Welcome Youngdoe, adamblast, doodler, forsythia12, and HeathandMichelle!  We here at BetterMost are family and it is so good to see our wonderfuly family expand and old friends returning at this time of mutual need.  Although it is such a sad time, it has given a whole new dimension to being a part of BetterMost.

Dear friends,

I wish I could spend more time here this week, but my Dad passed away on Monday night, less than 24 hours before Heath.  I'll mostly be away from BM until early next week.  My thoughts are with everyone here at this very sad time.

Bob -

My sincere condolences on your Dad's passing. 

Thank you again for helping us all with Finding Broakback.

Hi guys, I am new here. Found about this board through imdb. I am extremely sad about Heath, I am still heart broken over his death. He was a beautiful beautiful person, inside and outside, and I cant believe we will never seen him in a movie again after the dark knight. I dont want to blame anyone or anything for his death, and I hope he died of natural causes and did not suffer! He is an angel in heaven now and I feel at peace because I saw him in my dream watching me sleep a couple of nights ago. He has been on my mind non stop and I miss him so much! His memory will carry on. RIP heath. We love you! xoxo

Thank you atz75 and ptannen for you warm welcomes.   I am still in schock and still hurting as we all are.   I felt a ray of hope, however, when I heard Daniel Day-Lewis's tribute to Heath at  the SAG awards. I saw it on a replay on one of the news shows.   I have always regarded DDL  as the finest of actors.   The fact that he so appreciated Heath's work in BBM  and expressed this, made me think that maybe people who had not viewed BBM might now view it because of Daniel's statement. I really don't know if this is the case, but who can say?
Maybe  something positive could come from this terrible trajedy, if more people can share the experience of BBM---Youngdoe

A very warm welcome to our community at Bettermost, Youngdoe.  I share you feelings of shock and hurt over Heath's passing.  Very sad...

As to people rediscovering this movie, I looked at Amazon.us and found that Heath now has 5 movies in the top 50 this week.  "10 Things I Hate about You", "A Knight's Tale", "The Brothers Grimm", "Brokeback Mountain", and "Candy".  It looks like people will be going back and discovering many of this wonderful young actor's various performances. 

On IMDb, I am also seeing a resurgence of the usual questions from first time BbM viewers...
