Four (now FOURTEEN!) Effin' Years! How will you celebrate?
Penthesilea:
I saw it on Tue, March 21st 2006, I still have the ticket stub. I had somehow heard of the movie, read good reviews and was mildly interested. Then I saw a report about it, and another one about the reactions to the movie from people in Wyoming in an arts magazine. That was when I decided to see the movie.
I went with a friend (who wasn't a friend back then, "only" an aquaintance). I came out of the movie, saying "That was something completely different. I've never seen anything like it." Like so many others, I didn't know what had hit me. I didn't cry till two days later, when I saw a denim shirt of my husband hanging at the closet door. A picture so similar to The Shirts in BBM. That was when I ran for the bathroom and cried.
My friend and I went back to see the movie again, something I had never done before in my life. And then again, and again ....
We both became Brokies, and close friends.
How will I celebrate? As every year, I will watch the movie around that time, not necessarily on the exact date. On the date itself, I will just raise my glass to Ennis and Jack.

Every year I go hiking & sure enough I must make that one stop in canmore to "embrace" the celebration, even after 4 years.

December 09th, 2005: It opened in three theatres in the country. (Or was it five, I can't remember). The Embarcadero Cinema in SF even did a midnight show Thursday night, unheard of for an art house film!
I remember a co-worker of mine who loves movies drove to the Embarcadero Cinema in San Francisco that day to see it right away the first matinee, and she said it was a madhouse, with lines around the theatre and all shows for the day were sold out.
I was running a movie social group at the time in the East Bay area, and it opened in the East Bay the following week on December 16th, 2005. We saw it that opening night. I had about 80 members of my movie club in attendance. We sort of took over that California Theatre in Berkeley, where mind you it was playing on all three of their three screens. :D
After the movie I was so choked up it was hard for me to continue to play "host" to the group afterwards. (Our tradition was to go out to eat or go to the local watering hole for cocktails and socializing after seeing movies.) But I made it through it. The next day I went back to see it (at a different theatre) and saw it twice in a row, and the rest is history...
