Thanks for that wonderful post, Phillip! Yesterday was my 1st Brokeback Mountain anniversary. I went to see it on the day that it opened in Germany, on March 9th 2006 in Fulda, which is a 45 minutes drive from where I live. Still got some of the old cinema tickets!
I had read some very good reviews beforehand and remember visiting the IMDB message boards after the Oscar debacle, thinking: well, all these people are exaggerating a little, aren't they? They are taking this way to seriously.
And then I saw the movie myself...
The next day, I created my pipedream account and started to participate in the discussions. Wow, and what a year this has been. Brokeback got us good, I guess.
