Yeah, the DVD. I am on the list for a heads-up as soon as it can be ordered from Amazon. I had joked to Maeglian, I would be screencapping the kiss scenes for her. But I'll be doing for me, too, at this point! *grin*
And, Ann, you are not the first person for whom it takes things a while to hit:
On my way to work the next morning, I started thinking about Jack and the boy-whore, and I began to cry while driving. I had to sit in the parking lot until I could compose myself; even after that, I couldn't get myself together to be my normal happy perky revved-up self. I had to go home sick - can you believe it?
You make me think of Ennis in the alley (book version - when he doesn't know what has hit him). But it was worth feeling sick, wasn't it? I am sure it was for him. No matter how much he suffered internally over the loss of Jack and the loss of what they had together -- what they might have had had he been willing to risk more -- I am certain he never regretted a minute.
This theme of treasuring an experience of love one has lost or had to give up, in spite of the pain it causes to treasure it, has always been a main theme in my own Frodo story, to have come out in its second half. (Maybe one day I'll actually finish writing it! *grrrrr*)
So maybe that's another reason BBM has hit me so hard. Its themes were already ones that really mattered to me very deeply.
