The young ladies watching with me last night, including my niece, seemed to fully embrace the protagonist and were able to put themselves in Simon's shoes. They were pretty vocal expressing their giddiness, especially in the last scene. Also, I thought that last scene was pretty revolutionary. I'm old enough to remember watching similar same-sex scenes in the past and confronted with others' nervous snickerings. The dad's reaction to his son's homosexuality was touching here as well, and I heard sniffles around the theatre while it was playing out. I just thought it was done more effectively in the TV show Glee. All in all, I liked it. And I plan to watch it again, since I vote with my dollars, and my Movie Pass makes it a lot easier to do this.

It’s an actual movie that will roll out nationwide next Friday. It was made by Fox. We’ve won the struggle, I think. The movie theatre was filled with teenage girls who shrieked in delight and clapped their hands when our hero kissed his guy at the end of the movie (I hope that doesn’t spoil it for anyone). They actually were able to put themselves in the shoes of our gay hero. PROGRESS!

When I saw the following, I thought of this thread...

Best part...

@TruthBTold and @OCClient - just got the tickets for my niece and me for tonight’s special advance screening - 7:20pm y’all!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Baldwin;)

I am hopeful. It premieres on the 8th.

Me too...me too...In the few instances I cannot listen to a podcast or music while running, I find myself doing math problems in my head to relieve the boredom.

I was iffy about this movie, but I am going to see it because... 1. I always feel that way about Mr. Eastwood's movies and they've always exceeded my expectations. 2. I have Movie Pass, so in exchange for them tracking information, I'll see this for free (after $89.99, for the year, of course). 3. It's interesting to see how these real-life heroes would be as actors. 4. Looks like it has the @marylander1940 seal of approval.

I have 4 under my belt - the last being the LA one last year. I didn't train for this year's and I feel so lazy about it...

It's still there buddy....Plus, it'll be a planet in my heart, till my dying day.

McDormand is priceless

You’re welcome;)
