Hello Yahoo! Search Engine User:

Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your day to come and drop by for a visit.

It isn't often that someone clicks on a web ad only to discover that we're not asking for your money or to buy anything.  Members of our online community have kicked in some contributions in our effort to try and spread the word that there are thousands of people just like you whose lives have been profoundly affected by the film Brokeback Mountain.

Whether you first saw the movie in theaters a year ago, viewed the DVD several months back, or have just found the movie for the first time in the past few weeks on Home Box Office or another premium movie channel, chances are you are on a journey to discover as much as you can about why this movie is making you feel the way you do right now.

We've all been there and understand what you're going through.

BetterMost invites you to join our small town online community, made up of people who are sharing what they've learned about the movie and themselves.  Our site was created not only to gather movie fans together, but to suggest that you can use the movie as a catalyst for making positive changes in your own life -- to stop missing opportunities, to make sure you never sit 20 years from now pondering what could have been if you only took a chance.  Our users are building long lasting friendships to help support one another as we move forward in our lives.

Annie Proulx, author of the original short story, put it best when she said:

"It is my feeling that a story is not finished until it is read, and that the reader finishes it through his or her life experience, prejudices, world view and thoughts."
