I think I agree with that. True love can be a seriously mature subject. Crazy lust is no easier to teach. The late 1700's was a crazy time to live and have sex. The idea of a "great love story" has changed dramatically.

If you didn't see the movie, the jokes might go over your head. It also helps if you are a Celine Dion fan. Not only am I a longtime Celine fan, I loved the movie. I think James Cameron is a genius.

I guess a part of me would love to share the details of my 20-years of suffering with American health care. You damn right, it's emotional. I would love to warn others what can and does happen. You can have a million+ in the bank one day, and the next day it's gone. I would love to get therapy to help me cope, except I can't afford it. I can't even afford a gym membership. Cardio does help with stress. I also don't want to burden strangers with all the boring details and my very personal trauma. I remember what the Affordable Care Act did for me. Most importantly, it reduced my monthly insurance payment by almost $300. I was fortunate, I did not lose all of my doctors. Seeing the ugly changes to the ACA stirs up ptsd. That's why I felt the need to share the article.

Talk to any doctor and ask him or her what they think about health insurance companies in America controlling our health care.

I didn't realize that Bowen Yang is a producer on this show. Here is what happened at the show on the day the Tony nominations were announced.

I've been watching some movie critiques on YouTube. Social Media did not love this film. There are a few comments that align with my thoughts and impressions. The movie is striking to watch. The artists and creators who created this dark world did a fantastic job. The lighting, the set design, the clothing, the fabrics, the color palate, the cinematography; all spellbinding. Much to my surprise, Margot Robbie is miscast. Not only does she look too old for the part, she is too old. I did not realize that the Heathcliff in the book is described as darker skinned, and one production cast him as Black. I did not care that Jacob Elordi is white, but I can understand why the book lovers were opinionated about his being cast. The actors playing the younger parts were terrific. I was pleased to see Owen Cooper. Alison Oliver, from Saltburn, was terrific as Isabella. Hong Chau was terrific as Nelly. Martin Clunes was great as Cathy's father.

So many important realities of life are political. I'm sorry this board chooses to shut down important discussions that are vital to an older gay man. But I understand what can happen when moderation is an issue. It is not easy or enjoyable to moderate political discussion. I wish to thank everyone who expressed kindness. The situation happened a long time ago, and time has a way of dulling the pain. If I knew then what I know now, I would have behaved differently. Of course, things could be much worse. I could be homeless, or have alzheimer's. I still own my apartment, I survive on Medicare, and I receive Social Security. Trouble is, these things can always change. It is never good to take any good thing for granted.

When it comes to money, there is no other way. So many people do not know how to talk about money, or self-worth, especially young, inexperienced people. It is something that needs to be learned, especially if you're a freelancer. My former partner traveled the world with celebrity clients. Not only did those lucrative jobs have a contract, my partner and the celebrity had what they call a "rider." The rider spells out everything related to travel "needs." Simple, often direct language, with no stone unturned. When it comes to money and financial expectations, guessing games are not permitted. A self-employed individual must set the road blocks, the boundaries, and the expectations. The bank paying for the service can then decide if the person-for-hire is worth the expense. If you don't learn how to behave like this, you risk becoming known as unprofessional. Of course, if you struggle with talking about money or your self-worth, and putting those words to paper, then you're likely to fail. Without the right tools of success, you risk encountering a lot of unanswered questions, enduring false assumptions, and feeling bad about yourself, the client, and the entire situation. The only way to win in any transaction, both parties need to get what makes them happy. There's no point in obfuscating. Be honest and clear. Once you get all details out of the way, you can get the job done, and possibly have fun.

Not at all. Emerald Fennell's 2026 version just hit HBO. Hard to believe it grossed $241.7 million worldwide against an $80 million budget. Considering the movie is mostly about mad love and mad lust, there is no nudity. Not even an ass crack. Makes no sense to me. Although I have to say, I don't think nudity would have saved this story, but it would have been fun to see Jacob Elordi do full frontal. This was the perfect vehicle for it. Considering the story takes place in 1790's, Elordi could have had a full bloom of pubic hair, and both actors could have smelled to high heaven.

Strange movie. Did not enjoy the story. Never read the book. At times, I felt like I was watching Frankenstein. Visually, it is interesting, but mostly dark. It could have been a vampire movie without blood. In many ways it is a vampire movie.

I remember watching this series and thinking I liked it. I did not know White had anything to do with it, yet he was a character whose performance I enjoyed. What can I say? I only know Jennifer Tilly from Bullets Over Broadway, one of my favorite films. I also know her from poker. She deserves a fabulous juicy part in something.

I haven't seen any great reviews. Mark Kermode says it's a talented cast in search of a good story. Meryl Streep's smug, my-shit-don't-stink face is everywhere. She seems to be over-acting at every turn on this one. So many people seemed hyped for a sequel. I think getting the OG cast together was a win-win no matter what. Where else can the Sex In The City crowd go?

I don't see how this ends well. Until universal coverage becomes the law of the land, many, many people are going to suffer like never before. I lost my life savings to the cost of caring for my sick parents. My dad had a stroke and my mother had cancer. No one should go bankrupt over the cost of healthcare. I do agree with those who say this is immoral. Sadly, so few in America agree with me. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/business/obamacare-enrollment-decline.html

So it looks like they just hired Laura Dern and Jennifer Tilly. I find both actresses talented and interesting, so maybe this is turning into a positive.

Just saw Ep 2. Wasn't expecting any of that.

I don't know if it's true, but according to MsMojo, Jack Innanen is aggressively seeking a role in Season 2 of Heated Rivalry. Wow. what fun that could be.

For a young man, he is definitely an interesting, modern performer, who knows how to manipulate a mystery and market to a gay audience. I'm not completely buying that he's straight, but if he truly is, then kudos to him for creating a very believable and successful porn caricature. He's all over social media. He even has a YouTube channel where he spends a lot of focus on sniffing young men's armpits. I'm surprised YT keeps them on the board. I've seen a few porn videos where he pretends to be fucked by other guys. The pretend doesn't work for me. He has quite a few videos where he masturbates and plays with his ass. I saw this one recently, and I have to say, he works hard to satisfy his audience. https://gayforfans.com/video/jerking-off-while-showing-off-my-young-hairy-hole-and-cumming-over-myself-braden-sherota-1763044572/ Are there any more members who love this guy? Has anyone ever met him?

"Intuitive and quietly magnetic, like a summer in NYC." For a summer in NYC, stinky is the only poetry I can come up with.

I wasn't clear on their ages at all. I knew I wasn't yet 18 in high school, so I assumed both were under 18, which made all the "sex" scenes more intriguing.

I tend to give deference to members of my tribe. Jamie is a cutie, even with his weathered face. The two actors playing the younger boys are particularly well cast. I don't think this is an accident.

Some guys are so easy to please. I like it. Whoever the guy in the singular photo is, the body is amazing, caught at a particularly good angle, minus the head. I'm skeptical because it seems too good to be true. I'm also jaded. What about his face? His breath? His scent? What if he's very effeminate? What if he has Carson Kressley's voice? There are so many things that could go wrong with a faceless photo and no validated reviews. On the other hand, if he looks and sounds like Jacob Elordi, please report back. 😀

The violence scares me. In my world, blood has no place in intimacy. However, I am aware that many men like violence with their sexual tension. All throughout history, especially during war. But it's not my fantasy. Given the reviews, I'm going to take this one in small doses and see where it goes. SPLOILER ALERT! I just want to be clear, or was it my imagination, did Niall wake up with a wet dream in his shorts after he slept the night in Ruben's arms?

I don't yet have a keen eye for this shit, and, without laws to protect the truth, what does the future hold? Especially now that "alternative truth" is in vogue, who gets to play judge and jury? What rights do the maligned have? Should famous people have no recourse? More and more, I'm seeing AI videos on YouTube. Suspicion is mostly ratified by reading the Comments section. I'm seriously troubled by this, especially when it so freely involves famous people. Here is an example of Janet Jackson's reaction (supposedly) to the movie Michael. Even before reading the Comments, it rang AI to me. But there are millions of people who will buy into this shit. How do we survive this? Most people won't notice the video's author.

I don't either. As bad as Season 3 was, across the internet, the show still managed to get nominated for an Emmy. Ordinary people seem to love these rich people fantasies, especially when some of them get killed.

Yes, Gadd is buff, and shirtless in the very first scene. There is so much tension, I kept waiting for Gadd to grab Jamie Bell by the head and shove his mouth into Gadd's pits. Maybe I'm just a horny old gay man hoping for a cheap thrill, but the homoerotic sexual tension in this one seems deliberate.
