It's been three weeks now folks... My boyfriend has hidden the DVD for me... he's not very good at hiding things, though!

How often do I think about the movie now? Not as much as I did after I first saw it, but more than any moive I have ever seen in the past, for sure. I still come here to talk about it months after seeing it. ;)

I wonder if old-timers around here (or long-term Brokies in general) might feel different about the answer to this question now? For me, the shocking thing is that my answer is pretty much exactly the same as it was back a year ago. I think about BBM once in a while throughout the day (and definitely everyday). It continues to amaze me how much this movie, and now this community of Brokies too, have come to be part of my life. The initial excitement of "Brokie-fever" is over, but my love and need for the film/story haven't gone away or dissipated at all.... just changed into something more comfortable and familiar... like basic parts of my life now. Amazing.
serious crayons:
My original answer was "almost constantly," which was true back then. Now it has become "on and off throughout the day" -- especially if I count thinking about this website and my relationships with people here as well as the movie itself.
Malina once wrote a really good post on imdb comparing Brokie fever to religion. She talked about how at first you're like a new convert, almost overwhelmed by it. That all-consuming passion eventually settles down, but it becomes an ingrained and permanent part of your outlook, changing you forever.
She put it better, but that was the general idea, and that seemed exactly right. :)

Off and on throughout the day
Yep. I think about the movie, the characters, the book, the actors, or some aspect of Brokeback Mountain daily. I think it's ingrained now--which is a good thing. :)
