Is there such a thing as overwatching?

I saw it seven times at the theatre (but I have watched it probably 50 times on DVD). Between you and me Littlewing, I think Universal made a bunch of money off the both of us! :)

You know, David, if I had the chance, I would have gone more often when it was still in theatres. I am a serious Brokie, for sure. And proud of it! ;)
Whenever I felt down, or a little anxious, I would drive all over town if I had to in order to find a place showing Brokeback. It was such fun watching the audience watch the movie!
I did receive a gift card for Christmas to the AMC cinemas, and the amount was generous. Even so, I used every cent of that gift card on brokeback. I even paid for others to see BBM, because I thought it was the right thing to do. So yes, Universal made the buck off myself and my daughter. She saw Brokeback in the theatres 10 times, often with me.

I know exactly what you mean. I'll watch it now and think, What, they have sideburns already? What, it's the divorce scene already? I can't believe how fast it goes -- maybe because after all this time discussing it I've really begun to FEEL those 20 years going by, and I can't adjust to having them pass in 134 minutes.
I also know what you mean about thinking of BetterMost stuff as you watch. It's a running commentary in my mind. Not only the serous analytical posts, but also (maybe especially) the funny ones. For instance, when Aguirre yells "no fucking way" into the phone, I always laugh out loud, thinking of the post on the "Brokeback slang" thread that translated his line as something like, "Absolutely not, you persistent individual!"
And when Ennis drives his truck up and parks under the "Laundromat Entrance in Front" sign, I always laugh thinking of the Cowboy Etiquette thread, and someone's (Ellemeno's?) post saying, "Always park your truck right under the 'entrance in front' sign, so everyone will know what entrance you REALLY like using." After all this time, that still makes me laugh.

At the "not queer - me neither" scene I always think about the Cowboy Etiquette thread, too. "Always keep your rifle handy when discussing your sexual orientation". :laugh:
And the last time in theatre was the first time I saw the charry cake while actually watching the movie.

I think I can overwatch the movie, but have not yet gotten to the point where I've been on-line with you wonderful folks for too long...

OMG! I do the same thing!!! Or sometimes I'll notice something and say ... "Hmmmm .. I have to remember that so I can discuss it on Bettermost." I am diseased with BBM. Should we start a BBM anonymous group? Except insead of trying to overcome the addiction, I say we feed on it even more! ;)
