How often do you think about Brokeback Mountain?
David In Indy:
I think about Brokback Mountain all the time.... and watch it at least 3 or 4 times a week. I have been known to watch it 3 times a day, but not very often.
I am to the point where I can pretty much watch the movie in my head. I did this last night when the power went out.
Pretty bad, huh?? :o
Lynne:
I saw your post, David, about the power outage and playing the movie in your mind. I wanted to comment there but now I've lost it; anyhow, it's just phenomenal that you can do that. I don't think I could review the entire film in one sitting that way - not because of lack of knowledge, per se, but more lack of attention span on my part.
I do listen to the soundtrack before bed and sometimes review my most comforting scenes - usually the bucolic drive of the sheep up the mountain or the 'sweet life' campfire scene (omitting Ennis' Earl and Rich memory of course). Some of these have become meditations for me.
And there's the way the movie characters have infiltrated my internal dialogue, thinking of my 'inner Jack' or 'inner Ennis', and so forth.

Hi Lynne! It certainly comes in handy when there is no electricity (which sometimes happens here in Indiana. We get some pretty big thunderstorms out here). But it is really more visual. I guess I don't really hear all the words. I guess I SEE it in my mind, more than I HEAR it. (I have troubles remembering exactly what the characters say in certain parts of the movie). I really don't want to make it out to be more than it is. I'm sure there are others who can do it, but I sure did surprise myself the other night. It surprised me that I could pretty much SEE the movie visually from beginning to end. But Brokeback Mountain is over 2 hours long in length, and when I watched the movie in my mind, it only took about 45 minutes. So you can see what I mean! But it sure helped to pass the time while I waited for the electricity to come back on. :)

Most of the time..it's nice to havesomeone to think with, it is.

I'm a on and off throughout the day girl. Like everyone else though the smallest things can trigger a BBM moment for me. Especially old trucks, for some reason - if I see an old, rugged, country truck BBM automatically pops into my head!
