I don't remember if the movie ever said. SOME kind of Brain Injury.

It's an objectively original plot/tale: two poor mountain ranchHands falling hard in the 1970s To call it cliche only because the elements that make it tragic (secrets/closet/struggles/death) are familiar is to truly not understand what is cliche. By no possible stretch of the imagination could you call BrokeBack a rehash of anything that's come before it. A movie where the main character is a detective, about to retire, who has to complete one more "impossible" case is a cliche not just because the story has been told a thousand times, which I repeat Brokeback hasn't, but also because retelling it doesn't contribute anything to our understanding. You may be cynical of a great work of art like Broke Back, but five minutes on almost any gay Message Board will show you how deeply it contributed to people's understanding of how hard it is to live a lie. The post above me said it's "all about taste". I very much disagree. Broke Back is an objective work of art. Just because you don't like something shouldn't preclude you (I don't mean you Benjamin I mean generic You) from classifying something important as important. I don't like Philip Roth, but I will defend him as a great artist, a great writer. This habit people have adapted in the last 20 years of not sticking to their guns about something being objectively good, or bad, and not making arguments on the one side or the other baffles me. It's leaked into criticism. Read a Gore Vidal critique of a book or a Anthony Lane or Pauleine Kael review of a movie and you can see how important it is to argue the worth of something. Today critics say things akin to "it's not my cup of tea". Grow a pair! Anyway, to shit on Broke Back but to swoon (and again I don't mean you Benjamin, I don't remember if you did) in another thread over an entertaining and insignificant (but not cliche!) show like Grey Gardens is to just not give a crap about art. That makes me sad. I usually express my sadness through anger.

Definitely loved that one.

An argument can be made that an hour is an hour. Nevertheless, there's a Gaping Gap b/w 2 and 8! and 8 is more than enough.

I guess sleep with the "right" wives? In other words wives smart enough to keep their mouths shut about the details and motivations, but confident enough to push their husbands in the right ways.

Hated Nomandland so much. I love depressing films, but have a point. Her earlier movie, The Rider, showed great promise. But she's a sellout like so many (but not all). Not basing this on Nomandland, but on the fucking stupid superhero movie she's got in the works (finished?). The Rider:

Cliche defined: 1. a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. "the old cliché “one man's meat is another man's poison.”" 2. a stereotype or electrotype. How can a movie about two poor mountain ranchHands falling hard in the 1970s fit either definition? And were that true, given that innumerable plays and short stories, generally shorter than Novellas, became successful films, what would its clicheness have to do with it being a Novella originally? I'm fairly certain the word you are looking for is unprecedented, not cliche.

I'm glad I didn't pay today's prices for Naked Boys, but it was definitely fun.

Looks like a good book. To me his greatest were Who's Afraid, Angeles in America (though I get the criticism of an entirely straight cast), and of course everything Nichols and May.

Yeah I definitely fucked the Peanut Butter jars when I was a kid. I always wanted to use it as lube, and then the bottom could say "you got peanut butter in my chocolate!" Many of you won't get that reference.

Don't know who is Travis Bryant, but my first orgasm was in a vacuum cleaner.

Great to meet you!

15+ years ago WorldEscortSean insisted in the forum that 2 people equals double rates. But most others disagreed with him, and now he's dead. Regular price.

He's upset about something, it almost certainly has nothing to do with you. Move along....for now. You can check in with him again after some time has passed.

Josh Weston shot three copious loads in an hour session with a friend, and that friend was one of many appointments that day.

I think Tops. I started versatile, hated it, realized I didn't have to be, so I stopped.

Again, not really understanding what ONLY FANS is, despite multiple ppl explaining it to me, as one old(er) escort to (what it sounds like) is a retired escort, I will tell you that in the current culture people hear "creepy" and/or "Time Waster" where, in the past, they might have heard "opportunity".

It's a fucked up request. If the escort knows he can't perform reliably for clients who are X, Y, or Z, then before finalizing the meeting he can ask the client "are you X,Y, or Z? I ask because, unfortunately, history has taught me that intimacy with men who are X,Y and Z, do not go well for me." This avoids the fucked up practice of asking the client for photos, and minimizes the chances that the appointment won't go well.

Sorry, I don't know anything about those websites, and I am sorry you aren't getting the help you want. I did want to tell you I LOVE "Okay, so the assholes have spoken, anyone else?" And I'd like to ask for your permission to put that on a T-shirt? :-)

Nothing to do with CPAC, but 21 years ago I drove down to the Hotel Del Cornado for an overnight with a Nephrologist. Two nights later I drove down for an overnight with another Nephrologist client who was there for the same Nephrologists' Convention! I told the second guy I'd been there the other day to see someone else attending the convention and he really wanted to know who! Of course I couldn't tell him.

I talked to him a few times at a West Hollywood restaurant The French Market, now closed. He's super sweet, very flirty, and is no different in person than when he performs.

Very sorry about your friend Ron, LC. Colin was definitely my favorite character with the best acting and yes that scene SPOILER!!! around his bed that starts kinda lovely but then gets super depressing, as you realize he's not the person he was, is beautiful and awful and important.

Sorry to be contrarian: My main problem was the casting, way too caffeinated and zero emotional depth. And what in the heck was the deal with all the anti-Mom rants toward the end of the final episode. Can someone explain that to me? It seemed so mean spirited and ungrounded. I give it a B-, JUST above average. His original 1999 British QAF was amazing and I'll always love sexy Jack Harkness, fans of Torchwood know whom I mean :-) Watch or Rewatch The Normal Heart if you want a well, and gay, cast AIDS-related TV experience.

Kite Surfing. I've tried it several times on two separate Caribbean isles, I even took lessons, but I can not get the fucking hang of it.

Apart from the shower behind a locked door, nobody was nude in our house, though dad would walk from the bedroom to the bathroom in briefs. Typical for Midwest and it was only after I moved to California that I learned there were families comfortable with nudity. Actually, there was a Brady Bunch episode about that now that I think about it.
