Title: Go see it again
Post by: Toadily on Mar 06, 2006, 09:50 PM
I say we attend more.  I am going to see it tonight cause the local second run place has it
and was so certain it would win best picture they fought to have it this week and pick up audiences
with the press.  So damnit I am going.

Yes. The box office result speaks for itself.

Heck yeah. At least a few more times. Looks like Bubba and I may get to meet up with Proulxfan and his partner for a viewing!
Title: Re: Go see it again
Post by: proulxfan on Mar 06, 2006, 11:50 PM
And I am going to try to get in one more in addition to that. It's still my all-time favorite movie, and we're talking a significant chunk of time here folks!!

I better get moving!

I think this is BBM's last week running at my cinema.. (its been 3 months or more) thats unusually long for a movie to stay where my theatre is. BUT Thats good news! Means lots of people have been seeing it!
Title: Re: Go see it again
Post by: Toadily on Mar 07, 2006, 01:02 AM
Right on everyone.

Ok, I just got back from the BEST viewing so far.  I feel it somehow fits it lost now, I mean just like the world wasn't ready for Jack they aren't ready for BBM in Hollywood either.  Makes it more special (did someone say Titanic?)

But anyways, like Ennis fully appreciated Jack after losing him, I appreciated the movie more after last night.  It's a firggen masterpiece but I don't have to tell YOU that.  The movie house was packed on a Monday night.  Very nice crowd.  I felt so connected to Ennis at the end, it was like being with family.  I grieve with him.

So everyone go out and see it again!

Wonderful, Toadily. I am seeing it again this week.
Title: Re: Go see it again
Post by: chrissy323 on Mar 07, 2006, 01:36 AM
OK, twist my arm.......

I went again tonight. Partially to support the film (take that, Crash) and partially because its last showing in my area is Thursday.

With so many people trying to see it again this week, maybe its time for a new poll at the end of the week. My vote on the previous poll was 5 viewings ago.

Froggy, I'm free of Wednesday too !! As soon as my conference is over, I'm running to the cinema, forget about food, water, shelter, etc.

Post by: proulxfan on Mar 07, 2006, 05:56 PM
Couldn't wait; had to go for a PM matinee when an appointment got unexpectedly cancelled. And to my complete astonishment, the Oscar snub actually made it better-somehow more precious as I now feel like it's been threatened.  As those first guitar notes sounded and the shots of the tractor trailer unfolded, I found myself misting up immediately and a line from To Kill a Mockingbird leapt unbidden into my consciousness: " Heck. Atticus Finch. Someone's been after my children." It may not make any sense, but that's exactly the feeling I have right now. And perhaps not a complete coincidence as that is also one of my top five favorite films. I somehow want to protect BBM from all the ignorance and bigotry in the world. Guess I'm feeling all parental. Weird huh?! But I am resolved to cherish it even more and keep it close to my heart always. Must be time to take the "back to brokeback" pledge! ;D
Title: Re: Go see it again

I absolutely plan to see it again this weekend.  I hope it sticks around here.  If not, we might have to go to the Bay Area (where I'd love to meet Toadily and others!)

I just got back from a 6:30 viewing on Tuesday, March 7th. I went with a co-worker and his wife. Unfortunately, there was a woman with her boyfriend in front of us that talked and laughed frequently, which was kind of killing the whole mood. I actually moved to the first row so I could enjoy the last half hour of the film in peace. I wish my friends had joined me. Still, I think that they liked the film, regardless. This is the second time that this has happened to me. I am learning that the "rowdy, talkative" people tend to sit in the back, so I am going to gravitate toward the front from now on, neck strain be damned... :^) This is my 8th viewing to date. There were about 20-25 people in the theater, which I thought was quite a few considering it was a Tuesday night and the parking lot of the theater (they have about 12 screens) was quite empty...

I saw BBM at first time only a week ago (the premiere of BBM here in Prague was on March 2nd, actually, before the Oscar night was enterprised the whole nominates, only Munich got into a public in January), it was thursday night...
The next weekend was thirsty...
The movie is so charmful and overarching, so after it you feel blank, feel exinanition...but it is not bad, no, you have felt the life how YOU SHOULD feel.
You listened so beautiful, so sweet and old lonely sound and melodies, you flew like a wind, like an eagle over these great big mountains, you felt warm-hearted of seing that young true souls...

Sure, Go see it again...
I'd rather say - go FEEL it again

You know, Im so weird when it comes to this movies, sometime i actually contemplate whether I should go to the cinemea, buy tickets from the ticket machine where you use your debit, and just buy like a few hundred bbm tickets, even if i can't go see them all. I meant why not? What's stopping me?

Oh yeah, I few thousand dollars.
I have honestly seriously thought about it though. Am I insane? HAHA ;D

Insane...close. If you do buy many tickets, may I suggest that you can just pass those free tickets to people walking on the street? Perhaps you can change a few people's lives.  ;D
Title: Re: Go see it again
Post by: backtobrokeback on Mar 10, 2006, 06:47 PM
You are NOT insane, unless we both are!  I actually did ask for two tickets once, even though I was alone, and felt good giving BBM the box office increase.  I think buying a lot is just one way to contribute, but giving them away free would be an even better idea.  Or take people who need to see it and offer to pay for that AND the popcorn.

Title: Re: Go see it again
Post by: proulxfan on Mar 10, 2006, 07:21 PM
Well we don't have to buy extra tickets. Got ourselves a crew of 5 to go see it tomorrow, and everyone in attendance will be a "repeat". I have a friend in Ohio that didn't "get it" the first time, but the Cowboy and I can work him over real good. ;D ;D ;D

nothing to worry about from BBM fans, this film will still resonate in our hearts long after it has ended it run in the theaters, for my part 19 viewing and still going strong

I“m going to see BBM today after work for the 4th time. Here in my hometown it goes in two theaters and after Oscars they have moved one of them even into bigger theater with larger screen and more seats. Great!

BBM has ended its run here.   

I had hoped to see it for the third time, but didn't make it.  I do have the book of Annie's short stories and the 'story to script' book to tide me over until the DVD comes out.  I ordered it a week or so ago and hope that the projected release date of early April is correct.

Going by yourself is a good experience.  Out of 7 viewings I was 4 times with someone, all different friends.  I look for another viewing Sunday, all by myself.

I'm at nine too!  It's funny I can recall all my viewings!  Each different.  My fav so far was in my neighborhood little second run
theater.  IT was right after Oscar and the house was packed.  A lot of couples there, and I over heard one guy, very macho looking
who said he was there due to the Oscar controversy, wanted to see for himself.  So it made me feel good that the Oscar thing may
actually HELP BBM.

You are right, I could recall all my viewings too.  My favorites are number 2, first time in English with French sub-titles, perfect crowd and no pop corn allowed in the theater.  Number 3, my most emotional, perfect crowd again and Niagara on the cheeks for me but... some cretin opened the lights at the beginning of the credits.  Number 9, yesterday, my most cerebral viewing.  What I love about my BBM movie experience in theaters, I know now there are theaters I will never go again, never, never.  I will support Cineplex Odeon, AMC and of course the perfect Ex-Centris.

I'm off topic BTW  :-X

Title: Re: Go see it again
Post by: Mars on Mar 24, 2006, 06:51 PM

Maybe you have gone deeper inside the film or you were
more ready to accept all the content of the movie.
In this way, perhaps you have allowed yourself to feel
freely the emotions. It would be very interesting to
understand this motivation, for all us too.Human things
are very exciting, really.
A presto, ciao Damon e buona notte :)

tpe, hope you enjoyed your viewing tonight.

I went this afternoon for 4:35 pm show. It was hardest for me because I knew it was the last BBM viewing in the theatre.

The only one showing BBM in New York City is AMC25 at Times Square with 25 auditoriums. I had been there four times. Each time I went higher up and the screen got smaller each time (from auditorium 6, 12, 18 and today 23). It was just like climbing the mountain.

Ethan, I'll see it for probably the last time today.   

I do feel that seeing it is literally an experience like climbing a mountain, because by the end, you are so emotionally exhausted. 

I stay until the final credits.  I will stay until the very last.

After the DVD is out, I heard that some theatres would still be showing it.

When the DVD is out and it will be gone from the big screen, I think it will become like a religion.  I can't find another way of sayong this.  I hope you know what I mean.

It's still playing in Israel, and pretty close to where I live... I'm thinking of going again this week. I almost went to see it today but my eyes are not quite right yet and I must have a clear sight of our boys...
