Four (now FOURTEEN!) Effin' Years! How will you celebrate?
delalluvia:
I saw BBM on Dec 9th, I'm pretty sure, down here in Texas with an early screening free pass I got from Focus Films.
Can't believe it's been so long already....time flies...so much has happened. The world has changed all around us in ways we could not even have imagined. Legal gay marriages, a president NOT from the good ole boy school, women running for president and taken as serious contenders...the list goes on and on...
And even with BBM. Heath is almost two years gone, Jake still silent on his reaction but seemingly close to having his own family while Matilda grows up without her father. Anne has ditched her purveyor of religious property boyfriend (straight out of a Chaucer story) and is busy carving out a successful career while Randy Quaid is garnering more press as a nutjob.
No, no celebrations but will just be in deep awe at the changes time has wrought.

I'm thinking my first viewing was Thursday December 15-I knew nothing about the movie until hearing a review on the radio. I went that night, and 2 nights later and a week later and another week later.
Love is indeed a force of nature.
My Four effin' years tattoo has been designed and reviewed by a tattooer who told me it was too busy for where I wanted to put it. Design stays, placement needs rethinking.
The last tattoo.

Saw it on December 10 in Chelsea here in NYC with friends from livejournal who were squeeing about seeing A-list stars in a slash movie. I went along for the ride. Guess who became the Brokie? ;)

hehe I had a similar experience. I had a bunch of friends from LJ who were talking about BBM back in 06, mainly because it involved gay sex.
I didn´t go along for the ride, however.
It´s only been two effin´years for me. Or will be on January 22.
I watched it alone, in bed on my laptop. Illegally! :o
I remember it was pitch dark outside as well as in my bedroom. And afterwards it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach and I was left trying to figure out why.
Don´t know if I´ll celebrate. For obvious reasons, it´s a strange day to celebrate on. Maybe I´ll think a little extra on my plans on going back to Wyoming this summer and to drive the distance between Childress and Riverton. It´s my way of paying tribute to the story. Doesn´t hurt that I have fun doing it either. O0
Brokeback_Dev:
My first viewing of Brokeback Mountain was January 22, 2006 with my daughter at the Hollywood 18 Theatre in New Port Richey. I hadnt read the short story or saw any of the reviews. Something just attracted me to this movie about "gay cowboys" but I soon learned it was so much more. It was beautiful and sad. A true love story beyond boundries. I couldnt get enough of Brokeback Mountain and went back several times to see it until I got the dvd. I watched it everyday for at least a year. I immediately got involved in message boards like Bettermost, and soon made these non coincidental bonds with other brokies online and in person.
