Is there such a thing as overwatching?

I am always so happy when I see this movie affected straight people as much as it affected many gay people! :)
Thank you for posting this.

You bet, David. The love I witnessed between Jack and Ennis just seems so right! It seems natural, authentic!

I'm sorry!
But I am an EXCELLENT matchmaker! I'm not quite sure what I can do since we live on opposite sides of the Atlantic, but I sure will try!
Anything for a fellow Dutchman! :)

David, I really appreciate that! I look forward to receiving your first transatlantic shipment... ;) I do have a VERY small front garden, so please no more than 12 candidates at a time.
It's a comfort to know, too, that despite the state this country is in of late, some Dutch still stick together...

I think I got to the point where I needed to slow down. I was watching the movie EVERYDAY and like some of you mentioned, I realized that I wasn't always paying attention to what was going on later in my viewings. This isn't to say I still don't watch it multiple times in a week though!! :)
No matter how many times I was watching it thought it always made me cry ... a lot! And it still does and now that I'm spreading out my viewing times a little better I think I'm catching a lot more of the smaller details. I'm noticing paintings on the wall and who's petting the dogs etc. Each time I watch the movie its like opening a christmas present. I'm so excited to see what's inside. If I make myself wait a little longer in between viewings the present gets a little bigger :)

I still haven't gotten to the place where I can skip one day. I feel so compelled to watch it! I almost go into withdrawals if I even consider skipping one day. I have also gotten the CD and today I listened to it all day long while at work (literally over and over). There are two songs on there that are killer … lyrics by Bernie Taupin (wrote with Elton John for years) … “A Love That Will Never Grow Old” and “I Don’t Want to Say Goodbye”. You can tell those songs were written for BBM! LOVE THEM!!! Listen to the words … it adds so much to the BBM experience (IMO).

Wow, Diane! I envy your many viewings. I wanted to put it on an hour ago but was overruled! ??? I'm lucky to see my beloved brokeback once a month. I agree with you about the soundtrack. I particularly love "The maker makes!"
