I wasn't familiar with Gerard Butler's work, but I happened to watch Den of Thieves 1 a few nights ago. I was surprised by the quality of the film. I did not know that my heartthrob Pablo Schreiber was in it, so that caused additional excitement. It's a bank heist movie, as in Federal Reserve, and I found it better than most heist dramas. The story is interesting, lots of suspense, and you don't really know what happened until the very end. They still leave you with plenty of mystery. Then I noticed Den of Thieves 2 was also on Netflix, with a 2025 release date. It is the sequel to the original, and it's far better to watch 1 before watching 2, so you can properly follow the story. The 2nd film is also very interesting, with Butler's character going to Europe. Again, you don't know what the fuck is going on until the very end. I thought both films were worth a watch, if you like edge-of-your-seat suspense with a dose of mystery.

These 5 page Deli threads can be interesting. Only a size queen is going to complain about not-so-truthful cock sizes in these ads. For most gay men, a cock is a cock. It seems to me, lying about your height is another matter. Lots of taller gay guys aren't comfortable hooking up with shorter guys, especially if they have to pay for their company. A 2-4" height difference is impossible to hide standing next to a guy, even if Damien is wearing Louboutin stilettos when he greets you at the door. Damien is good looking, for sure, with a serious body type. He doesn't do anything for me, but I see his appeal. But at 5'7" (if you can trust that), a seriously pumped body, and a fetish for painted fingernails and lady's g-strings, I'm a bit surprised by his inflated sense of self to be charging such high prices. To each his own, for sure. If his marketing works for him, then more power to him. Maybe he's fun to be with. Maybe he's great at lap dancing and other things. Maybe his erection is a work of staggering art. Only the folks with deeper wallets are going to find out.

Apparently, there's quite a storm brewing. White Lotus composer quits, and he's trash talking Mike White in public. ‘White Lotus’ Theme Song Composer Won’t Return for Season 4 - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Cristóbal Tapia de Veer’s music was one of the breakout stars of HBO’s vacation thriller. But in an exclusive interview, the composer revealed that he... I'm hearing that White sat down with Howard Stern recently.

I first saw him in Brotherhood. I thought he was terrific. At the time, I had no idea he was British. I think he was playing an Irish mobster. I do agree his accent in White Lotus felt like it was all over the place. One can only wonder how committed the actors were to this material, and what they said about it behind Mike White's back. Here's Mike White talking about his creation of the Season Finale. In open, MAX-produced discussion, he makes it all sound interesting and compelling. I hope someday he can be honest about all the bad choices he made in Season 3. I won't hold my breath. Once you hit a certain plateau, it's very difficult to be self-critical. From other MAX videos I've seen, it does seem there will be a Season 4. Viewership must be good.

LOL. Actually, most of the stuff I get is terrific and helpful. Sure beats my old cable TV account. Thanks. You saved me from watching it. There are endless amateurs giving video production a shot. To make serious money, you need hundreds of videos getting millions of views each. Ask Mr. Beast. Using an oiled up visual of Austin's pumped naked torso is evidence the guy is serving click-bate.

There are many recent videos on YouTube featuring Florida real estate agents in a complete panic. Prices are dropping like crazy and inventory is endless. Many people can't get home-owners insurance, while others can't afford the insane cost. A lot of people have had it with the hurricanes. I have wealthy friends who are building a home there, and they say the panic exists among the middle-class market only. IME, Florida has always been an up-and-down market. With the planet getting warmer, the future of Florida does not look good.

Very true, but I sort of enjoyed Lochlan confronting Saxon, expressing his honesty, although the conversation didn't go anywhere. There was plenty of room for some interesting dialogue. White decided that Saxon was too repulsed. Oh well. It was a letdown. I was hoping for more conflict and resolution, which is what often brings old friends closer. Those 3 traveling together deserved so much more drama, especially with those actors. I did love the bed scene with Laurie, when the Russian lover asked her for $10,000 after he brought her to orgasm. Kind of reminded me of this board. Yes, comparing yachts.

I was so hoping the family would be found dead, and I was OK with Lochlan being the only survivor. They were a dreadful family who deserved death on a TV show. Instead, we get Mike White tickling our balls. Except, the shit hits the fan when the plane lands in America, and we don't get to see Parker Posey have her breakdown. She is such a great screamer, I feel robbed.

The ridiculous things you have to do to get your manipulative plot twist to stick. That's the problem with hoop jumping. If it isn't thought through well, you miss the hoop and have your characters doing absolutely silly, nonsensical things. Who on earth would prepare a protein shake in a dirty blender left overnight with the remains of "spoiled" coconut milk and alcohol? No wait, what father who decided to protect his family would leave the unwashed kill-pill on the counter? No wait, the underage kid has been drinking, taking drugs, and masturbating his brother the entire trip, but to save the last episode, the father suddenly decides to get strict? Good grief, who writes this shit?

I'm happy for Belinda. How clever for Mike White to make her pull a Tanya on Pornchai. People and their love of money.

If the Fed is your enemy, and they have the goods, 1-2 million aren't going to buy you much. It's not like they're going to set you free so you can start your OF life all over again. The internet spooks me. No sooner do I post to this thread and this shows up in my YouTube Feed:

The preview turned me off. Rachel Zegler is talented, but her facial details are off. Her eyes are too far apart for camera work. To my eyes, she looks very strange. I found it a challenge to watch her in West Side Story. Once she opened her mouth and went political, the movie was doomed. I thought Gal Gadot casting was a mistake. Very weak performance and impact. The whole dwarf controversy was so avoidable. Why was this remake even necessary? The financial loss on this film is staggering.

It took me awhile to realize the above video is from Whoop, a health-monitoring system that Mike White uses. That's why he gave them so much of his time. Listening to him talk about his grueling schedule when the series is in production, no wonder his brain goes dead. When a creative works 16-hour days, it is almost impossible to shut down on cue and get enough sleep. Mike White gets ideas in his sleep, and then he has to write them down bedside, and try to go back to sleep. There aren't many people who could endure 7 months of this. I don't usually need more than 6 hours of sleep a night, but if I happen to lose a night, for whatever reason (mostly old age), I can be a beast until I've had a chance to recover. 16-hour work days are no fun, I don't care how famous you are or how much money you are making. The body can take only so much torture. His honesty in this video packs a punch.

Who would pay for that? Does Austin have deep pockets? A wealthy benefactor willing to support him? So few cases go to a jury, and it's mostly a cost-savings issue in a very backed-up system. Unless the guy is innocent, what would be the point of a jury trial?

It's a risky choice if you're trying to attract a gay customer with your ad. Gay guys are mostly horny when they shop, and the last thing most want to see in that state is a vagina. I imagine the market of gay guys who might find that hot is very small.

Thank you Armie Hammer. (Just started watching House of Hammer on Max. Holy shit.)

It has gotten great reviews. Lots of Hollywood people were praising it on the red carpet at one of the recent awards ceremonies. They always ask, "What are you watching now?" I was a loyal ER watcher. That show launched a lot of solid acting careers. There was nothing like it on TV at the time. Folks who worked in NYC heath care could not stop talking about it. Sadly, I can't bring myself to watch a medical drama at this point in time. It bites a little too close to home. I see way too many doctors. I always thought Noah Wyle was adorable and very talented. I'm surprised he didn't have a much bigger career.

She died in 2019, in Rancho Mirage. They could visit her grave site. Matt Bomer seems to love to sing. There are plenty of samples on YouTube. Apparently, he did a guest spot on Glee.

This came out yesterday. It's about 30-minutes too long, and the interviewer is too much of a fanboy for my liking, but it's easy to see the pressure Mike White has been under, and learn more about his process. I think the interview reveals how difficult and challenging it is to put a hit show on paper, and do everything you can to keep it a hit on TV. It's all one big gamble. A lot of hard work, sleepless nights, dealing with HBO execs, and fearing disappointed fans.

So disappointed to hear this. It is interesting that they are teasing on YouTube. Probably hoping to drum up word-of-mouth.

Handsome guy. Looks like the type of actor who would appear in action movies. I like the Puerto Rican-Irish mix. Would love to see his junk. His body is very natural, and I like that. Might be worth it to ask about the PNP. Could be an error or misleading.

This was in today's Feed. Too bad the Broadway hairdressers couldn't get her hair right. Didn't they see the movie Blonde? (Can you tell I was once married to a fabulous hairdresser?)

I saw Brendan Fraser in The Whale. It was a painful movie to sit through. Being gay and trying to experience love is tough enough. Add extreme obesity, and I don't know how a guy can be expected to survive. Thank goodness for the sensitive escort types. It's too bad they can be very expensive and out-of-reach for a lot of budgets. I grew up with relatives who struggled with extreme weight. One cousin was a closet gay, and he died in his mid-40's from an infection in his foot. He was so miserable, he refused to see a podiatrist. Many of us quietly felt that he preferred death, and that's why he let go. The vast majority of America is obese, and millions of those people are married with children. Lots of overweight people having sex and trying to find happiness in life. I would say this is the norm. Why should overweight gays be doomed? Porn has a way of distorting reality. Don't gay men watch an excessive amount of porn? Aren't we gay men competing with those idealized images? I have noticed among amateur porn, there are a fair number of chubby guys filming themselves with hot partners. They used to call these hot guys chubby-chasers, but I've never known any. If only the group was large enough to satisfy the need for meaningful companionship. I left my conservative home town because I was afraid to be there and be openly gay. Gay men were violence targets back then. My own father had a reputation for beating on gays in his youth. Living in NYC has had a way of shielding me from the pain and frustration of other gay men, however, there is plenty of pain and frustration here. We have models and porn stars to look at and envy. I don't have any answers. I just try to find a way to continue to love myself through it all. Now pass the Häagen-Dazs.

I think I am. I want better for our less-than-physically-perfect gay men. Because I'm older, I find myself more inclined to say "fuck you" to child-like insecurities. I came to NYC in my youth, and worked hard on my body. And then I turned 50 and all hell broke loose with my DNA health. The lifelong bodywork went to shit, and I refuse to cry over spilled milk. Nobody appreciates a beautiful body more than me. If I shared a hot-tub with Matt Bomer, it would take enormous restraint to not touch him. But in that restraint, I would want to show him my confidence, and my acceptance of who I am now. Confidence, for me, is the sexiest aphrodisiac, and I'm a little disappointed in Nathan Lane's stand on nudity. On the other hand, I'm glad he's executive producer and can command that his wishes be respected. He won't lose his job because he refuses to enter the hot-tub without a shirt on.

I was making a joke. But I have heard that regular douching is not a good idea. I had no idea what lube was until I moved to NYC. Even if I knew about in the 70's, I wouldn't have known where to find it my home town. My teenage butt was lube free until I turned 24. Even then, it took me years to settle on Astroglide, and I seldom needed to use it. I kept it around for the bottoms I was fucking who had really tight holes and screamed if a finger merely touched it. What a joyless pain they were.
