Is there such a thing as overwatching?

Aw shucks Littlewing! I was hoping you would say that! :)
Actually I can't take credit for the "feed our addiction" phrase though, Diane said it first. It was hers. I thought it was cute too! :)

Welkom in Bettermost! Leuk u te ontmoeten! Jack en Ennis blijven Jack en Ennis in Nederland? Jake en Heath's stemmen? Geen nagesynchroniseer. Prima! :D
I am looking forward to reading your posts here on Bettermost! :)

Hey David, thanks! Nice to meet you, too.
Nee, geen nagesynchroniseer, goddank! - Where did you pick up your Dutch?
Still thinking what I want to do with my addiction - feed it, or let it fade... If letting it fade is possible. I suppose that deep inside I'm kinda hoping this cant be fixed, so I got to stand it...

If I would give up my BBM fix, I would have to say to all of you:
"You have no idea how bad it gets! I'm not you. I can't make it on a couple of high altitute discussions once or twice a year!" ;)

It can become like a road that's too well traveled, IMO. I have connected to this film unlike any other. Words fail me. I want to write a book on the feelings this film evokes, but I don't want to bore everybody. ;)
I did view BBM constantly the 1st two weeks I had the DVD (I did not catch the theatre release, Tucson is sort of provincial). Once I got over feeling heart-shot (to use an 'Annie-ism'), I could explore the relationship between Jack & Ennis a little more objectively. Now, for me, it's become like an old friend who has a new little subtlety to show me each time I see him.
I suppose one can overwtach the film and then it beomes ennui - yes, even BBM. So I watch it now about once a week. I still see parallels to BBM in my own life all the time, though. Sometimes it takes me by surprise and I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me and then I must see the film again to comfirm the connection.
Damn you, Ennis.
