Is there such a thing as overwatching?

I've probably said this already on this thread, but after seeing it eight times in theaters, I went two months without watching it (though fortified by frequent visits to YouTube). When I finally did it was like ... well, not my first time exactly, but maybe like my second or third time.
Then I watched it a bunch more, so I'm up to about 15. Now I'm taking another hiatus -- even mostly staying away from YouTube! -- and am hoping that in the fall when I watch it again, I'll recapture the magic of, oh, the sixth or seventh time!
:D

Okay ... I'm clueless. Fill me in on YouTube! What is it?
I still can't take a hiatus. I'm just not there yet. It still hits me like the first time I saw it.

Do you mean what is YouTube in general, or what clips on YouTube are BBM related? In answer to the first, it's a site where people can post their own videos. Some are amateurish, but many are quite good.
As for BBM, a lot of them are clips from the movie mixed around and set to music, like a music video. It sounds schlocky, and in a way I guess it is, but some are surprisingly compelling. A few I have watched many times. (Yet another thing that a year ago I would never have believed I'd ever be doing.) Then there are various BBM-related things like awards ceremonies and stuff.
One classic is simply four scenes from the movie stitched together. It's called "4 Nights in 20 Years," and it's the two tent scenes, plus the motel scene, plus the final night campfire scene. It really helped get me through that 2-month hiatus. If you could wear grooves in a website by overwatching a video ... ;)
If you're interested, let me know and I'll post a few links.

Please post a few links. I know about Youtube but haven't had a chance to watch . A link or two would be greatly appreciated! :)

You know, there was a period of time I don't think I could have survived without the "4 nights in 20 years", and another one with the Reunion clip. "4 nights......" has more than 60,000 views recorded by now and a fair share of those has to be mine.
I'll be curious to see if the other links to music videos etc. that will be posted are the same ones I used to play, too. :)
