Thanks, Ray, Front-Ranger, isabelle, et al. for your kind words. I have a confession to make here: Once I posted, I sent Ray a panicky PM, afraid that my post would be ignored, and for a while, I also thought about deleting. I just want you to know that I'm glad I didn't.  (I'm breathing a sigh of relief here.)

isn't it odd, that it is so hard to find people to discuss this movie with?? i have about 2 real people and lots of internet buddies, but the face to face boudinc of ideas is waht i really crave...
this movie really shook me to my core...i can't get it out of my head, my heart, my thoughts..the music plays on and on on continius repeat and the lines form the movie play in my head too..i have downloaded it to my ipod and watch it , or segments of it every time i can..
it has changed all of my former beliefs..it has totally revolutionized my way of thinking, my life, my outlook, the vision of my future, my feelings about intollerance...EVERYHTING has changed since i saw BBM that first time...
HOW can you explain this to people who have not seen it, refuse to see it, or have seen it and either don't "get it" or hate it...
sigh....

maggiesmommy,

I don't believe you can.

I used to tell people who said they had no interest in seeing it to just go see it with an open mind. Then I started telling them to just go see it with an open heart. Now I've stopped trying, after realizing that some people will never "get it" and that other people don't want to "get it."

Hi everyone,

My name is Joyce, coming from IMDB too  :'(. Thanks a lot for the invitation! Honestly, I have been EXHAUSTED to save that sinking boat. I feel so relieved to find another paradise here....although I will still visit IMDB once for a while.

I am a Taiwanese and working in Beijing now. I have business trips very often (tomorrow I'm flying to Seattle....). I really have no idea why I am cureless falling love with BBM. Ever since I saw it in January, I just cannot get rid of it from my mind. I even quarrelled with my brother and sister-in-law because of it (they are Christians, and me too!), and they questioned me why I went to see the movie more than once (actually it's 7 times) for a movie promoting the theme of "sin" blablabla....(give me a break!)

Luckily another thing distract my attention lately - I finally watched the last season of "Six Feet Under". Woo...I love it so so so so much! I cried a river....

OK I wanna shut up now. Glad to meet you guys here, and quite many familiar names. BTW, I love the name "BetterMost"!  ;D

Joyce,

Welcome! Glad to know that someone else speaks Chinese here.  ;D   There is a lot interesting discussion on bettermost, some goes beyond the movie.  A lot of fun too.

Hi Joyce,
I feel like you deserve to win some kind of Brokeback Mountain award for building that amazing "summary of Remarkable threads" thread back on imdb... and also for keeping it going and updated for so long.  I referred to it all the time when I used to post on imdb all the time.

welcome to the safe, troll free environment of BetterMost.

Ditto. 

I didn't know what was you, Joyce.  Kudos for compiling the list!
