jack scenes are so poignant. And now that I know how it ends, I cry that much more when I see them.
I watched all the DVD extras, not nearly enough if you ask me, which I never do. I would love for this DVD to have commentary, like every other DVD I have ever rented (and i never listen to). I would love deleted scenes, just more more more of anything.
I can't stop thinking about Ennis and Jack and just crying...
