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:

10 times here!!!!

When it first came out, I saw it on Sat and Sunday.

Then, I saw it a Friday, Sat, and Monday.

After that, I've seen it either every week or every other week

 Grin

I think we should receive THANK YOU letters from Jake and Heath for going so many times!!!

Three times.
Twice alone, and once with my hand in my pocket.

6 times (planning on 7 this weekend).  Went every weekend in a row since mid-January.  Once w/adult daughter, 5 times alone.  First couple of times crowded theaters, thereafter, other middle aged women in small numbers.

Yikes!
16 times here,  .... the last was yesterday. I waited 9 days between 15th and 16th, the longest stretch ever.
I kept the tickets and wrote down the number, else I won't be able to figure it out.
Come on now, I feel a tiny bit like a freak here.
I know there is some body out there who'd seen it 25 times.

Tell you what... as some one said earlier, I have been waiting to see this movie all my life.
I was ready ... all of my life experiences, the joy and the sorrow, people I met and loss, places and wonders I'd seen, made me ripe for BBM in all of its glory.
There may never be another Brokeback for me. There is only one East Of Eden, which used to be my favorite movie of all time.
You bet I'll go again, until it got pulled down from the theaters.
Watching it on a Laptop screen... doesn't quite do it for me.
