The worst one I saw--- hmmm I've seen about 10. "The Phantom of the Opera" was boring I have to admit. I did like the muscular guy during the opera scenes though. "Thoroughly Modern Millie" had some weak parts but overall I really like some of the big songs.

That won the Best Musical Tony right? 1989 I believe?

Imagine a foursome with "peak" Dawson, Cain, and Sean Cody's Brandon!!!
 

I always wanted to hire Dawson from CF but regrettably something always got in the way! He's a really nice guy in real life btw

A part of me has always wanted that gay village back... it's not realistic today, and not going to happen anymore in the future, but it kinda was a little magical <3

I love Barbara Stanwyck's performance in this movie - and that ending is wonderful!

Now I realize there's no such thing as "perfect" fellas, but what if you were creating a town from scratch and you wanted it to be a place for gays to come and really be happy there, what would that town include?
 
Here are my top 10 things - Please share your top 10 things too!
 
1. A Sheetz. Yeah, that makes no sense, but it's Sheetz lol...but the Sheetz would be lit up in rainbow colors. (Oh and the local gas station would be called 69.)
2. A community center. I live in Boston right now and we have a good health center but no real community center. I would want to build a place where there was always something fun going on - bingo nights, movie discussions, book clubs, socials, dances, parties, personalized therapy sessions, maybe an in-house masseur... a place to just relax, make friends, and be social with real live breathing people (because I believe in balance and a little time away from the iPads and iPhones...)
3. A great local theatre. It would be the size of a Broadway house - and gorgeous architecture, and the seasons would be jam-packed with all the great classic shows plus new shows as well to support up-and-coming theatre people. And of course a star-studded gala performance by the likes of Linda Eder, Donna Murphy, and Audra McDonald.
4. A college. It would be a college town - brimming with hunky hot guys of course, but I'd name it Harvey Milk University. Any gay boy around the world that wanted a rich, happy college experience surrounded by other gay boys would be able to come tuition-free... but honestly I'd make it tuition-free for ANY one as well.
5. A library. The gay bookstore may, alas, be obsolete by now but we can build a magnificent library with every gay book in creation and every Broadway cast recording ever. It would have the complete back catalogs of magazines like The Advocate and Out and Genre and also International Male and Undergear because why not?
6. A big beautiful park. I miss the old park back in PA very much, and I'd just love to have an enormous park - maybe even half the size of Central Park, and it would also have waterfalls, flower gardens, different types of trees, peaceful walking paths, brooks and streams, lakes, statues of LGBTQ trailblazers...
7. A "Main Street Gay USA". I love towns with one strip with everything on it, but this one would have cobblestone streets like Greenwich Village has, and be simply for just walking with big parking lots surrounding it.
8. A fudge and hot cookie cafe/shop. I think "Billy's Fudge Factory" is a cute name but it would be like a central place to get all different kinds of fudge, hot cookies served with milk, pastries, coffee, tea, and then an adjoining shop with homemade soaps, candles, etc.
9. A fantastic Pride Month. Drawing people by the thousands from all around the USA and the world, this town would have the world's most spectacular pride celebrations - picnics, fairgrounds, rainbow fireworks - just an all-out extravaganza!
10. A theme park. To draw in tourists and families, a big theme park would be in the town. My idea was a new water park called Splash! with rides, pirates, a real-life Titanic replica, etc.
 
Got carried away lol but would love to hear all of your ideas as well.
 
I've been to Provincetown a few times and this was inspired by P-town. Basically this town would combine P-town, Key West, Eureka Springs, Broadway, Greenwich Village, your everyday college town, and wrap it all up in a small town friendly feel and charm.

I'd like it to call it Rainbow Beach.

E.T.
 
(And I can't stand Sci-Fi)
 
Unless you're a cold-hearted monster who's completely dead on the inside, the ending of E.T. is a real sob fest. E.T.'s spaceship comes back for him, but before he can say, "Peace out, Earth," he must say goodbye to Gertie, Michael, and Elliott.
 

I think there is absolutely nothing wrong or immoral with it. I think as long as its between two grown consenting adults, it's nobody's business but their own.
 
I actually think since sex is part of what makes a human healthy, it's perfectly natural for companionship and intimacy to be a service just like any other.
 
I do have to say that I'm speaking of men (hiring and providing) in general here.
 
I do not believe that the government has any business regulating the private matters between two consenting adults. Period.
 
As far as morality is concerned... lol. All of our "moral authorities" have proven themselves completely unworthy of being any authority about morality at all. It's a personal matter and we all have our own values.
 
I'm curious as to what your views are about it. Has anyone dealt with any shame, no matter how small, over the decision to hire or provide and how have you dealt with that?

Dunno if this has been posted but they could be good friends or just sailor buddies having fun or.... something else and that's what makes the pictures so interesting. WWII maybe or Korea?

I have an idea for a movie - it requires a big budget, a very beautiful soundtrack (which in my opinion is as important as anything else in the movie).
 
It's going to be an old-fashioned romance (between two men) and a "period piece" in a sense (set in the 1940s). I'm doing research for it now.
 
I just wanted to ask if anyone here on the forum has ever had any experience working in the movie industry or known anyone that was. I understand it's an EXTREMELY difficult industry to get into and it's based on connections, connections, connections...
 
Any one have any thoughts at all on moviemaking and what makes a movie very memorable to the audience? Thanks ?
 
I think the essential great movie needs to have three things off the top of my head:
you have to feel something and I believe a lot of that comes from subliminal feelings related to the soundtrack of the movie,
it has to make you talk about it after you see it,
and it has to make you really think in general.
 
Any insight here would be greatly appreciated!

It's hard these days to find a magnificent bodybuilder body. I'm not talking fit or merely "muscular" and slim but something like this:
 

John Pruitt had just the right kind of bulky fat on him and those pecs!!! lol

A College Student from Long Island whom I met in the bar Rounds in the 1990s. He visited me in Philadelphia several time.
 
I am quite pleased when he stripped down

This is another one - the most memorable scene in the movie in my opinion:
