How many times...

[Lynne]

I know we have a lot of experts here, but I'm curious about how many times you made it to the theatre to see the movie.

I personally spent the first month being bullsh*t because I needed to drive 3 hours to see it, trying to figure out who to write with my complaints; I eventually figured out it was a distribution plan and not necessarily a censorship issue....so I managed 19 times in the theatre (gave up sleep for many late showings).  And I have every ticket stub saved to be worked into a BBM montage with the movie poster at a future date.

But since I'll have access to the DVD within 48 hrs - yippee !!!! I thought now was a good time for this poll.

Please respond if you feel moved to do so...

Peace,
Lynne

Er...I think I'm at an even 40 for theater viewings...

No, I'm not institutionalized. Why do you ask?

Holy cow!  You win, hands down!  Now I can reference you as a true extremist when I'm mumbling '19'...for awhile I was dissembling to the non-brokies...now I've decided they can just think me peculiar - I stopped 'justifying' around 9 viewings...

Paul/Montferrat, we are still at a 1:2 ratio!  I'm at (roughly) 20.

I've seen it 32 times in the theatres, and I'm just about to watch my DVD.  I will be back to the theatres this Thursday, and will keep seeing it in the theatres until it's gone.  (let's see if I can make it to 40...)

I have a lot of catching up to do, it seems.

8th time yesterday on Heaths birthday!

BTW, you can change your vote on here if you now fall into a new category.  Now that the DVD is out, I have a feeling that 30+ category is going to get higher.

This movie is going to be a cult favorite.  Rocky Brokeback Mountain Picture Show!

I saw it only two times in the theatre, and a third time when I got my DVD.  The DVD came on Thursday, and I resisted temptation and didn't watch it that night cuz I knew a friend was coming over to watch it with me Friday.

I saw it the first time December 30.  I couldn't bear going again until about 3 weeks later.  I remember posting (on IMDB) about my fears of seeing it a second time...  Brokeback Fever had hit me so hard:  walked around like a zombie, couldn't concentrate, would unexpectedly burst into tears, lost a lot of sleep.  And my fears came true:  my symptoms spiked after the second time.

How in the world could anyone stand so many viewings?!?  I wudda ended up institutionalized, for damned sure.

Update:  I am up to 35 theatre viewings.   

I've watched my DVD once, and will wait to do so again until it is completely gone from the theatres.
