why not jude? just curious...
Well, I seem to know and live around people who enjoy the movie now and again, but seem not as much 'affected' by actors/actresses/directors/shows/series as I am (can be). I mean, it's not silly infatuation (though I do like to 'meet' the actors when possible), but respect for what they do and who/what they represent. I'm sure a lot here are in the same situation were you can't share with your friends how much you are a fan, for fear of being looked at strange. I mean, at my age I'm supposed/expected to be serious and not running around chasing authographs, taking part in Brokie meetings or similar. I'm saying this, because I have had a couple of stupid remarks.
Anyway, I put Heath's Joker on the wall because it looks artistic (it's printed black and white but painted the mouth red..) and I have a few other things on the wall in my office. It's not all that bad. People do put pictures/posters on the wall in the office, but I think it would look odd if I'd put up a big picture of Heath, when others have calendars or their children's pictures on the wall. Anyway, it's probably also a bit a kind of protection against stupid questions and especially me having to explain who he is, what recently happened and why he's on my wall. I really don't want to have to reply to stupid questions. My cat is named Brokie and when people ask about the name and I explain its origin, I've had people looking at me weird. Some people don't know about BBM and seemed puzzeled or not interested in the end. And that's frustrating.
It's easier when you talk to someone who you know understands. I have one friend my age who's happy to 'go silly' sometimes, but that's it.
It's so good to have BM and the Brokies!
