Anyone unable to watch BBM stars in other films?
Br. Patrick:
I don't know what it is but I can't handle watching Heath, Jake, Michelle or Anne in ANYTHING other than Brokeback Mountain! I bought the DVD “The Day After Tomorrow” as a demo for my new Surround Sound system, but had to give it away because Jake played Dennis Quaid’s son. And I Really like Dennis Quaid! I felt like something was wrong- like I was in a parallel universe or something. The same thing has happened with Digital Cable (Showtime) and films showing Heath in medieval garb dancing a minuet and another with him as a heroin addict! Or seeing Michelle in some other film that I had to turn off immediately because all I could think of was her crying by the Apartment window when she sees Ennis and Jack take off for the mountains after the 4 year reunion.
I can only hope for the best for their careers in film but for me it will only be Brokeback Mountain that I will be able to watch them in. It’s like they belong there. That film has become so real to me!
I am wondering if this is just me or is anyone else experiencing the same phenomena?
Confused and Curious ??? and more than a little bit crazy..

I'm pretty much the same way Bud. I just chalk it up to an unusual symptom of Brokie fever.
Lynne:
I had this problem for the first year or so after the film - I didn't watch much at all besides BBM - but I seem to be past it now. I enjoyed watching Heath in CANDY and Jake in ZODIAC. Once in awhile, I can 'glimpse' Ennis in Heath's performance or likewise Jack in Jake's, but it gives me feelings of love and fondness instead of feeling betrayed somehow...Just my own two cents...

Edited to add - I definitely don't think this is crazy, though. I think we're all on different schedules with our healing after BBM.

I agree with everything Lynne said, Patrick. It was and is just the same for me.

He he. Last week I watched A Knight's Tale, and suddenly, there was a facial expression of Heath and I was like "OMG, there's Ennis!" :laugh:
I also enjoy these brief glimpses.

Both Zodiac & Candy are now playing on Showtime.. but I can't look, I just can't... Jack & Ennis live in my mind, and their wives too. I don't think I want to get past this. I want them to stay with me all ways.. :-\
I love "The Wizard of Oz" and think Judy's Dorothy is incomparable. But I love her other films and tv show too. Very wierd feeling ???
