MaybeMaybeNot

Entertainment (film/TV) and all the businesses that feed off it. But, I don't mean to hijack the discussion, just reflecting on what I am seeing and hearing.

I think it is a reasonable cost for a nice venue (i.e. not the Burbank studio where you can't see) where you get to see a dozen or more beautiful men totally naked. Most people can handle the increase, I am sure. Unfortunately, Los Angeles is struggling as one of its primary industries has disappeared overnight, and this will be prohibitive for some unless that industry returns.

It is interesting that as I was typing my response, you were typing your. I feel like you are saying a number of things I feel.

I am, for the most part, still in the closet. I grew up in a conservative environment. If pressed, I know my parents would say they knew I was gay. Unfortunately, that was not acceptable. I was in denial until after they died. I moved across the country for work, and then alone and struggling to make friends, I had to come to terms with the reality of my sexuality or face loneliness. I was 40. My two closest friends know and a few gay friends. When I told one of my closest friends whom I knew would be accepting, I cried. I have not told my brother., my nieces, my nephew. I suspect my closest friend in my new city is gay, but we have a similar background and I don't want to tell him. He may be in denial as well. I have not told the longtime female friend who has been pining for me for 10 years and can't seem to understand that she can't negotiate a relationship with someone who is not interested. That's traumatic in its own way. I think about fully coming out, but my biggest concern is my brother's ex-wife, who probably knows I am gay and has tried to prevent me from spending time with my nephew a few times because of it. Oddly enough, I suspect her brother is gay. But, I also struggle with disappointing people from my past. Most of my close friends would be 100% supportive. I have been with my partner for 7 years, and most of my core support have no idea. It is very weird. Part of it is, sexuality is very personal. By coming out, I feel like it is revealing something very personal. The moment you tell someone you are gay, you are revealing something about your sex life. To me, that is private. I save that for anonymous message boards. I really need to see a counselor.

I have been to North Hollywood. Add on $10 for non-members. I have gone on Fri and Sat nights and enjoy myself. I have not been to the other two places so cannot compare. Let me know if you have questions.

You found him on MF, and he's gay. Try not to overthink it.

I saw Old Friends in L.A. A fantastic night of theatre.

Anyone with money to spend would fit in very well. Go have a fun time!

This is the first season in a while I really wish I could make it to NYC. Maybe Happy Endings, Death Becomes Her, and Boop all sounds great. I already know Old Friends is fantastic (saw it in LA). Plus, Smash got a good review in the Times. Hopefully Broadway is regaining its footing.

Again, everyone knows the IMDB rating carries no weight since it was review-bombed. The only review aggregator that couldn’t be bombed was Cinemascore, which gathers data from people exiting theaters. There it earned a B+, the same as the hit Minecraft Movie. Based on members who actually saw it, Snow White is 100% Fresh on Company of Men. Post Edited. ‘Snow White’ Flagged By IMDB Due To Intense Review-Bombing WWW.FORBES.COM Well, in the case of Snow White, IMDB would seem to disagree.

It was review-bombed. Everyone knows that. The amount of racist hate I saw alone online for this movie was disheartening. Snow White brightened my day, and I loved it. That's enough for me. Most young people today have not seen the movie. I wish they would bring it back on the big screen, but with it being readily available on Disney Plus, it's not likely it would have done well enough to warrant a reissue.

@ApexNomad I am by no means an expert on their library. I feel like, though, their work falls into two camps. The first is traditional musical theatre where everything rhymes perfectly and develops an idea. The second is more pop-infused so is repetetive with imperfect rhymes. I prefer the musical theatre style. That said, I appreciated the score to Dear Evan Hansen but didn't care for the show itself. I was one of the few not into La La Land. I enjoy the music to Greatest Showman but get distracted by the more pop lyrics. I don't remember much about A Christmas Story.

I find their stuff hit or miss, mostly hit. These are some really good songs. I love their score to Dogfight, if you've ever heard that.

Not me!

That makes me so happy! I saw it a second time. It is delightful.

I just watched the show. The first episode left my heart racing. But overall, it's hard to create a fully engaging show when all you have is assumptions and possible scenarios. Although certain episodes flash to different versions of the truth, at times, the shows seems to commit to one narrative, then switches gears. Is Jose violent? Is he sweet? Did he love his wife? Depends on which episode you watch. There's no attempt to commit to a cohesive picrure. There are some brilliant performances, though the writing is not always believable. The show definitely feels exploitative at times. It's hot seeing Chavez and Koch frequently undressed, but it also feels icky, knowing these guys were sexualized their whole lives. Adding a scene of them kissing on the lips, plus visualizing them incestuosly, not to mention fabricating the notion that Eric was gay . . . Exploitative.

I am happy to report the new Snow White was really charming and delightful. I am sucker for a well done musical. The new songs are fantastic, the songs from the original movie are well done. It's nice to have people starring in a movie musical who can actually sing. Rachel Zegler is glorious. Andrew Burnap is charming and super sexy. Gal Gadot pulls off her song well enough. I very quickly warmed up to the CGI dwarfs. I liked that they didn't recreate the original movie because those adaptations are never very good. The reports of its artistic demise were premature.

In the past, the nudity was from afar or above. This was a really great view; I loved the bent over curve.

Good news, we get a good view of Reacher's backside at the end of Season 3 Episode 6. Beautiful.

Add me to the no fingernail polish trend, as well as facial piercings. Not personally a fan of excessive tattoos or long, straggly beards. The first STI I ever got was from a man with a long, straggly beard, and it scarred me, I guess.

As I walk through Target or CVS noting how everything is locked up, I drram about moving to Japan. A friend traveled there and was amazed how women would leave their purse in public and no one would touch it. She also said it was so clean. I could go for that.

Other than getting some precum in my mouth, I have only actually swallowed my partner's load. I was never interested in commiting to making a guy cum until I decided to try on his big one. I remember watching porn, working up the desire to do it. As I worked hard on him, I decided I wanted the load; I deserved it after all my effort!

I don't watch a lot of new television series, but my partner and I enjoy watching Reacher together. We had a few butt shots in Season 1 but none in Season 2. I think we need some in Season 3. Ritchson doesn't seem to mind sharing.

Do you or anyone else know how it went?
