Lots of films that garner a lot of attention (even It’s My Party), I just loathe because the characters are all bitchy douches with Dorothy Zbornak rapier sharp quips. Maybe that is why I liked Brokeback Mountain so much, because I can identify dealing with feelings of forbidden love – who can’t really? Maybe it isn’t so much gay drama as it is how men are portrayed. There are some of these films like But I’m A Cheerleader where I totally identified with the lesbian side of the story, but the guy side made me lament being gay. Is that wrong? <BR/><BR/>Being someone who always feels like they are an alien without a home (where neither straight or gay culture fully accepts me), maybe I am being too picky; I should learn to either make movies so I could make one that seems sensible or glean a passion for snorting tina off the toilet seat while I have anonymous gay sex at a gas station and be all smiles about it afterwards. <BR/><BR/>Heavy shit aside… I am going to have to check out this movie. <BR/><BR/>-- SantrasUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268700764636316138noreply@blogger.com
