Just to give a second opinion about the a.m. movies: I personally loved: Shortbus (my all-time-fav), Bent, Trick, Eating Out 1+2, Broken Hearts Club, The Truth About Alex (short movie), Third Man Out (and the others of the series), Latter Days, Walking on Water, Cowboys and Angels, The Unfabulous life of Ethan Green, No Night is too long, I hated: Adam & Steve, Killer Condom, Not too bad: Testosterone, Tales from the City, More Tales from the City (and Further Tales of the City), Running with Scissors, The Object of my Affection, Maybe... Maybe Not / The Most Desired Man (Der Bewegte Mann) And don't ask me if I'm still doing other things then watching tellie and DVDs.

I thought Shortbus was ok. I wasn't really bowled over by it. I got in on Netflix a few months ago. Netflix has a great GLBT selection. From what I heard it's much better than Blockbuster.

I hated: Adam & Steve, Killer Condom, I thought Adam & Steve was pretty funny. I love the part when Steve sang the song from the Sound Of Music to Adam. It's quite touching. I've always got a soft spot for people who sing to their lovers.

AE posted a link to Hamlet 2: www.afterelton.com/blog/lylemasaki/hamlet-2-trailer-rock-me-sexy-jesusThe movie isn't out yet, but the writer/director is gay and the film has a lot of gay moments if the trailer is anything to go off of. I actually saw the trailer when I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I laughed my ass off. I totally want to see this movie.

I hated: Adam & Steve, Killer Condom, I can give you A&S, but how on earth can you hate Killer Condom? I had never laughed that much in my life. The speech at the end (where they explain the motivation behind the condoms) is a big "say what?!" moment, but that's the only flaw of the movie. And the little fact that according to the movie everybody on NYC speaks German, priceless !

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this film, Broken Sky from Mexico. I absolutely LOVED this film. It's on Netflix, so if you have a membership, I would definitely add it to your queue.
The film doesn't have alot of dialogue at all between the 3 main characters, but that's what I liked about the film. As the viewer, you could make up your own dialogue to what's being said between those characters and the situation/storyline of the film.

Ang Lee, the Academy Award winning director of Brokeback Mountain, will direct another gay-themed film titled Taking Woodstock based on the novel by Elliot Tiber and Tom Monte. It will be produced by Focus Features www.pastemagazine.com/action/article/7236/news/film/ang_lee_james_schamus_reteam_for_taking_woodstockSypnosis from Publishers WeeklyA humble motel owner and his parents become the heroes in carrying off the momentous 1969 Woodstock rock concert in Tiber's occasionally improbable yet thoroughly entertaining tale. Tiber, né Teichberg of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, put on hold his personal ambition in the mid-1950s as an artist to help his aging Old World Jewish parents run their ramshackle resort motel in White Lake, deep in the Catskill Mountains. Hounded by the guilt that he can't live up to his parents' standards and riven by his own covert homosexuality, Tiber pokes fun at what he calls the Teichberg Curse, a scourge that won't allow the family to escape financial ruin. As head of the Chamber of Commerce in his small town, and possessed of the yearly permit to hold summer music concerts, Tiber gets wind of rock concert promoter Michael Lang's need for a venue to hold the Woodstock festival. A month of frenzied preparations ensues as Max Yasgur's farm is secured, the anticipated numbers swell, and tensions grow in the town. Yet the planning of the concert makes up only one part of Tiber's very human story, which includes affecting side chapters on brushes with artists (Mark Rothko, Robert Mapplethorpe) and standing defiant when the cops raided the West Village gay bar Stonewall.

Now that you mentioned Collin Farrel, have you seen the tres gay film "A Home at the End of the Road" ? (quite good actually)... and the plot of that movie reminds me of "The Opposite of Sex" (quite bad, actually).

Milk, a biopic of political activist Harvey Milk, comes out later this year. Sean Penn, James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin and Victor Garber are some of the cast members. It is directed by Gus Van Sant and will be distributed by Focus Features. Looks promising!

I meant to make it over while Milk was filming but I never did get a chance. I did see a well done documentary on Harvey Milk on The Sundance Channel last year. Since June is GLBT month in the USA, I am sure they will air it again then along with The Celluloid Closet. I got You'll Get Over It ( www.imdb.com/title/tt0311943/ ) from Netflix yesterday and will try to get to it this weekend along with Harold & Kumar/White Castle. Has anyone seen You'll Get Over It ?

I've watched it. It's a decent movie. Nothing ground-breaking. But 2 of the actors in this movie acted together in another gay-themed movie titled "Come Undone" (which is another not bad movie).

Come Undone I am very familiar with. I think it was one of the first GLBT films I ever saw. I remember that beach scene! It was a decent movie over all. Hmm, I will post my thoughts on YGOI after I see it.

To geministargrl16:
This fan-made video is from the short-film "Campfire". It's from one of the European countries. Can't remember if it's from Germany or Netherlands. Anyway, it's a very good short film. The shots are really good and the storyline is very simple. Basically it's a teenage coming out story. I like it coz they've done it very beautifully and the leads are very good-looking.

I like it coz they've done it very beautifully and the leads are very good-looking. It's made by a Dutch filmmaker. This is what I read on 'Yahoo!'Movies: CAMPFIRE is comprised of four short films from acclaimed gay Dutch filmmaker Bavo Defurne. Defurne's work examines gay love and loss while referencing other artists--from Eisenstein to Pierre et Gilles. This collection includes the titles "Campfire," "Saint," "Particularly Now, In Spring," "Sailor."

So I saw You'll Get Over It. I liked it. I had some issues with like the last 15 minutes but everything up til then I liked. It was the first gay movie that I have seen in a long while the protagonist had a straight best male friend and that the friend didn't do the stereotypical flipping out and run away. That along with Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle made it a good Netflix weekend. Looking at my queue... which has like 297 movies on it... the next GLBT film I have on there is Eating Out 2 only because y'all raved about it on here. I also have a film called Summer Storm coming up. Now'll if you will excuse me, Star Wars is on and you can never see it too many times.

I quite like what Europeans do in the 'gay' genre movies. Although most of the stuff are not really ground-breaking, but you don't need a film to be ground-breaking to be good. Sometimes, simplicity is what it matters. "Eating Out 2" is really funny and of course, you will love the lead, Marco Dapper. He is such a HUNK!!!!

I prefer the new Mark to old Mark actually. And there's a specific scene in that movie that's just...guh. Enjoy.
