...Man I really need to get cable someday.

I never had any interest in C&W music. I'm a guitarist and prefered the electric stuff.

Since BbM, I bought my first 6 string acoustic in 20 years and have been practicing all of Santaolalla's instrumentals. Also picked up a harmonica and have been stuggling to get a tune out of that (not as easy as it looks). Lately I've been pricing banjo's to complete my transformation from a rocker to a C&W/bluegrass picker.

Well I too have new interests cause of this whole BBM phenomenon.  I've never went on forums before...now I'm past a 100 posts...that's a miracle for me!  Never cared about going to movie shoots-even when they shot The Unforgiven in Alberta but with BBM I've been obsessed with taking pics/visiting scenes.  And most of all I respect gay people more than ever, not cause of the movie itself but talking to actual gay people on here and DC forum.  Amazing what a movie has done to so many people.  And I thought Star Wars was THE big thing! ;D

Front-Ranger:
That's great horo!

One of the many things I'm doing differently: I'm really looking forward to going to the Denver International Film Festival this year. I missed it last year, including the showing of BBM with appearance by Ang Lee, for the dumbest reason. I couldn't get anyone to go with me. But this year, I'm going by myself if necessary:

Before BbM, I could enjoy mediocre movies.  Now, if it doesn't move me and change me in some way, it's been a waste of my time.  I still love movies in general and go to see them at the theater as often as possible, even when I know they'll probably disappoint me.  But I haven't loved a movie like Brokeback since Brokeback.  And movies that I used to be able to find mildly entertaining irritate me now if they don't stay with me.

I have high hopes for a movie coming out soon called "Sweet Land."  It's reported to be one of the most beautiful, lyrical films made in a long time, about Norwegian (I think) immigrants in rural Minnesota in the 1920s who are in an arranged marriage and slowly and beautifully come to truly love one another.  I've always been interested in films about rural life - something about that theme of isolation and dependency on the land and nature always strikes a chord.  And I'm really looking forward to seeing "The Queen" this weekend.  But so far, I've seen everything that's worth seeing out there, and they've all fallen flat to varying degrees with me.

Oh, and I used to be an Academy Awards aficionado and enthusiast (is that redundant?) and they're dead to me now.

Damn you, Brokeback!

Actually, thank you, Brokeback.  I like the person I am now a lot more than I liked the one I was a year ago, and I think it's in large part because of you.
