I told all my friends to go check out the movie...told them how great it was and how much it moved me, and how HOT the 2 men are (well, I had to throw in some incentive for the ladies ;) )...after that, it was up to them.  I 'volunteered' to go see it with them if they wanted to, anything to go back and watch it again  ;D...

Other than that, I just took care of my own BBM addiction, didn't have to convince my self a whole lot either ;)  I was sad and also relieved when BBM left theatres because I was spending a ton of money at the movies, going there over and over and over and over...just to see BBM  :-\
I loved it though, life is too short I kept telling myself, go ahead, spend all your money, nobody'll care if you don't..yeah right!  ;D

Well, I need some advice too. At dinner last night, my husband, who hasn't seen the movie yet, was saying that he was surprised that his brother had seen it and also had admitted seeing it. I said, "Well you're going to see it too. We need to see it together." He replied, "I'll never see BBM. If I want to watch porn, it's going to have to have some women in it." After picking myself up off the floor, I said, "If it's porn, why has it received all those awards?" He just looked blank. It's obvious that he is brainwashed by Bill O'Reilly and my opinion has no influence on him. How disgusting. A little later, I said, "Well I think Unleashed (a movie he rented recently and watched with my 14-yr-old son) is porn." I still hope to convince him to watch BBM. But short of strapping him down in front of the TV, what should I do???  :-\

Uh-uh, yours (or your husband's) is a serious case! My goodness, I'm not sure what to advise to you, short of divorce! I say this only half tongue-in-cheek, because my own BF, although not for religious reasons, has refused to watch BBM so far. He has agreed to watch it on DVD when we get it, but at the moment there is a great big ridge between us because I feel I am drifting away from him. And if I was married, I might consider divorce an option! Maybe threaten him with divorce??? If everything else fails...

That was appalling Sheyne.  You have my sympathy.  Life is too short to hang around people like that.

My argument to convince people to see BBM depended on who I was talking to.  Movie buffs?  I just brought out all the awards and critical acclaim and being left out talk.  Straight women?  Hot men naked.
