Or stereo-typed. It's so easy to go for the screaming queens, but I love those stories where it is just a part of the entire story, not the actual theme, with just some young boys running around shirtless all of the time. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Yeah, that's Steve Buscemi. I followed his career ever since that movie. I never seen that! It just made me cry just from this little clip | |

I just love movies. I quit noticing whether they were "gay" movies a log time ago, because I'd often end up disappointed in how shitty they were or just unable to relate. | |

ok, I remember another:
I sort of liked the Velocity of Gary. But only because the one/two combo of Thomas Jane and Selma Hayak made great eye candy. The story line was really downbeat. It started bad and just kept getting worse. I think with a bit better focus the movie could have been a great movie, but it was one of those near-misses that you sort of remember. Thomas Jane played a very convincing gay man. | |

We'l have to see L'École de la chair together now, as it seems I would like it, by the synopsis. | |

I used to like watching gay movies up until the movie Birdcage and Jeffery. Once I saw In and Out come out, I knew the genre had gone mainstream.
Movies I liked... Torch SOng Trilogy Long Time Companion Beautiful Thing Sum of us I think the last movie I saw that had a gay theme was "Not another gay movie". While there was some scenes that were funny, most of it made me cringe. I almost feel the same way when I see gay reality TV like Queer Eye. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

About 98% of gay movies have such unflattering titles which makes me not even care what they might be about. | |

I of course totally forgot the moment I walked out the door wearing a pink thong, a silver boa while carrying a karaoke machine on wheels while singing along to Madonna's Human Nature and Contra took my pic. | |
