Welcome Larz!
Gee, there are sure a lot of people from Indiana here. :D :D
So a big welcome to you from a Tucsonian!
stevenedel:
Hello to you all. Steven here. As an exception to the general rule, I am not from Indiana - rather, I'm a EuroBrokie from Gelderland, an eastern province of the Netherlands. I'm an out gay man, 39 going on 40 (how time flies; it still feels like 17 inside, though). I didn't see BBM in the cinema because a friend preferred Crash >:(. So I got the DVD, and after watching it life was never quite the same again. As I grow older I find I am increasingly susceptible to the emotional effects of movies and music, but BBM is something of an altogether different order than anything I've ever experienced. This is partly due to the beauties of the film as such, and partly to the fact that it triggered some bittersweet memories from my own past. Love can go wrong in so many ways, unfortunately...
I've cultivated my obsession by collecting every book and CD even remotely related to BBM, from Avedon's "In the American West" to Haden & Metheny's "Beyond the Missouri Sky" (for "Spiritual", the duet that inspired Proulx when she wrote the dozy embrace scene). I nursed it further by putting together my own ideal version of the screenplay, because I was disappointed with the published version. If you're interested: I put it on a website to share it with fellow Brokies: www.brokebackmountainscript.com (Be warned though, it's a big file (66MB in all - I've included a storyboard comprised of screenshots from every scene), and my data traffic allowance is limited...)
At this point I've decided to go cold turkey for a few months, but I won't go so far as to include boards like these, so you'll see me around.

Hi dly64! Nice to meet another Hoosier! :-) LOL-I have yet to find the icons here, but am famous for (over-)using them at IMDb.
Thanks for the friendly greeting.
[wave3] <--ooops, that probably won't work here but you get the point.

Hi Gattaca! How are things in Tucson? I've only been there a couple of times, but AZ is beautiful. :)
Nice to meet you, and thanks for the warm greeting.
