I know the DVD will come out at different times in our different countries, but I'm wondering if there will be a way to somehow commemorate the movie together. Can we hold simultaneous US, Canada, Britain, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Russia, Japan, etc., etc. viewings?? Set up times when we'll watch all together? I can't wait to see how the DVD release changes this forum!!! Our community bonds will grow even stronger. :)

Hello shieldmaid,
That is one great idea. Let's work on the details how this may work.
-
I don't think there's anyone else from Israel on this forum... am I alone here? :(

I'm quite sure friends from Italy, Spain and Southern France could do this with you, you're all around the Mediteranean Sea. ;)
-
:-* :-* :-*
-
I'm in! I'll watch for further details.
Cool idea. Kind of like "hands across the world", except with DVD's and BBM love. :)
-
I'm thinking maybe we could pick a date after several countries release the DVD--a Saturday in May? And agree to watch at the same time, a certain time for each country/region/time zone. We could do a live reactions thread like we did during the Golden Globes and Oscars. Even maybe do some live polls or "1st annual ennisjack.com awards" for best Ennis scene, best Jack scene, biggest surprise on the small screen, most changed perspective on a scene after seeing it on the DVD, etc. . . .
I'm just brainstorming here . . . would love to hear others' ideas. :)

This is a wonderful idea...reactions particularly when we are all fresh from a viewing would be really heartwarming - and lovely to think we will all be shedding tears in unison. :'(

I would imagine that its going to be a little quieter here on ennisjack.com April 4th ;)

Hehe...don't worry, honey. It will get busier after that. :)

Sounds like a great idea. How cool would that be if we all pop in our DVD and watch it at the same time. It is the release date that causes a problem.

hm i was thinking we do a real-life gathering at someone's house, with a bigscreen TV. I know a LOT of people from orange county, California are in here... where are you people? Seriously if someone takes charge and gets this going.. it'd be really great. bringing fans all together, to watch. and discuss. wouldn't that be cool?
too bad i live with parents :( i can bring the DVD over.. well, im sure everybody else will want to bring it too lol. But yeah someone lets get this going?

I think regional gathering is also a good idea. I am also hoping to evetually plan an international gathering. But this is another topic.
For now, we do a small scale for DVD release. :)
-
Are we still on this?
A live thread of BBM viewing? Maybe not the whole movie but selected scenes.
-

I think that's a great idea! And hopefully it is still on ethan, it'd be great I reckon :)
-
Love all these ideas!
-
I'm so excited to see that this thread got resurrected! Maybe we could pick some dates and have live threads for viewing certain scenes? I suggest that we do one or two per month in the summer, leading up to a viewing of the end of the summer on Brokeback in August. Possible scenes:
1) Arriving at Aguirre's trailer
2) "No more beans"
3) The bear scene/Jack trying to wash Ennis's face
4) FNIT
5) On the mountain
6) SNIT
7) The farewell and Ennis's breakdown
And maybe we could coordinate multiple viewings of the same scene for different time zones--?

I would add the scene at Jack's parents's house
Great idea Shieldmaid 8)
-
Yes great idea, shieldmaid.
Should we first decide a date and then the scene sequence - Maybe
1. Ennis and Jack on BBM
2. Separated
3. Reunion
4. Fishing trips
5. Heartbreaking & Flash back to the end
We can do five live threads for this and members who just get their DVD can join at any time regardless the order.
May I propose next Saturday or Sunday late afternoon, EST?

Sunday is Mother's day in USA and Canada...
Saturday's fine for me
-
Ooops...sunday is not good then. Saturday is fine with me too.
This coming Saturday afternoon (EST) afternoon, evening in Europe. Anyone else?
-
Should we plan a live BBM DVD viewing this weekend?
-
I'm tempted, it could be either Staturday or Sunday for me, we should try to setup a time that will both suit America, UK and Europe.

Sunday 8 pm sounds pretty good to me ( God, just remember the line 'and that harmonica don't sound quite right either'....brokeback got me real good, and it ain't over )...although I only have it on divx :'(
-
Unfortunatelly I won't be able to watch it with you cause I'll be in train at 8pm... I'm arriving at 10:30pm.
But I'll think very hard of you :)

hey, don't want to be a party pooper or anything, just want to point out that Yugoslavia no longer exists ;) The countries that were once part of the former Yugoslavia are now: Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slowenia and Macedonia.
Sorry, just couldn't resist since I know there are a lot of people out there who still believe that Yugoslavia extsts when it really ceased to exist in 1991 ;)

oh, that's too bad :'( but I'll sure as hell remember you while watching the movie, I solemly swear ;)

oh, I agree, Split really is exquisit. but I dunno, I like my home town best ( don't we all :D ). I used to spend my summer holidays in Split. But I can't make anything of their accent though- can't stand it, and I know 'they' sure as hell can't stand mine, so I don't feel very welcome over there to tell ya the truth :'(

We are not watching the entire DVD, are we? I propose the boys up in the mountain part. We can create a live thread - watching and posting thoughts at the same time. If it is ok with everyone, I will announce it in the forum and provide a link to the News Box.

I won't watch and post in the meantime. My DVD player is in the living room, my PC elsewhere and I'm not sure my PC could handle the DVD playing and the high speed internet connection at the same time.
I wouldn't watch and post in the meantime. I'll watch the DVD and post after, this is not one multi tasking experience I want to try but if the others want to, go ahead. I'll post after. BTW, not all of us have high speed connections and speed is different if you have DSL or cable, a live thread could be frustrating for some members.
My 2 cents
I suggest a full viewing and no replays of certain scenes ;)
-
chameau, thanks. My idea is more of making this an ongoing thing. If members can't join this time, they can join some other times. We can do certain scenes this time and some later.
In order to watch BBM "together," a live thread is a different experience. Of course, if the majority wants to see the entire DVD and post after that, it is ok with me too.

God, when Jack drives up after the divorce, breaks my heart every time! And the end of the scene in Mexico could have been so cheesy but once again Ang Lee pulls it off beautifully!

I know!!!! the look on jack's face.....full of self-loathing......really gets to you!
sorry, I'm not watching the movie or anything, but I felt the urge to comment anyway!
-
I ended up watching it all the way through!!! How many others watched it? the music gets right to my heart, shed a few tears again tonight, I have to go as I have to do a couple of things and get to bed, it was good knowing others on here where watching it too!! :-*

I watched all the way through too. And I feel the same way you do. Who else was out there watching? And from where? I'm in Michigan - it's now 4:30 pm. Greetings to all!
-
I was watching it from here in Israel and I'm really emotional right now... :\'( :\'( I wrote my response at the PBS thread. Still felt a little less lonely knowing that others were crying with me.
-
i couldn't watch it... i started it, but i teared up right when jack takes teh first look at ennis... i dunno why...
well, after i turned the dvd off, i watched a bit of tv with my mom and maybe i'll try again later tonight. it's almost 11pm here, but whatever... i don't have to get up early. and this way my mom won't ask me why i'm crying... ::)
-
i still don't have the dvd yet.... :\'( but it's really hard for me to get it when both my parents are gay hating meanies ^*) and i saw it like 100 times but i want the dvd for myself!! lol :X but may parents are like NOOO %( it makes me angry.. they should make a 2 disc special addition for brokeback mountain!! deleted scenes and more extras hehe ;D that would be cool!!
-
hello xloveless4everxx, welcome aboard #$#
I'm sorry to hear that your parents don't want you to get the DVD. I hope you'll find a solution! :)
