DITTO.
God, I bawled my eyes out at this movie. One of the few films of the last 10 years to actually capture the human experience at its fullest. I SOOOO CAN'T WAIT. I didn't think John Cameron Mitchell could top the glorious "Hedwig" but he did. "We all get it in the end..." | |

"We all get it in the end..." i thought he was bound to hit a huge sophmore slump with SB, seeing as hedwig was just pure genius, but he managed to top hedwig. quite a feat.

I missed it in the theatres. So did I. But I read a quote from the director (who is gay) that cracked me up. He said he didn't want to ask anything of his actors that he wouldn't do himself. "So I ate some pussy. It was delicious, but I didn't get turned on or anything." The Normal Whores Club | |

"So I ate some pussy.

well god damn it, if i weren't going to be on a plane to iceland THAT VERY DAY, i'd be first in line to get a copy! though i have doubts this will be available at the local best buy...or borders...or, well, uh...where the hell am i gonna find this thing!?!?
carrie, are there any artsy video store places in MPLS where i can pick up a copy on the way out? i can embarrass D&D by watching naughty bits on the plane trip. [Edited 3/2/07 10:27am] | |

[Edited 3/2/07 10:27am] yea, i don't think a lot of places are going to carry it because of the explicit sex. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

as someone who saw the film, you have no idea how true that is. shortbus is actually the name of the sex club in the film that the characters end up at. comprised of several different rooms, often with a specified grouping (for example: there is a group of lesbians in one room talking that one of the main characters, a sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, ends up in), the center of which is an orgy. so, it's just like the org.

"This place is kind of like the '60s, only with less hope." Ok, seriously, if I rent or buy this movie, what am I suppose to expect from it? It's not one of those hip, urban, gay themed movies with love seeking out-of-work 20-somethings who live lofts I can't afford is it? | |

CBorgman, have you been to any of the Shortbus events in NYC? A lot of the cast members are also musicians, and they've been doing a lot of shows around the Lower East Side. The sex therapist woman and two of the three guys from the gay threegie trio do music, and Justin Bond has started doing a live on-stage talk show...Debbie Harry was a recent guest! I would SO love to be in on the JB thing. | |
