I will second that. I would LOVE for just one person close to me to get it.Not that anyone knocks it.In fact most I have introduced, think it's a pretty good movie.Not one however has developed the fixation I have. Well, one has but I am a very long way away from him.
It would give me such pleasure to have someone in flesh and blood who I could chatter away with about BBM.
My family humour me and I don't talk to friends about it anymore as they just glaze over.
I have had 2 brief respites ,when I could casually drop it into a conversation, one being the terrible events of Jan, and the other when TDK came out.

I had a moment like that with my mom.
Mom had seen the film with me, and knew of my Brokeback fixation. She couldn't understand the fact that I was so close to the people on the forums. She couldn't conceive that people could get close over the 'net.
One day, I got a package from Europe. A friend from the Netherlands sent me a copy of the DVD she made of the first BBM Backyard BBQ in Texas 2 years ago. I popped it in, and just at that moment Mom walked in. She sat down and watched the whole DVD with me.
It came time for the good byes, and she watched us all hugging and crying.....and I turned to mom, and she had tears running down her face. She looked at me and said:
"I wasn't even there, and I'm crying. I don't know how you all got through it. I get it now."
