Oh, beautiful,  beautiful! I've sent it to all my sympathetic friends.  Between that and the BBM desktop Phillip linked me to, I feel much more complete this afternoon. Just as long as I can remain surrounded by reminders of the BBM phenomenon, I should be OK to go on. Good wishes to all ... Iris

Oh Nancy, I thought I was "ok" with this, but this video doesn't help at all.

Yes this made me cry, but how do you get angry, I just don't have the strength?

I didn't get angry either...Chris.  The sender did.  I just got more numb as it unfolded.  But I cried buckets!!  Just as you think you're kind of getting over that hump....it gets ya again.  Brokeback got us good....don't it?

Wow,
I didn't expect the link to make it all the way across the internet.

I originally made that video, and I hope you all liked it.
This was out of pure support for the cast and crew.
Just to let you know, there is a new, final video you can download on this webpage (for those who want to keep it):

Or view it directly on youtube.com:

That same video is being sent to Focus Features on DVD, to the attention of the Brokeback team.

Hey jloowi, stunning work.  The Shawshank theme works really well with the quotes and the BBM stills, crescendo and all.

Loving it, keeping it, treasuring it!

Don't be surprised.  There is a tightknit group of Brokeback supporters who spread links out like wildfire.  Good work on the tribute and thanks for coming by and giving us updated links!

That is truly beautiful--but why do we need Shawshank Redemption music?
I thought the BBM music was...pretty good (undertstaement of ther year!)
I like the ad in Variety, because so many contributed to it (including, of course, ME):

You have to click on it to make it big (still don't know why--space saver, I guess)
