Is there such a thing as overwatching?

I sure don't blame IT! I want to protect IT from predator loss. :-\
Then again, I guess that's what Ennis said, and look what happened ... :'(

For me personally, I think there could be such a thing as overwatching if I would see it every day or three times a week.
So far, I've seen it 8 or 9 times completely and 2 or 3 times the first part (one time I stopped when they got down the mountain, the other time at the divorce-scene in the court room, couldn't bear to see the post-divorce scene).
Since I know BBM for three months now, it makes an averarge of less than once a week.
I never FF any scenes and I can't bring myself to put in the DVD just to check one or two scenes for details. I think this would wear it out to me. If I want to check certain details, I search screencaps on my PC.
I'm still totally blown away with every viewing and I want it to stay like this.

Replace "sometimes" with "every time" and that's me :)

Okay guys ... I am beyond crazy. I have literally watched this film at least once a day since it came out on DVD. I am still not tired of it. I keep trying to quit my addiction ... it's not working. Someone asked me today to try to go one day without watching it. I nearly hyperventilated! I'm pathetic, I know.

No more so than the rest of us. Our viewing habits may vary, but we are all more or less equally obsessed.

I am something of a novelty as I haven't watched the film part yet of the DVD *gasp* I am one of those people that has to have the right circumstances & one of those is to be alone in the house as I have decided at least for my first couple of viewings. This is rare, so also gives me a good excuse to put it off! But when it did occur a while back I had it all planned out but then got into the extra features & had enough of a reaction from those I just couldn't face the film. On one hand I have wanted to watch it lots & been curious to check out the symbolism etc but on the other I have been fearful of another episode of post-viewing trauma. Y'all seem to have survived & now my desire to see it & curiosity is outweighing the trepidation so it will be soon!
In fact, it may be this w/e. Of course I have made a big thing of it now so am anticipating all kinds of angsty reactions & will need to ensure I have plenty of red wine & chocs available! I also have my loooooong mental list of things to look out for but have not yet decided whether to watch straight through or stop & pause. Probably would have to be the former or I would be for days on end. I would love to have the support of a fellow Brokie to watch with but alas I don't see that happening so I'll rely on the red wine & chocs instead! I might come running on here for cyber support afterwards though!
