do you mean you'll only watch the first third of the film?  Cheesy or are you going to wear out your DVD player?  Wink

Most (if not all) of us have been to Brokeback now.  But just out of curiousity, we wanted to know how often you have visited.   Please fill in the poll, then post the number of times and the number of passengers in your party.

A sample post would be:
8 viewings
14 fellow passengers

Please, keep in mind, this is simply a numbers reporting board.  For longer posts and narratives like how it affected you or audience reaction, please go to:

HOW IT AFFECTED YOU

 8 times- only one of those times was i with another.  I most likely will see it again.

8 times so far.

2 times at the Toronto International Film Festival* in September 05 (3 hours in the rush line both times!)
6 times during the regular theatrical release


* just re-read the synopsis of the film from the Toronto Film Festival program. It was written by Noah Cowan, who is the co-director of the festival. Couldn't have said it better myself.

"Destined to be recognized as one of the greatest love stories ever put to film, Brokeback Mountain represents a new and lofty level of achievement for acclaimed director Ang Lee, talented young actors Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal and a powerhouse trio of writers..."

5x so far...it's played now for almost a month here in my home town at a large cinamaplex downtown...

1st time with a group pf gay men and a straight couple, second time with a young male couple/friends of ours, third time just me and my honey, fourth time with me, my honey and my sister and the fifth time just me and my honey again.

I've listened to the unabridged audiobook read by Cambell Scott umpteen dozen times...read the short story and screen play several times each....

does all this make me a Brokeaholic?  Cheesy

Hi all...

I've seen Brokeback somewhere very near to 20 times.

Six (or seven) times with an old friend

One time with his son

One time with a lady friend from work

The rest, alone.

I will return at least once a week until it leaves the theaters!

Not counting the LA group, 23 other people have seen it with me (2 of them more than once)
