Thats how I found IMDb and I liked it until the troll attacks. they can get out of hand in their insults! There was a post there about BetterMost and so I decided to check it out. So here I am you can tell that I have only been here a couple days and have made only a few posts but everyone here has been very nice and I love the threads.

Hey... welcome aboard. One more post and you are out of the "tourist" category. :) Everyone was a tourist once, including me. I really love the fact the community here is growing and I appreciate seeing new faces posting messages and joining in. Sometimes it might look like there is some sort of clique here, but I have found the "way in" is to just start participating. After all, we were all probably strangers to one another six months ago.
As BetterMost continues to evolve, I am beginning to see it broaden into a social networking site where friends meet friends based first on the fact we are all totally freaked out by the movie, we discuss every little detail of it, and if/when the obsession subsides, there will still be some reasons to be here to talk to one another about whatever is on our minds and how we are doing on our journey to finish the story.
Brokeback Myspace without the child predators. :)
Most of all, don't worry about making a mistake. I have managed to delete my own messages on here in the early days by mistake, and I run the site! :)

Hey there:
I am a newbie to this wonderful message-board, having only joined tonight. Previously I was at IMDB for the past month, since I just saw BBM for the first time on April 13th. I have been enraptured ever since. After seeing the movie I was stunned for about a day, and went to IMDB to clear up some of the questions I had (what did he say at the end? How did Jack die? and I didn't even realize that the flashback was a flashback until I watched it again). I had gone to see it in the theatre the very last day it was playing, and then all the next day, which was Good Friday, I could not stop thinking about it... I could hardly stand to wait until the next day when the stores were open again so I could buy the DVD.
I have had Brokeback Fever ever since, I have not watched any other TV in weeks, (why am I even paying for cable TV these days?) I have not kept up with my favorite show the Apprentice, all I have done about that is tape the episodes, I don't even know who is left. I work, come home, read the boards, watch BBM, sleep, read the boards, think about BBM duning my long commute back and forth, etc. It is an addiction!
At first I was inconsolable that they would not be together, JACK'S DEAD!!! How terrible! Then I was enraptured by the sweet love story side of it, and how yummy-delicious both Jake and Heath are in the movie, but lately in the past day or two -- and this is blending what AP wrote in her story with the movie, plus a LOT of wisdom from fellow posters -- I am thinking that the main theme of the story is about Ennis not accepting his attraction to Jack, more than it is a pure love story. The lines in the story after the flashback ---- well this could turn into a major essay, so I will save it for the boards. Anyway hello to y'all, and are you guys keeping the same monnikers you had over at IMDB? I know I have appreciated many of the regular posters' posts. I can't reel the names off, but I will be looking for them!

PS: buy the full screen version, it shows more stuff at the bottom of the screen!

LOL! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Well, you've come to the right place. Welcome!
About the full screen version... I was in Barnes and Noble today and there was this big fancy, lovely display of BBM stuff (DVDs, soundtrack, Proulx books, and even a big special cardboard stand to hold it all). Of course, my little heart was touched by all this. I noticed that the DVD cover is now much improved by the removal of the cheesy white border and Oscars reference. I already have all of the items on that display (widescreen DVD, soundtrack, books, etc.) but I felt an overwhelming urge to buy something anyway. I felt almost guilty walking by without buying something. Sad, I know. So, now I have an excuse! Maybe I'll go back and buy a full screen edition.
::)
I have heard others around here mention that there are details that get cut off at top and bottom margins in the widescreen edition.
