I rarely go to see movies, and to be honest, it's a miracle I saw Brokeback in the first place.

Well, thank goodness from all of us who have met you and been enchanted by you, that you did.

Open your eyes...

Yes, I'm the same way!  Though I do often make an effort when I hear that there's a good new gay-themed movie.  That's actually why I saw BBM.

I was a film history/ theory teaching assistant in grad school for two different courses, and I studied film (history/theory) in both undergrad and grad school.  But, to me it really is often largely academic... and not really personal. 

Like I said, usually film doesn't strike me on an emotional level like music does.
