Why is that Scott? I feel exactly the same way. After a few viewings, I found myself looking around the theater and trying to read a few of the faces around me.. Even in work, I wanted those idiots, I mean people to love it as much as me..

Okay, another irrational reaction to BBM:
The first time I saw the film, my mind was completely taken over by images of Jack and Ennis; scenes were playing left and right.. I felt like I was losing it. To add to that, I wanted to be left alone, I needed time to think, time to myself, time to reflect on somethings ... I even lost my appetite at one point, I felt like I was going insane! The friday after that first viewing, I was supposed to meet up with friends, cancelled those plans and stayed home!..thinking :-\. Then the following Saturday and Sunday, I went back and saw the film again. It was abit wierd, the way I was feeling seemed pretty "out there" because I hadn't felt this way about another movie. I gradually accepted my addiction, but that first week was something else ;D
Well, all is well that ends well right? 8)
twistedude:
The most irrational thing I ever DID was to wear my "You know, friend, this is a goddamned bitch of a unsatiusfactory situaltion" shirt to the Asian Art Museum to give an architecture tour...I was so MAD that I hadn't been able to get a March 10 Variety at the biggest magazine store in the Bay Area (they didn;'t DELIVER any) at 7:15 A.M.--I didn't change my shirt. The people on my tour loved it, but the honchos got, er, a little upset...
NOT crying at any viewing of Brokeback, but weeping loudly all the way through Jeff's "Some Sweet Life."

DeeDee,
I guess it's because we want others to feel as strongly about something as we do, to be as moved, to take is as personally. I used to pretend not to care when someone would walk out of Brokeback, or groan about how long it was, or say, "Is that all there is to it?" at the end. But really, I was as hurt as if I'd made the movie myself.
It's fun to share something we love deeply with others. I'm still offended that one of my best friends never went to see BBM with me in the theatre, preferring to wait until the DVD came out.

Yeah, my best friend saw it and when I asked her if she wanted to go again, she said "it's not worth another 8 bucks.." like a knife in my heart.
I tell ya, I send up a prayer of thanks for this board, or I think I would go nuts and I know divorce would also be in my future.
