Anyone want another sweet 'cry'?
juneaux:
Anyone know the average price of pre-ordering the DVD? Not that it matters...
iristarr:
My local Borders is charging 29.95. Kind of a big gulp for my budget, but I guess I gotta swallow it, right? Iris

Hi everyone! I'm Courtney. I'm a refugee from IMDb, so I've mostly been in the Chez Tremblay forum, but I thought I'd venture out into the rest of the BetterMost neighborhood. (I already posted on the 'Introduce Yourself' thread.)
I usually have no problem crying. My friends make fun of me for my overactive tear glands. Usually it's just getting tears in my eyes really easily when I laugh, but I also get teary easily about emotional things (but I can hold them back if I want to). I haven't cried a single time in all the 17 times I've seen the movie. I feel like I want to, but tears just don't come. I don't know why, they just don't.
I've seen it with friends on two separate occasions, and with my mom once. They all thought it was "really good," but simply did not appreciate it on the same level I (and everyone else here) did, so I've seen it 13 times alone. I was lucky enough to see it with two others from our Chez Tremblay family who live in my area, and I really liked that. It just felt sort of peaceful to see it with people who understand. Seeing it alone is much better than seeing it with people who don't understand, but I really liked seeing it with people who do.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome you've given all of us from IMDb!

Welcome, Courtney! We're glad to have you. Thanks for posting. I think this is going to be a more dynamic place because the 'refugees'.
Wow...you've seen the movie 17 times! Devoted. I haven't had a good cry in my viewings either - more along the liness of some suppressed elephant trying to escape my stomach and lots of mental gyrations that won't subside. The ride home for me has been the most emotional time...not crying again, but more in touch with myself - like finishing some 2 week yoga retreat (not that I've ever done that).
Like you, I've never found people I know in my personal life for whom the movie speaks. And I've not seen it with any internet friends -I live in the middle of nowhere (we must work on that map) - but what a blessing to find this board! My first thought was that I had found a safe home where I was understood. Maybe I'll get the experience of seeing with some brokies one day? I had this vision of a bunch of us in a bus (grateful dead style) touring second run movie houses years from now following Brokeback Mountain :-)
Welcome, again..thanks for being here.
-Lynne
