  1. I remembered to do a search. I just watched this. I have a friend who recently saw it and said he didn't like it. I have to disagree. I thought it was a smart and clever film. I enjoyed the writing, the direction, and most of all the acting. I had no clue that Frances McDormand played Pam, but was immediately struck by Pam's voice. Austin Abrams as the kid was also interesting. Not only did he look adorable in his white undies (loved the slow-mo shot), he seemed to have great chemistry with both older actors. Edit: (Yes I did a search, but did not realize this thread is in the wrong category. It belongs in Movies. Can a moderator fix this? Thanks.)
  2. For sure. But still, both audiences, seriously gay. I keep forgetting how many of us live here. Plenty to go around. LOL.
  3. Hell no. That guy's body looked amazing. Handsome, too.
  4. I think he's cute. What little I have seen of him, he made me laugh. I think I caught wind of his talent during Covid. I saw Ellen DeGeneres at Radio City, her final tour. It was a magical, personal, and very sensitive evening. Some comics carry such a huge spirit and energy, the size of the stage does not matter. Ellen had the Radio City audience in the palm of her hand, and she worked that stage. They truly loved her. For large venues, I happen to love Radio City. There is something very magical about the place, at least to me. I also find the seats comfortable. As for working his crowd, it would be interesting to see how he handles that at Radio City.
  5. I did not know that. That's some stiff competition for gays in the seats. Well, given that, I'm surprised Matteo is doing as well as he is at Radio City. I had no idea he was well known enough to get a booking there. I only know him from YouTube. There are still plenty of tickets left, but many sections are nearly sold out. It'll be interesting to see if he sells out by the 5th.
  6. Are any board members going to see this show?
  7. I love this guy and his very dramatic dog. I wish he would take me on a walkie and wee wee.
  8. LOL. Not if you watch the post-Covid Karens on YouTube. Haven't flown since 2019. Those bitches scare the daylights out of me.
  9. If it were that great tasting, there would be a ton less babies in the world.
  10. America's for-profit healthcare model has been broken for a very long time, and there is a strong monied interest that does not want it to change. Ask any doctor today what he thinks of our insurance situation, and you'll immediately see the look of disgust appear on the face. A lot more people are going to have to die or go absolutely broke before we see a change. Sadly, that's the way it seems to work in America. There was a time when United Healthcare was considered the "best" in NYC. I remember once choosing it in order to get a specific specialist. Then, something happened, and its reputation went south. Major hospitals started to drop it, along with a lot of doctors. That usually means they don't want to pay for much needed services, or the fight to get them paid is unbearable, or the amount paid is a joke. Personally, I know a lot about the horrors of America's health care. I once had a decent amount of money saved for retirement, but that all disappeared as I was forced to deal with my dying parents during the housing crisis of 2008. Not only did we lose the family home, I lost my savings. I could write a book on the subject, but no one wants to read something so awful. Mangione's good looks feed the media frenzy, because in America (and other places too), viewers love a car crash when the car is a Ferrari. This will pass, and more ordinary people will suffer. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds.
  11. LOL. That's one word for it. Anyone like Mazola cooking oil with their massage?
  12. These two Asian boys are very sexy in this video. The guy on the table, OMG. The skin is so incredible looking, and his ass is irresistible. I looked up the OF listed in the video, and an account exists by that name, but it looks like a different guy. But what do I know?
  13. I can't figure it out, but there's something off about these ChaosMen videos. To me they look dark and dingy, not sexy or sensual. Also, Bryan's head always looks so red, like a pimple that needs to pop. I think I read somewhere he relies on Viagra, and it seems to show.
  14. I'm surprised by the website design. It's very 1990's. Sort of reminds me of the one Jeff Palmer once had.
  15. Sorry. I think I forgot to do a search.
  16. Now it seems to be back. I never know what to say about these internet mysteries.
  17. It was extremely tame. For sure, especially the fake kind.
  18. I'm pretending it isn't.
  19. My goodness, I've seen him in many things, going way back to Guy Ritchie's Snatch. I'm surprised my brain did not recognize him. He closes the 4th episode with an award-winning scene. Absolutely devastating.
  20. 6'2" and by all accounts handsome and sexy as only 2 photos can show. I don't know what has come over me today, but he looks like serious boyfriend material.
  21. There is an extraordinary amount of buzz about this new 4-episode drama miniseries, with Brad Pitt named among the executive producers. I watched it last night, and now I understand. It's a drama unlike anything I've seen before. The best way to describe it is "a film in four acts." Each act is filmed in one continuous take. No edits. I simply do not know how this creation was made. The acting is spellbinding, but how was this achieved with no edits? The effort seems like a miracle to me. The story is not fun. It does not satisfy. There are no answers. However, this is a creative effort unlike most others, with superb talent at its foundation. I don't know any of the actors, but they are all superb in this, and perfectly cast. This is other worldly.
  22. I do wonder when it will catch up to me. Today's NYC is awash in electric wheelchairs, a growing phenomenon dating back to the 2000-teens. I haven't looked into them yet, but I'm assuming they are either covered by insurance or social services, based on the large number in use. The Access-A-Ride program is very popular. It's a separate bus service for seniors in need. We also have NYC Aging and Project CART, which are also popular. Local government and the senior community have been very proactive on senior care and convenience services. The growth and special attention to our sector has been quite impressive. It's far from perfect, but it's much better than it used to be, and far better than what other cities have. In addition, NYC has the best Services and Resources for the gay community. We have GMHC, Callen-Lorde, SAGE, PFLAG, Housing Works, ACLU and God's Love We Deliver, just to name a few. I have used several of these services, and they are amazing places with amazing people. True angels of society. The MTA has been doing a lot of work on creating more subway elevators. There has been a very active ad campaign for them and this work. Construction in Manhattan, particularly with the MTA, has been at an all-time high the past 3 years. I use and pay attention to the elevators more often than not. The 2nd Ave Q train to the Upper East Side is quite impressive. Those elevators seem spotless. The smells aren't as bad as they used to be. Covid changed a lot of that, but this is still NYC. The word clean has a different meaning here, always has. There is plenty of rudeness here, unhappy people, but there's a lot more kindness that goes unnoticed, not celebrated or not discussed. NYC is tough town, and its people are tough. You need to be tough to truly survive here. But at the end of the day, when the shells are removed, or when it really counts, the angels are there. I am so grateful.
  23. Looks like my YouTube video got pulled. Probably a copyright strike. I was surprised when I found it last night. Oh well. Sorry to those who don't have HBO. Rockwell gave me a tickle in my groin as he spoke of getting gang banged and loving it. The expression on Goggins' face was priceless. I've seen almost every YouTube interview with Mike White. No one knew the show would get the reception it received via Season 1. Season 2 was fun for many reasons, more money and Italy. Looks like Season 3 was mostly work. As for Capote, writer's block, and burnout, Mike White leads a fairly healthy life. He may not achieve WL apex anytime soon, but that doesn't mean the doors aren't open, money isn't there. If Mike White wants to continue working, creating, he can. So few ever reach an apex. Getting to work for a very long time is the best a creative person can hope for. I'm not surprised by the incest outrage all over the media. Apparently, the two brothers kissing has sickened many. LOL. At least it's getting lots of clicks. Isn't that what it's all about these days?
  24. I've been to a lot of places throughout my life, and this question is one I've contemplated. When it comes to everyday living, nothing quite beats Manhattan for me, and the list of pro reasons is quite long. For instance, I don't need a car or car insurance. I love my senior MTA discount. I love the culture, even though I can't afford a lot of it anymore. I love the energy, the diversity, and the brainpower of the people. I love the good, lengthy friendships I have here. I love the 4 seasons, with winter being fairly mild, compared to my childhood home. I love my doctors, and the fabulous, affordable health care I receive here. I love my Co-Op, and the manner in which we all care for the future of our building. I love the massage community and the gay community here. I love grocery shopping in all the boroughs. I love having 3 major airports less than 1 hour away. Coming and going is incredibly easy, no matter the transport mode. I'm finding NYC a great place to grow old, because there are so many fun distractions if you want them. I just wish someone with power would end the insane sirens. They are killing my eardrums as I walk the amazing streets.
