Hello everyone! Very nice to see you here.
I'm JackFromMoscow, or JfM if you want.
I live in Moscow, Russia, as you could already find out of my nickname. My real name is Sergey, but I don't really like its writing in English, so maybe Serge would do it better.
I've watched BBM not long ago, in the middle of December 2014 and it has totally turned my life upside-down. I ain't joking, its effect was two-weeks-long or so. I was really depressed and couldn't think of anything but BBM. I suppose, there's nothing new you're reading, dear BetterMostians.
Earlier I rushed into BetterMost with my topic "Request for help from Russia". After two weeks of being here I understood it was quite obtrusively, because now BetterMost seems to me like home, where all the old friends sit around the table having warm and cozy conversation with each other. Some members here are the real veterans (as I would say) of BBM and this forum.
Of course, pretty big time passed after BBM appeared in cinemas (ten years anniversary this year!), and time has changed. With all these twitters and facebooks, traditional forums, as I suppose, became a little old form of having conversations; posts are changed by comments mostly. But forum makes it better having Friendly and warmly conversations. Forums suggest big and constructive messages (posts). And me, I really like big and contentful messages!
It is very nice to see you all here. After all these years, this Forum lives and, first of all, Brokeback Mountain lives! Of course both short story and movie will never be forgotten, because the REAL art never dies, it lives forever.
Reading this forum is like having a nice winter evening inside a warm, cozy house, with a cup of hot tea and a good book.
I was just eleven in 2005. Of course, I wouldn't understand nor even like the movie. I had no internet that year, I think I didn't even know what a forum is exactly. I remember me watching news in 2008. I couldn't figure out, who on Earth could Heath Ledger be, and I didn't know why his death makes so many people sad. I never say such things as the following one, but... I wish I was twenty in 2005. So I could wait new movies with Ledger, I could discuss the BBM with friends or here on forums... I fould watch BBM in cinema... But for my very big sorry, there never will be any new movies with Heath... there's nothing to wait... And there are half a million posts here; I suppose there's little to say new about BBM. I think all the interviews are discussed, every word of both movie and short story is examined on this very forum. Yes. It is ten years passed. And we, who met Brokeback Mountain recently, just have the oppotunity to touch something ethereal, to become a part of it.
Well, I hope I have a chance to become a part of this sweet BetterMost home.
