Here's publicist Waylon Tate's review of Connor on SNL.

Never heard of this one. It's a wacko horror/comedy movie from 2024 that actually has more laughs than I expected. I have seen worse, and laughed less. Nick Kroll playing gay was quite good. He and Andrew Rannells seem to have great chemistry. Not sure Andrew Rannells is leading man material. At 47 with a swollen face, I don't think he's aging very well, but I never thought he was all that handsome. Morgan Spector does quite well as an Italian son, and Amanda Seyfried provides the newborn baby. The premise is very peculiar. It seems like someone was trying to channel a gay Laurel and Hardy meets Frankenstein. The two lead characters are supposed to be wealthy, successful Californians, but when they get to Italy, they become dumb-and-dumber. Some of the language mishaps are very believable, and funny, but everything else is insane. Mixing bloody gore with a gay parent adoption story seems ludicrous to me. But the movie got made. I know it's a comedy, so you can't take any of this seriously. This is pure gay fantasy entertainment. It may be worth a few laughs.

The ending was very strange. It felt like I was watching home videos of someone's wedding. I thought the actors who played the parents were talented. They deserved their own story, maybe an Indian version of The Ritz.

I'm still waiting to find some laughs. Connor did just fine, but SNL sorely needs some new writers. I was surprised they got Connor to undress for a skit. Looks like he's all in, at least for now.

I did not enjoy it. I'm really surprised Jonathan Groff took the role. It's the most unoriginal idea out there. This story has been done so many times, and so much better. To me, Groff feels like he stepped in at the last minute to help a friend. In some scenes he barely says his lines. He's wearing too much make-up, too much lipstick. He looks ridiculous. They are the oddest couple ever. I understand actors need to work. I was surprised to read that Justin Baldoni was one of the producers.

I'm stunned by Dylan O'Brien's sex appeal. He's one of those straight guys who seems totally comfortable with gays drooling in his presence. When the gay character calls him a tease in that scene, that's real. That's not acting. The guy has much more than just looks, because it's debatable how handsome he is. He has a lot of different looks. He's got an energy on-camera, a voice, a bad-ass twinkle in the eye. He can be goofy and very masculine. He's a natural flirt. The fight scene outdoors was so romantic and heroic. It rivaled anything in Heated Rivalry. I couldn't believe my ignorance, so of course I Googled him. I have seen him in a few things, but I don't remember seeing him. The parts weren't significant enough. The guy has 204 pages on lpsg, hundreds of guys looking for a glimpse of his cock. Lots of naked ass photos, but no cock. And now, with this performance, him fucking a twink, the gays are going wild, and I can see why. I hope his agents are working overtime. This guy is a hot property who is really ready for major fame.

I finally got around to seeing it last night. I worked quite hard not to read or see anything about this film. This is my first time on this thread. I like the film. I will see it again. I thought it was a very strong acting, writing, and directing effort, and a unique take on the subject. I am shocked about my lack of knowledge on Dylan O'Brien. Not only is he hot as hell, he's an incredible talent. The scene where he's imagining talking to his brother is Oscar worthy, and he deserves the prize. The sex scenes with Dylan gave me an erection. Damn that boy can fuck. He was brilliant playing both brothers. I did not like the Dennis character. I wanted to slap the bitch. He was way too cunty for me. However, James Sweeney, what a young talent, except he's 35 going on 15. Talk about two guys who don't look their age in this film. I loved Aisling Franciosi as Marcie. Lauren Graham, Chris Perfetti were all perfectly cast. Even my boyfriend François Arnaud was fabulous. It seems he's been getting around playing the same role over and over again. I guess he's not worried about being typed. It helps to be in the mood to see this film. I hit it at just the right time. I was not bored or sleepy.

I didn't realize the director was so handsome, and young. Here is Harry Lighton talking about the casting of Pillion.

I love Emma Thompson, and I normally think she makes excellent choices for herself. I did not like Dead of Winter. I thought the story was ridiculous, totally unbelievable. I'm so glad I did not waste money seeing this in a movie theater. I would have been pissed.

I love watching nearly nude athletes. I wish they all would compete in the nude.

On HBO Max, they have an "Extras" section on the Episodes line. In Extras for Episode 8, there is a podcast, first featuring Nancy Miller interviewing Antonio Campos and Maggie Cohn, and then she interviews Colin Firth, who knew nothing of the case before accepting the role. It's his first TV production since Pride and Prejudice. I think there might be podcasts for each episode. I have to check that out. But the Episode 8 podcast was gripping. I wouldn't listen to the podcasts before seeing the series.

No need to do that. I meant nothing personal. It's just when I read the words "very clean and hygienic" in America, I never know what to think. But I can say this, I don't want the scent of lavender on my boy's cock, pit, or ass crack. To each his own.

I don't see why the request should lack tact. If clean shaven is your thing, then it's important to mention that to someone who shows both options in their photos. However, it would be foolish to assume that gay men don't take their every day appearance seriously, or take it lightly. Most of the sexually active gay men I know are very serious about their sexual prowess, and that includes the message they deliberately send with their chosen physical appearance. Trend or not, if a gay guy is sporting facial hair, there's typically a reason. You need to find out how flexible someone is with this issue. I imagine some guys would view the request as a financial incentive. If you offered me $100+ to shave my beard for our appointment, I would probably say yes. But that's me.

Sorry. I never found the smell of a hospital, a medical lab, or an operating room to be sexy. The scent of Clorox wipes does not arouse my cock. Nobody likes to talk about it, but an unwashed provider who lets multiple customers lick him during the day's workload can be problematic. If licking is your fetish, it is worth talking to your doctor about that. Washing your skin numerous times a day can also present challenging issues. I wouldn't want to be a provider with sensitive skin. You can create a profile on the massage sites. You can state in your profile what you like, and provide the link in your communication with the provider. There is no guarantee the provider will read it, even if you ask him to, but many will read it, and say yes to your request. Most men are sexually affected by scent, pro or con, so there is absolutely no reason to feel awkward about discussing this issue. If the issue is important to you, then it's your responsibility to communicate that. Many providers respect good communication. If you don't speak up, the encounter could become a disappointing guessing game.

He's got a very nice smile, which to me indicates a positive sign. He's willing to show the public that he might be genuinely happy. His MF ad says he's licensed, while his RM as does not mention that. I wonder why. I hope someone tries him and reports back.

Apparently, the original documentary "The Staircase" can be seen on Netflix. Here is a photo of the real family.

This is a tough one to admit to liking. Maybe if the story had been fiction. Being that it's true, and it's backed up by a French documentary, there is way too much pain, lying and deceit. Living in the closet plays a serious role in this story, all the way to the end. Damage, damage, and more damage. It's a tough story to like.

It's an 8-episode drama based on the famous Michael Peterson case. I knew nothing about it. Came across this by accident, and was immediately hooked. The writing, acting, and directing are top quality. It's an HBO production. It's a tragic true story. The wife dies in the family home, presumably from an accidental fall, and the husband is almost immediately accused of her murder, and goes to trial. The husband, a well-known author, reveals he is bi-sexual, and claims his wife knew he lead a double life that included lots of gay escort activity. None of the adult children or relatives knew. It's a roller-coaster ride of high drama, sexual secrets, betrayal and family dysfunction. Colin Firth plays Michael Peterson superbly. Toni Collette plays Kathleen, the dead wife. Patrick Schwarzenegger plays the youngest son. The story's premise is fascinating for older gay men, especially those in the closet. I highly recommend this series.

This is true. My former partner had quite a few wealthy clients, people who thought nothing of spending upwards of $1000 on a haircut. For many wealthy people, spending $1000 is like a common person forking over a $20 bill. My partner always spoke fondly about the wealthy men and women who were kind and generous, and discreet. They didn't seem to be the norm. He would often say, the higher the price, the more demanding a customer. My partner did not enjoy working with demanding customers. A service is a service. It seems rare you would ever be treated like an equal. My partner would find joy and comfort that some wealthy people truly appreciated the art of the craft. When talent is respected, working with the wealthy can be enjoyable.

This was an interesting read. Thanks for posting it. I think it is amazing that actors like Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling agreed to do this film. The sex scenes are never easy to film for anyone, the crew and the actors, but especially the naked actors. In the wrestling scene, it looks to me like Harry's cock was nearing full erection state, and they went with it. It made the cut, even his cock adjustment was not edited out. The Intimacy Coordinator was a handsome guy. What fun for him. I'm not sure this video will post, but here's a link of Robbie Taylor Hunt talking about the experience. https://www.facebook.com/pinknews/videos/what-was-it-like-working-as-the-intimacy-coodinator-on-pillion-we-spoke-to-robbi/1494283918792960/

I just saw it tonight. It's based on a book. I purposely worked hard to not read much about this film before seeing it. I did enjoy the film's craft. I could watch it again, and probably will. I thought the actors did a great job, especially Harry Melling. I found Harry very difficult to watch. I don't find him attractive, and his bad teeth really bothered me. So many close-ups. But he did a great job with the character. Alexander Skarsgård was wonderful. I'm happy with the amount of nudity, but I always wish he would do more. The prosthetic artist is credited at the end, so we know the cock is not his. But whoa that body. Nicely oiled and beautifully lit. The parents were well cast, too. It is a shocking film for our times. I'm so glad it got financed. America needs to see more, and learn more about how complicated sex really is.

My former partner had a good friend who once worked for Leona Helmsley. She was notorious for being cheap, and telling everyone who would listen that this is how she got rich. Yet, in her will, she left $12 million to her dog, Trouble, which a NY judge later reduced to $2 million. Wealthy people can be crazy. My gut tells me that most of them are. Mixing sex and "work" may be a ruse of the past. Me-Too continues to have impact. All it takes is one participant to go rogue, and careers and reputations end. I won't even mention lawsuits. Wherever power exists, especially in show business, seduction won't be far behind. There will always be ambitious people, male and female, who will jump at the chance to get paid for sex in exchange for a career opportunity. Well written, with such a friendly tone. If I could afford it, I would take this handsome guy to Alan David, and treat him to a bespoke suit.

I swear my computer is haunted. Shortly after I post to this thread this morning, this comes up in my Feed: Eric Roberts gets what I'm saying. "Dime store-ish." That's where we're at. I have no experience hiring escorts, except many people have told me that HE massage therapists are precisely that. Still, the notion that there is an exclusive club of Oxford graduates, perhaps those handsome characters in the movie Maurice, that cater to wealthy men via word-of-mouth, and charge a fortune for their elevated experience, is nothing more than a Merchant-Ivory romantic fantasy. "If you have to ask the price, then you can't afford the service." LOL. Sounds like some 1980's tag line created on Madison Avenue, from a sales agent who believed his shit didn't stink. When it comes to shopping for sex, do men really care about the college credits and the gene pool of the guys they hire? How much of an escort's background is actually knowable? Do their CVs also get passed along by underground word-of-mouth? I suspect most men hire based on looks first, including men like Geffen. Most men want what they normally can't have by simple mutual attraction. After that, it's usually a particular turn-on that facilitates a sale. Sure, if you're doing an overnight or an extended vacation, you want all of the above, and maybe some chemistry and humor mixed in. You definitely don't want to hire a homeless drug addict, although it wouldn't surprise me if that might be a fetish for some billionaires.

LOL. Isn't the elitist sales pitch dead? Look what's happening to the Glambot guy. Canceled. Most of the wealthy people I've encountered in my life are cheap as hell. They are all looking for bargains and freebies when they can get them. Saks and Neiman's just filed for bankruptcy protection. Money is so transactional these days. High prices are far more marketing tactics than any indication of quality, especially with all the luxury crap that is now being made in China. I don't know any billionaires, so maybe there's a discreet pool of guys who cater to these circles, but how many billionaires are looking for man-on-man sex-for-hire? Name one product that a billionaire might buy today that doesn't have a website.

It's a fantasy best left for an OF video. It's difficult enough to find one guy who has massage skill, and knows how to touch sensually.
