I did that a few weeks ago. My sympathies. I think I may not have broken so much in the theatre due to cultural considerations of not sobbing aloud like a small child in a public place.

The first time I saw it, I went into emotional lockdown in the theater and then had my vision swimming from tears on the drive home.

Yes, this. I had already read the short story, so I thought maybe my muted reaction was due to knowing what was coming. And then I got home and Lost. It.

It was very conscious with me. I felt myself start to well up during the phone call between Ennis and Lureen, and knew the scene with Jack's mother would destroy me if I didn't get my funeral face on, stat.

I just saw Brokeback Mountain last weekend, and it was ok, but a bit Douglas Sirk-ish melodramatic for my tastes (although I'd take it over any Sirk picture in particular). Also I thought the scene with Ennis's ex was too "repression hurts people, mmmmkay?" bludgeony.

Deadwood: Saw no previews. Yes on points 2 and 3, although we don't know what Al is going to do about Wu's army. I'm presuming he originally intended them to work Hearst's mines, back when he thought Hearst was a halfway reasonable man.

I am Corwood. It's weird to not feel the love for a movie that most people that share my taste really really love. See also Lost In Translation.

Deadwood: Heh, well maybe they WILL have Wu's army work Hearst's mines for a spell.

I thought "Brokeback" was good but somehow I missed the deep love.

I missed the deep love of Lost in Translation. I spent the whole movie going, Yes? And?
