Four (now FOURTEEN!) Effin' Years! How will you celebrate?
southendmd:
"Damn, four years..."
As we count down to the fourth anniversary of BBM (yes, fourth), let us know when exactly your personal anniversary is, and how you plan to celebrate.
Did anyone see the film on the release date of December 9, 2005? (NY, LA, SF, I believe.)
Limited release started December 16, and then it just kept on growing, around the country and around the world.
southendmd:
I'll go first.
I saw BBM on opening night in Boston, Friday, December 16, 2005 at the beautiful Art Déco Coolidge Corner Theatre. I was a complete and utter BBM virgin, never having read the story, never having read a review, never having even seen the trailer. Heath? That jousting rocker? Jake who? It's a good thing I carry a handkerchief.
December 16 this year is a Wednesday, and, I gotta work. I think I'll simply curl up with a Broketail and watch the film at home.
Quick reminder: The Broketail, the BBM-inspired cocktail born this June in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
~Canadian whisky of your choice
~A dash of cherry liqueur
~Add a lemon twist
~Serve over ice, add a splash of soda and voilà!

wow, what a beautiful theatre.
Celebrating and remembering with a Broketail and the movie, sounds like a good way to do it, Paul.
Watching the movie with other Brokies sure is fun, but I often find that watching Brokeback is something I prefer to do alone.

I saw Brokeback Mountain on January 22, 2006 (a rainy Sunday matinee) at a theater in Nashville. So my anniversary date isn't hard to remember, given events two years later. :'(
I went back several times in the next two weeks, frequently sneaking out of work around 4 so I could catch a 4:30ish matinee...the theaters in Huntsville, AL were virtually empty.
Running up until the Oscars, I saw it for the last time alone at a theater in Murfreesboro. That was viewing #19. After that, the DVD came out and we started having get-togethers and I stopped counting viewings.
January 22 falls on a Friday this year. Maybe I'll go skiing, take my DVD along for a private showing, and I can say 'Why is it we're always in the cold?'
:)

This is six months premature, but I happened to be strolling down Memory Lane through my old posts tonight, for probably the first time in three and a half effin' years. Here's my first surviving post on BetterMost

I mean, I love the movie completely. I think about it constantly. I watch the good YouTube videos over and over. I enjoy spending time on these boards. But ...
... what is it with me that I have spent two and a half MONTHS thinking constantly -- and I do mean constantly -- about a movie that only lasts 134 minutes? Two and a half YEARS from now, do I really want to be thinking constantly about the same 134 minutes of celluloid? If not, how do I get from point A to point B?
I feel very Ennis-like about all this. My love is genuine, but it kind of freaks me out. Some of you more Jack-like people may be impatient with my self-doubting attitude, but there it is. It's a goddam bitch of an unsatisfactory situation, because what do I do about it? Move to Wyoming and start a little cow-and-calf operation? :-\ :-\ :-\
Anyway, I'm so happy to know you guys and remember that I'm not the only one who's like this.
