luigival:
I liked your synopsis David, and it made me think how really people can reconsider things after having seen the content of the box.
Your letter brought me back to where it all started for me, that Saturday evening in September of 2005, when having dinner at my neighbours, our landlady was quite surprised and shocked to see the Golden Lion award going to "that gay cowboy movie".
Now that she has seen BBM - in February this year it was aired almost daily on Sky TV here in Italy - she has told me how much she has appreciated this beautiful and delicate story, and only had words of praise for it.
Good to know that BBM still has this phenomenal effect on people.

By the way, as Front-Ranger would have said "..where the hell you been Luigival?". As usual, here and there, is my reply, making myself heard every few ...ing weeks/months. Sorry, I know it ain't an excuse, but life's becoming more and more hectic for me these days...

...and not knowing when I'll be able to check these pages again, Happy Easter - or, as we say in Italy, Buona Pasqua - to all of you.

Luigi

Front-Ranger:
Great to see you luigival! I'm getting used to your absences now that I know you will not forget us!! If I miss you, I will just go put on my Italian jeans, LOL! I may have to plan an Italian vacation, now that I know Brokeback Mountain airs every day there!! I would love to hear Ennis and Jack speaking Italian! I have an Italian friend that works with me, and I brought in the song lyrics for an Il Divo song and made him translate the words, and then say the lyrics in Italian over and over!! Now, he sort of is avoiding me!! I wonder why!

Buona Pasqua to you too! Thank God it's spring!!

luigival:
Ciao Front! A presto...spero. And don't try to kill your Italian friend with the Italian text!
Luigi

Front-Ranger:
Hi, Luigi! I'm watching the Gyro d'Italia and your beautiful island of Sardinia is featured! I wonder are you there watching the race?

My men thought this would be a special Mother's Day treat for me to watch the Gyro!!  ::)

Is it really true that the racers have to swim to the mainland with the bikes on their backs? That's what my husband and son told me!!

luigival:
Of course Front-Ranger, your men are right... Racers have to swim their way back to the mainland, that's part of the fun (for the onlookers)!
Glad you watched the Giro d'Italia and its Sardinian part, and sorry for me not having travelled to Bettermost before, in order to reply in a more timely way, but you know, I always wander here and there before getting  back to the places where my soul belongs...
Very busy these times, with everyday's life almost having me forgetting - but just almost! - the lessons of BBM...
By the way the movie is still being featured in HD (High Definition) on Sky TV here in Italy, and will run once more next Tuesday, just after Casanova. For Heath's fan, that would be a double treat.
Ciao and looking to see you in Sardinia!
Luigi
