I remember sunmoonstars, Daniel! I liked your posts. Glad you're here.
I saw Brokeback in late January and started desperately scouring the internet the next day -- rottentomatoes, the official movie site, etc. I had long used imdb as a reference source, but it didn't occur to me to look at the message boards at first because on previous brief glances at their boards I had found them skimpy and not particularly interesting. When I finally got around to checking them out, maybe a week later, I was SO glad to discover a community of people who appeared to feel the same way I did but, trolls aside, seemed perfectly normal and intelligent and sane (or if not, at least insane in the same way I was).
Eventually I started delving into previous posts of posters I liked, which led me to PT -- a posters supergroup! Nobody invited me, but I just barged in and started posting (hope nobody here minded, and perhaps has been harboring secret resentment ever since ...
). When everyone decamped to BetterMost, I followed.
After that, I glanced back at imdb now and then, but felt less and less need to do so as the weeks went on. These days I only look at it when somebody here points out a particularly interesting thread.
