I still maintain that escorts who whine about ALL the Scammers out there are lazy P****Y whiners. It takes like 2 minutes to detect and block someone. Those of us old enough to remember pagers and showing up at hotels over an hour away at 2am only to be told by the front desk there's "nobody here by that name", WE had something to bitch about. And that happened to me at most 5 times in 2 decades. I'm not lucky, I'm average.

Ha!

As the release date of the sadly likely disappointing 28 Years Later (Night of the Living Dead aside, I'm no Zombie fan, but how can it compare to the shock of 28 Days Later brutal take on the genre?) I decided to link to the original, unaltered, haunting to say the least, reading by Taylor Holmes of Rudyard Kipling's dreadful and beautiful poem BOOTS. It's a brainworm, something you'll hear as you fall asleep, and for that I"m sorry, but it's extraordinary, and for that you are welcome. (I use that word, eaxtraordinary, too often, but this is)

One smart tactic in finding a long term escort who stays excited to see you, pick those who smile and laugh a lot in the first few sessions. Enthusiasm over sullenness (even a sexy sullenness) will serve you well in the long run.

When young I spent SO MUCH time with SO many men with psoriasis and others with eczema. As long as the escorts are smart enough to understand what you have also isn't communicable, the good ones will see it as a beautiful tattoo from God. That's the challenge, finding a guy more informed than reactionary. Find him, stick with him, and at that point stop shopping. I wish you well.

In a later career article in the NYTimes Reubens said that the Walgreens (now closed) across from Arclight (Now Closed, thank you Forever Flu), was one of his favorite places in LA :-)

I remember a Q/A with the director and the three actors and one said about "The Kiss" during screenings in Mexico the audience would scream NO, and in Spain the audience would scream YES! :-) It's quite a thing that the director went on to be both so successful and lauded, and both male leads have done very well. She's done more than just fine too. A really rare and beautiful thing.

Guys are attracted to other guys for things other than looks or money. Sometimes it's fun to fuck someone who's a total trainWreck. But your last sentence is spot on. How did this movie get made? Luca probably read the screenplay, written by the guy he worked with on Challengers (a good movie) then the book, on a flight b/w Rome and LA, and got some harebrained idea to make it. I'm guessing the actors did it for nearly nothing just because it looked like "Challengers" was going to do well and they wanted to tag along, but how did he convince investors to invest in a movie based on a bad book by an overpraised author written decades ago and adapted by a man with only one other credit ? I do not know. Force of will? Oh well. Maybe he got Daniel Craig attached to the script at the very beginning. That might do it. I hope people didn't see this movie because I made the original post. I guess in the original post after my snide remark about Roger Moore being closeted and presumably a bit kinky, I should have said the movie wasn't good. My bad. I do recommend people see I am Love and A Bigger Splash (I think they are both streaming on Kanopy)

It is a fun movie. If you are inclined to see it, I would suggest seeing it in the Theater. It's a BIG active movie, and the music is fantastic. Who knew you could meld Irish Folk music with good Hip Hop beautifully? The Irish Folk Singer villain is super hot. It's well-made. I think you'll enjoy your night out.

Holy Fucking Shit. That is my new Phone and Computer Lock Screen. Thank you.

Agreed. Beautiful man, gifted and hard-working family.

it wasn't. It disappointed you, but it's not a disappointing film objectively, such as say Godfather 3. In other words, the acting, cast, writing, source material, and setting do not fall short of the talent and potential. However, there are other reasoned reasons to dislike the film: ......Very sorry, I was going to link to a Wesley Morris article I THOUGHT I remembered where he was critical of it, but I can't find it. My memory was the criticisms that seemed most serious at the time, had more to do with it being "another movie about young white people struggling with sexuality", which is usually a fair criticism and I agree that Plot needed to stop being a thing in movies LONG ago, but in this case, it's so well-made, that that standard jab is weak. All this goes a long way, also nowhere, to my question, "what did you (wrongly :-) ) find disappointing about the film?"

Haven't seen it, probably won't. Always thought it was too bad he and Ryan Philipe never took off. Beautiful, reasonably talented men.

That was an awful awful awful dreadful shit song. Please don't ever do that again. Goddam, my earholes.

I get this sometimes when I travel and want to see something significant, but far. You have the next day planned, but between check in and check out...nothing. NO food. Anywhere. Grocery closes at 8 (7?!). Too dark to walk around. Cheese sandwich and night night. I sympathize and empathize.

My relationship with the High Line is complicated. On the one hand I resent it being there and how the city has changed. On my other hand, it's fucking perfectly realized tourism. It's art. I don't know wether to curse the Barry and DVF or congratulate them.

I watched it, he didn't. Escort Gavin Geoffrey Diller partnered on and off with "Bear". Seems like they were very close. In the Flesh: Undressing for Success

Tennessee wrote an excellent, tragic of course, short story about exactly that!

I don't know if any of you are old enough to watch CBS Sunday morning (between Murder She Wrote and Matlock), but here is the longer unaired version of the interview. Is they the youngest looking (and acting) 38 year old ever?

Am I missing it, or is there really no discussion of Cole or of Oh, Mary! ? Doesn't seem possible. nytimes.com WWW.NYTIMES.COM nytimes.com WWW.NYTIMES.COM

Yes. Both are Gimmicky. Both are brilliantly realized and innovative and 100% hitech-dependent. And both are cornerstones in a kind of art we can't yet imagine.

Awkward Porn star and political Writer from the '70s, David Allen; people often called him the world's Oldest Twink. It fit.

Loved it.

To Whomever?! WTF? Just "Whoever", sorry.
