What has Showtime done to Shameless? @Avalon Episode 2 of the new season was another yawn. The wild & crazy Gallagher family is now a hardworking, law abiding family with each member having their own story. Frank is managing a campaign. Fiona is investing into real estate with advice from baby brother Liam. Lip is caring for a friend’s daughter, attending AA meetings, & working as a motorcycle mechanic. Ian, still off his meds & now out of jail, no longer wants to be the spokesperson for the gay Jesus movement. He definitely needs a boyfriend. Carl, still wearing his cadet’s uniform, is saving old dogs from being put-down. Has a basement full of them. Even gave a military send off to one. Boring Debs seems to be preparing for a lesbian relationship. Now, for the comic relief couple, YEA!, Kevin & V, have found a day care center for their twins. Only problem is, the center has room for just 1, however, they have a plan to fool the nuns. @g56whiz... Did I leave anything out? This used to be one of my favorite shows. Now, I watch it tapped with the remote in my hand to FF.

@marylander1940. The image you were timed-out for was posted in the Kamil thread. The picture showed a comparison, one of him at 16 years old & the other at 28. The age was right on the picture. It wasn’t that he “looked underage”, he was underage. Hope this clears up any confusion. Cooper

@g56whiz, And that’s why God created pause & rewind. ;-)

The much anticipated season premiere of Shameless was a big yawn! The Gallagher’s are out doing their own thing. Each family member has their own segment. Frank, the stud (seriously), is bedding the mothers of the PTA! Saw a bit too much of his bod in bed. Keep the sheets up. And, the sexually transmitted disease routine just went on too long. Thanks to the gay guys for providing some comic relief. Nice kiss! Fiona is all over town from trying to bail out Ian, to fixing up her building, & reading her bf’s iPhone messages, oops, dropped the phone in the toilet. She did look hot! Boring Debs is earning a living welding & wearing diapers (don’t ask)... Karl’s playing soldier while his “wife” is outside the camp’s fence playing cheerleader. We’re left to believe that one of the cadets killed her. As for Lip, his buzz cut will take some time adjusting to. Still smoking like a chimney & having one night stands. Seems to be a loser in relationships. Now, Ian’s in jail for blowing up a van. He’s organized an inmate strike trying to get the gay bottom inmates some rights against the aggressive tops. As usual, he’s off his meds & thinks he’s some chosen one to spread the word of Gay Jesus. Kevin & V, the bar owners, are busy trying to raise their 2 overactive daughters. Kevin feels that if playing fetch with dogs can tire them out, he can do the same with his daughters. Oh, btw, he keeps them caged in while at the bar. Forgot the young boys name, the one in private school. He’s seen outside the school trying to find the owners of the silverware Frank stole from the PTA moms during his conquests. Sounds exciting? Did I leave anything out? Hope the story line can pick up, if not, Season 9 will be it’s death knell.

No, wasn’t aware of it. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll give it a shot... I did noticed Hjordis’ cast doesn’t include Uffe. His character in Rita made a lot of growth & I found him very funny.

I agree as the action no longer focused on her family, however, we get to see how Rita became such an excellent teacher. The influence of some caring teachers who gave her encouragement & confidence was well portrayed. Also, the development of her relationship with Lea was well done. I also thought the actresses playing young Rita & Lea had a striking resemblance to their older characters. I enjoyed the very symbolic ending it had. Left you happy & with hope.

Rita: Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95Zle1x10E

I got hooked on Rita after watching the 1st episode. Rita is an excellent Dutch school teacher who loves her students but is also very complicated. She’s a hot looking sexy blond who wears the tightest fitting jeans in heels, & has the best stride on TV. She’ll also have sex with just about anyone & enjoys her cigarettes & liquor. There’s no holding back once she sees a challenge. She’s divorced & has 3 children. Two are very good looking boys. One straight & the other gay. This 5 season series with English subtitles will take you through Rita’s complex life, the highs & lows.

This was my go to newspaper for topics on Gay news & entertainment . Used to always cut out the discount coupon for the Gaiety. Before the internet & sites like Grindr the Classifieds were the way to meet people. Sad to read that their on-line news will also be closing. RIP Village Voice.

https://amp.cnn.com/money/2018/08/31/media/the-village-voice-shuts-down/index.html (CNNMoney)The Village Voice, the country's first alternative newsweekly which offered New Yorkers local news and classified ads for decades, will cease production and lay off approximately half its staff, the newspaper's owner announced Friday. "This is a sad day for The Village Voice and for millions of readers. The Voice has been a key element of New York City journalism and is read around the world," owner Peter Barbey said in a statement. "As the first modern alternative newspaper, it literally defined a new genre of publishing." "Although the Voice will not continue publishing, we are dedicated to ensuring that its legacy will endure to inspire more generations of readers and writers to give even more speed to those same goals," Barbey added. "We have begun working to ensure that the enormous print archive of The Village Voice is made digitally accessible.

It is dubbed into English. I might have preferred sub-titles.

The House Of Flowers is a new Netflix series. It’s quite good. It’s about a very likeable & good looking Mexican family that owns a very successful flower shop. It’s a crazy family that will do whatever it takes to support each other. Lots of gay, straight, & bi sex. Each of the 13 Episodes is 30 min. It was just renewed for a 2nd series. The 1st episode won me over. The House of Flowers (Spanish: La Casa de las Flores) is a Mexicancomedy-drama web television series created by Manolo Caro. It depicts a dysfunctional high-class Mexican family that owns a prestigious flower shop. The first 13-episode season was released on August 10, 2018.

Outside of Doug & Julie, is anyone happy on DOOL? So much deception currently going on. Makes it hard to watch as you see story lines repeating themselves over & over.

@E.T.Bass & @Spikeseven, Not sure how much Viagra that actor was on but I don’t recall seeing him soft in any scene... I agree, more like this on Netflix.

It’s a fun show & worth seeing before it closes on Broadway. “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical” will tap its last dance on Sunday, Sept. 16, concluding a 10-month run at the Nederlander Organization’s Palace Theater. Producers say a North American tour will being in fall 2019.

It’s not a gay movie but the male lead is a very good looking actor. The 1st 10 minutes of the film show him receiving a bj & jerked off by his lady friend. It’s called the most sexually explicit movie on Netflix. It was filmed in 3D, so, half way through the film his cum scene must have felt like it was in your face. Not a good movie but easy to FF to each sex scene without missing anything. The sex club party is worth watching more than once. https://decider.com/2016/02/04/love-most-sexually-explicit-movie-ever-on-netflix/
