Someone once gifted me with a homemade bottle of wine. She had gone to a class. I got the distinct impression she was trying to unload her stash of bottles that were collecting dust in her garage. I remember throwing it away without ever opening it.

That may be a sign that you have talent. If you think it's something that you would enjoy doing, all the better. If I were you, I would seek professional training. The last thing you'll want to do is hurt somebody, and also hurt yourself for doing something illegal, if you happen to get caught.

It's too bad the boy had to learn this lesson the hard way. The world is so unfair. There are certain jobs or opportunities that will not tolerate sex work of any kind. At least this brings more attention to him, so if he wants to pump his OF numbers, he can.

Final Reckoning was shot with IMAX cameras. I don't go to movies often enough to please everyone.

It will be eventually. I need close-captioning to understand what they are saying. So many missed words. At this year's Oscars, there was sincere request to support the theater-going experience. So many theaters were hurt or destroyed by Covid. So I thought I would do my part. I used to enjoy the IMAX experience, but I see now how challenging it has become for me.

I saw it at Lincoln Square IMAX the other day. I need to have my head examined. I haven't been to an IMAX viewing for several years. I got there 15 minutes before start time, and the theater was near empty. I knew it was sold-out online, so I thought that was weird. Up until start time they now play endless TV commercials, mostly selling prescription drugs. I think those commercials should be outlawed from TV, so I was not happy to find them in the movie theater. I'd rather be water-boarded. Then they hit you with 25 minutes of new movie previews, and they crank up the sound to ungodly decibels. By the time the film actually started, my ears were throbbing in pain. These sound systems are not safe for a man my age. No one arrives before start time anymore, at least no one with half a brain. But then we're left with hundreds of people trying to cross over you in the dark. None of this, and I mean none if it is enjoyable, let alone worth the price of admission. The movie is almost 3 hours. It goes on and on forever. I thought the story had jumped the shark long ago, but Tom Cruise is committed to the best technology, and there seems to be no stunt he won't do. The stunts in this film are no exception. Tom Cruise is insane. They brought the story full circle, referring to and featuring characters from as far back as the original film. That was fun. Unfortunately, the story is preposterous. Absolutely preposterous. It is amazing anyone can take this material seriously. The film has a crew of hundreds, if not a thousand. It delivers on masterful stunt work. It was interesting that Cruise did a lengthy underwear scene. He begins on the treadmill and ends up in a fight. The underwear is black, and they were very careful to not show any package. Given the length and action of the scene, the absence of package was quite noticeable. For a 60+ body, he's quite fit, but his pecs have dropped significantly. However, it is remarkable that he is capable of doing what he does in these films. I wonder how much pain killer he relies on.

If I truly saw myself this way, I would not respond to guys who asked for a photo. Absolutely. A good photo doesn't have to mean a fake photo. Facial grooming left unattended can be like encountering foreskin dripping in cheese. These are simple things to fix, if someone cares enough.

I had never heard of this film, and then read its release got caught up in the Covid mess of 2020. I remember following the actual story in the NY Times. The movie is based on Mohamedou Ould Slahi's 2015 memoir, a horrific true story. This is not an easy story to sit through, especially if you are conflicted about America's corruption and use of torture post 9/11. I think it's a story every American should get to know. I thought the performances were terrific. Jodie Foster makes a very good Nancy Hollander. Shailene Woodley is very good as her assistant. Benedict Cumberbatch is superb as Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Couch. And Tahar Rahim, is not only handsome, in a boyish way, his performance in a very difficult role is outstanding. It is a legal drama, but little time is spent in a courtroom.

I'm surprised by the harsh and negative critiques of Bella Ramsey. While, initially, her unique look struck me by surprise, her quirkiness grew on me. It made her growing love between Joel and Ellie more compelling. They could have cast just another Hollywood pretty, young girl, and how new or interesting would that have been? I never questioned Bella Ramsey's talent. From day one of watching, I thought she was doing a super job, especially for a young actor. I was disappointed to learn the show is based on a popular video game. The future plots are preordained. I know nothing about video games, and losing Joel struck me as a wrong move for the production. But it is what it is. Season 1 was so incredibly creative and engaging. At every turn you found suspense, mystery, and complex characters. I had no idea where the story was going, but I didn't want to stop watching. I did not like Season 2's opening, with the angry rift between Ellie and Joel. I understand that many children rebel against their parent figures, but I've grown tired of watching that truth in stories. So many popular drama series have used that device. Season 2's characters are leaving me limp. I'm not enjoying Jesse. I don't like the character of Abby. And I'm not yet enjoying Jeffrey Wright's contribution. I'm still watching, but not hopeful about that lasting. If they shift focus to Abby, I may be out for good. I agree, this feels like another zombie series headed in The Walking Dead direction. Where else is there to go with zombies?

Pure heaven.

This came up in my Feed yesterday. Milo, the masseur, has a very strong technique. Not sure my body could endure that, but it looks very healing, and very painful. His Genital Detox sounds very interesting.

Glee certainly presented him as dreamy, and I guess in a High School singing club setting he was. He certainly would have been a stand-out in my high school, based on younger looks alone. He's not typical fashion model handsome either, but he's got cute, sexy, boy-next-door appeal. It's his obvious charm and talent, plus the playful sex-appeal in his eyes that gets me. I don't know about real life, but as a performer, he has a ton of x-factor. Milquetoast means timid, meek, bland, insipid, etc. I don't see much of that in Jonathan. I see a wholesome, kind, gay guy who has tremendous stage talent, a strong presence, and handsome enough to attract many horny men and women.

I found plenty of seats available in July and August, but I got the seat I wanted for early Sept. Thank you. The Telecharge website is a little wonky, but I finally got it to work. Their pop-up window said they were doing maintenance. Very frustrating when you're trying to get a specific seat. Also, Telecharge does not show Sections A, B, C, D. I found a map on Reddit that did.

I was talking about advance ticket sales. Not sure if it's a limited run. I haven't checked the seating chart for months from now. Normally, if a show has strong sales into the future, we don't see constant commercials. (Edit) Just checked the seating charts. Many seats still available in the month of August. The Tony Awards could change that.

Patti's already published her apology. However, the damage is done. For some reason, Patti likes to stir up trouble with her big mouth, and the trouble mostly leads her to apologizing. She's always had her devoted fans, but the gossip in NYC has always stated that nobody in the business liked her. People called her selfish, with an oversized ego. In the professional world, openly criticizing a fellow professional is mostly not accepted. Patti's been talking shit about other artists since the beginning of her career. She's never learned any lessons. No one believes her apologies anymore. I suspect the industry has had enough of her antics, and that's the reason we see the Open Letter. It's there to send a message, and Patti got the message. I doubt they will follow through and ban her, but there is no way she will ever feel welcome, possibly forever.

OMG, he was one of the few actor/characters who made my heart flutter while watching Glee. They are showing a ton of commercials for this show on NYC television. That usually means ticket sales are not great. The commercials do make the show look inviting.

I've never been in a gym that wasn't wall-to-wall mirrors. When exercising, mirrors are an important tool. They can help make sure you're doing something right. The last thing you want to do is hurt yourself, and believe me, it's very easy to do. A trainer definitely helps to avoid painful mistakes.

I'm sure I might laugh with you sitting next to me as we watch your favorite shows. (blush) Absolutely not. But gay men are so interesting, funny, entertaining and fascinating. Given the amount of money spent on streaming, I wish there was more high quality content featuring gay characters. A girl can dream...

That's about all poor Janet has.

A lot of gay people have paid their lives to the ambitions of powerful people.

At every turn, i was shocked by how much more pain I had to endure, especially in Episode 2. He had a good circle of loving, loyal friends who adored him. I loved the precious scenes with he and his parents. Exactly. Mostly controlling. He seemed to feel the need to control everything. OTOH, he seemed to wear his deep emotions on his sleeve and be open to criticism, or was he just playing along? He certainly knew how to play a mystery, and keep all people around him on their toes, guessing. But honestly, after what he had to endure as a successful gay man in show business, I can't blame him too harshly. You don't really know what a comic genius you are until the shit hits the fan, and then what do you do to keep it all growing? It seems at a certain point his good luck ran out, all without selling his soul to the devil. It is a miracle, especially knowing the deep darkness he fell into. He was so fortunate to have loving friends to help pull him out of that. Yet, he told no one about his cancer. Controlling to the very end. Very sad. I'm crying as I write this. OMG. I used to visit my aging parents in their conservative home town. There was an x-rated movie theater about 30 minutes away. I used to go there to get my dick sucked, masturbate, or suck dick with other like-minded men. Many of those cute, fun guys were in hetero relationships, starving for male intimacy. I loved chatting with them post-orgasm. When news hit about Paul, I fell to my knees. It could have been me! At the time, I hated what the media was doing to him. They were all hypocrites, feeding on the normal gay man for money. So many disgusting people in our society. Absolutely epic!

This is currently true in Manhattan for high-priced clubs. When I joined my local Y, they offered a senior discount of $65 for 30 minutes. I paid it, but 30 minutes went by so fast, I soon realized I couldn't afford it. I think so, too, and I enjoy it. However, my local Y specializes in many programs for young children. Maybe I'm crazy, but I envision lots of child-pee in their pool water, so I've yet to use the pool. Before Covid, I belonged to a gym that had an adult-only pool. I miss that luxury. I can't imagine what that feels like, but to me it sounds like a good goal. Even at my current age, I enjoy looking at my cock and balls in the mirror. Not so much my ass, because I used to have a nice one. No matter what, carrying extra weight at our age places a strain on our bodies. I will say, extra weight can help with a fall, so I try like hell to avoid falling. I have no padding. Without excess weight, I have more energy, and less pain in my skeleton. I decided at age 50 to never gain weight again.

Diego Sans has always made my heart flutter. I would act like a silly fool if I ever had the chance to meet him. I think he's one of the sexiest men in porn, and one of the most handsome. He has amazing star quality. I always thought he was one guy in porn who could end up doing whatever he wanted, and be a success. There are so many amazing photos in this thread. I don't think the guy can take a bad picture.

OMG, I finished E2. I had completely forgotten about the pedophilia accusation scandal. This guy's life is a roller-coaster of drama, with a very tragic end. Even though it was at times very painful to watch, I have to say I loved this documentary. In some ways, it should be a lesson for every gay man who chooses to live his life in the closet. I highly recommend that every gay person watch it.

Looks like quite a fun character. Italian/Brazilian, what a gene pool. Seems like an amazing body.
