It's never too late, Ladyeve. And don't be shy about asking us questions here. Many of us are more than happy to reiterate our findings about this beautiful film.
I watched it for my 24th time last night, and as I said in another thread, damned if I didn't find something new I'd never seen/thought about before.
It never gets old. I've managed to make myself sick of movies I've loved in the past by watching them over and over again in short succession. The most I ever got to before was 11 (5 in the theater and 6 on DVD) until that happened. I am not sick of this one yet. It's looking like I'm never going to be. But I do try to space out my viewings a bit, now, so as to keep it somewhat fresh.
So ask away!
And make yourself at home. It's very comfy and cozy here.
I'm in Florida, by the way. Nice to know you, Lady Eve.

I live in NYC. I hope I don't seem silly, or asking a lot of goofy questions, I just watched BBM , alone, because my boyfriend absolutely refused to watch it with me, (something to consider before I take the plunge, not open minded), It was like asking him to drink draino or something. Well anyway, After watching it twice, I had so many questions, thoughts, feelings, there are things I want know, and talk to people who are also interested in this topic. the struggle between love, fear, acceptance, and need. WoW this film opens up a range of emotions that touches us one way or the other in whatever relationship we have. So here I am a little late in the game.

I feel for you, Ladyeve. My husband STILL refuses to watch the movie and it's been almost a year!! But I have made some progress--last nite he went with me to a party where he met many of my Brokie friends and now, hopefully, he won't think I'm hanging out with a large group of axe murderers!
Sheriff Roland:
I'm a teacher in a catholic school - they all know I'm a brokie (well they heard me talkin bout it often 'nough)
Well this past Wednesday, the superintendent was visitin our school & (we've been aquainted fer 18 years) she asked what was new! I answered that I was a brokie! The staff - sittin around the lunchroom tables, collectively raised their eyes in their sockets! The superintendent asked what I was talkin 'bout - was pretty funny really. Mostly the staff helped explain that the term comes from a combination a Brokeback Mountain & trekky
The fact that I live in Canada & that I'm just a little over a year away from retirement allows me ta be more open - though nothing about my sexual orientation is ever mentioned.
Had an obligation shortly thereafter - so I didn't persue that conversation too far (had other complaints ta bring up too - while I had her attention)
Not everyone on staff has seen the movie, but many have (including about half the male personnel) with varyin degrees a reactions - I'm the only brokie though

Hey Ladyeve,
I know exactly how you feel, I came here late, I first saw BBM about six weeks ago and I haven't stopped thinking of it and I only been here at BetterMost a few weeks. I understand exactly how you feel about the questions and wanting and needing to talk more.
Welcome!!!
(P.S. We're neighbors!!!!)
