How many times? (New version!)
serious crayons:
I notice that at the moment there are zero votes in the over-100 category, even though I happen to know there are some people who can claim that distinction. Maybe they just haven't visited this poll yet. But those of you to whom this applies, in the interest of scientific research, please vote (anonymously, if you choose ;))!
The count in the 51 to 100 category ain't what I'd hoped for, neither.
Daniel:
I own the DVD (actually three copies of it.), but I have yet to watch it completely on any of them, it is still a raw and deeply emotional experience for me (every moment of it), but it is even more meaningful when it is watched with other Brokies... I have seen the film a total of 28 times, counting seeing it in Atlanta, and at a Dallas Brokie get-together.
JT:
Well all right. I'll vote "more than 100". I was still visiting the "old version" and have not seen this one yet. But to be honest, I lost count after 90. I still can't recite it word-for-word but I know what they will say next.

Well hell, am I the only who will report being de-sentsitized by over-watching? :( Much to my dismay, that is the feeling I have, and I think I *only* watched it 30 or 40 times, (I wasn't counting). I saw it only one time on the big screen, and then I bought the DVD two days later. The second viewing clinched it for me, and I became an instant Brokaholic. I then watched it almost every night for about month, give or take. By the time I was warned not to desensitize myself, (by Amanda or Katherine, I forget who) it was already too late. And now I have weaned myself from watching it, but the overexposure has not dimmed. And I won't watch YouTube either, for that is a sure-fire way to kill the wonder of those captivating scenes. Anyway, not much I can do about it now....
Just for a treat I watched it again last week, after about a month of not seeing it, and it is still way to over-familiar to me. I don't know how I am ever gonna fix this problem.... Does anyone else feel this way about over-exposure, or am I the only one?? ???

I'm on the edge of it, Jane, so I'm trying to be really careful. And I've seen it "only" about 17 times (if you don't count bits and pieces on YouTube -- I'm not going to say how many of those ;D). I don't own it, I rent it, and watch it just once or twice while I have it. But I noticed that the past couple of times, I was feeling ever so slightly less engaged, a bit less emotional, and it scared me. So I am going to wait for a while before I rent it again.
It ain't all the movie's fault, though -- I think discussing the most minute nuances and details of every moment of the film for seven hours a day for the past nine months may have played a part. Not to mention thinking about it constantly over the same period.
