Weirder still, I get jealous of Heath and Jake because they know Ennis and Jack better than I do!
That IS weird! But I have said it on BBM and PT, but I'm feeling jealousy too! Not so much of Heath and Jake knowing Ennis and Jack better, but for being what I've always wanted to be and being able to do, what I've always wanted to do..
Kind of irreational for me was to travel all the way to London just to go see the movie (my first time!) and all the way to Lille (France) to see it a second time. Red-lined all the way, arrived, found a place for my car and ran to the cinema just in time! In February I booked a week-end to London to go to the BAFTA's (though I have to admit, that I've done that before in February 2002 to see Russell Crowe (for "A Beautiful Mind") and now I'm biting my nails, 'cause it must have been
exactly the time, when Jake was in London performing on stage in "This is Our Youth".... Maybe I bumped into him without knowing..)). I did see Jake and Ang (but I think nobody else recognized him, because there was no yelling when he passed and I really only saw him, when he was about to disappear into the ODEON building). Did not see Heath and Michelle..
And then all that 'too little sleep' to stay up through the night to see the OSCARs live and to post on all kinds of boards. And buying magazines, something I almost never do and also buying basically ALL the DVDs of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal films or now ordering them via AMAZON (something I don't do often either - maybe once every 2 years or so..). And then there is begging fellow Tremblay'ans to send me stuff over from the US (hm, Vic
), like cow-boy hat charms and special-made T-Shirts. I'm even trying to get a youtube.com video done - though it takes a lot of time.. I've been fighting trolls and archiving threads and have been discussing this beautiful and amazing film with perfect strangers, but who I'm so proud to know! This is not the place/thread, but THANK YOU ALL!
The only other series/films I've been discussing online and meeting with people is some German soap (way back in 1999), Will&Grace and Russell Crowe. I'm still a fan of Will&Grace, but the two other addictions have stopped completely!
