Odell Beckham , NY Giants. So pretty, but I'm not crazy about the tatts . Donald Glover , Atlanta, is super cute. http://smhttp.59631.nexcesscdn.net/8043173/resources/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Donald-Glover-PD.jpg Lakeith Stanfield, Get Out, Atlanta, is so handsome.

I ran across the old radio show station on SiriusXM. They play a lot of Jack Benny. They also run a lot of other old shows, comedies and dramas. It's great! Yesterday I listened to Fort Laramie, with Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince https://www.siriusxm.com/radioclassics

Airs on FX IMDB user rating weighted average for this epi = 9.8.

A brief, poignant video. Ivory discussing first love and what the future holds for Elio.

Epi 2 was not impressive. Hoping epi 3 improves.

I had a Persian buddy in college. He was so sweet, loved to drink beer and get stoned. (not that all Persian men do this. He was just special.)

Curious about a masseur on M Finder, https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/25106/

Just like hiring a new employee, one never knows until they start work. But the up front communication style (or lack of good communication) can offer clues how seriously they are treating their massage clients.

I saw Isle of Dogs today. I expect if you are a Wes Anderson fan like me, you will get a kick out of this movie. The story is set in Japan, but the theme is universal and apropos to our world today.

15 minutes. Worth it. Now I want to see the movie more than ever!

glad I watched, directed by Judd Apatow.

Thanks TruHar1! When Manfredi berated Anchise for being dumped out of the Army, I though that was a clue. I also thought Anchise and Professor Perlman had a history. But as a reminder to SK, it's just fiction.

Aciman admits he wrote Elio from his viewpoint and feelings. He is a straight man with three boys. So one might not be surprised about the comments Elio made about someday having a wife and kids or how much he enjoyed the feeling of a woman, a feeling he could get addicted to. Oliver's office was brimming with memories and artifacts about Elio, safely away from the wife. He never forgot how deeply he felt for Elio, his cor cordium. I expect his love for Elio was never matched by any man he might have played with after Italy. Aciman admits his intent isn't to give all the answers, and after all he wrote the book in a flash so he probably never knew all these things that we want to figure out, such as my burning question whether Anchise was gay, the kind of question that probably drives Aciman nutz! The takeaway will always be the mark that a man Elio desired, a man named Oliver, made on Elio's life. Beyond that, Aciman recommends we remember it's just fiction.

When saying Elio was ruined, wasn't he indicating how great the pain was? I don't think Aciman meant Elio was literally ruined for life, but just that he felt devastated when Oliver went home to the States. Aciman has repeated how the book is about desire, as well as the pain that can result when acknowledging your desire, and acting on it. He is not making any judgment. He's just writing about what can happen, and the extent that it affected Elio.

Great article. The nudity in Maurice was perfectly natural. Love that movie. Too bad the funding for CMBYN didn't come through sooner and with enough to afford Ivory directing. I'm glad he spoke the truth again, leaving no doubt about why CMBYN had no frontal nudity. Honestly, I didn't know he was partners with Merchant until the re-release of Maurice. Didn't know Ivory was gay until then. His comments about Merchant being Muslim and gay in India are important. Gay movie creators still face obstacles in India, a country that is a world leader in cinema productions. By the way, anyone that hasn't seen LOEV should go to Netflix and stream it!

Here is a UK best gay movie list, Quite a bit of overlap with the gaystarnews' list. https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/film/the-10-best-lgbt-films-of-all-time-a3799746.html

no

Love this. Funnier than a lot of skits on SNL

Great article. Thanks TruHart1 for posting it. I really love Aciman's books. The whole idea about wanting a happy ending to the movie sequel is not something I need, but it is something I hear over and over, how people pine for a happy ending to the story of Oliver and Elio, both the book and the movie. Perhaps happy endings help people mentally move on, having every loose end tied up, and the characters leaving us on a sweet and safe footing. Some on Goodreads have asked if Aciman will write a sequel to his book. My hunch is that no, he will not return to these characters. But only Aciman knows for sure. http://gotham-magazine.com/get/files/image/galleries/aciman2.jpg

Thankfully the Brits stopped hanging gay men around 1825. Thomas Jefferson believed English common law treatment of gay men too severe, and instead proposed cutting our nutz off if caught doing the hanky panky. Americans have never come close to the insidious cruel treatment of gay men that the Brits spread 'round the world.

Not all that intriguing. It's just that TC mentioned AH took smoke breaks up in the tower room where the peach scene was shot. Forgot what the other personal comment was but it was pretty mundane. Something about Hammer taking an 8 hour lunch at a favorite restaurant in Crema. Also I believe it was TC that mentioned the two actors dancing to their car stereo in the square were from Luca's partner's theater production.

John Oliver had our backs 100% tonight. He went after Mike Pence, James Dobson and Focus on the Family Last Week Tonight with John Oliver presents a picture book about a Very Special boy bunny who falls in love with another boy bunny. Proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project.

Glad to know he keeps a non stop boner in your presence.

The Roscoe's in Hollywood was recommended to me when I confessed to a foodie never having chicken and waffles. It's on my list!

No. But I have heard how oil pulling was an oral health method in olden times, and still found today in certain regions. Any basic, unrefined, cold-pressed, organic oils can be used, including olive oil, which is swished around the mouth and through the teeth.
