Rod Hagen Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just a correction, God's Own Country is not set in Scotland, but in Yorkshire which is in England. Yorkshire huh? Well, they both got their pudding, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornytwells Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Regarding "Threesome" it caused me to dislike Josh Charles. I hate when a straight actor who plays a gay character takes offense when asked if they are gay in real life. That was Josh Charles. No one forced him to take the role. If he could not deal with the aftermath then he should not have taken the role. He had to know that he would be asked about his sexuality. he seems to be trying to make up for it if that is the case? http://rumorfix.com/2012/03/josh-charles-blasts-kirk-cameron-for-anti-gay-comments/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtime lurker Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) I finally got around to seeing Wakefield Poole's Boys In The Sand (1971), although we are getting into porn territory here. Of course, this is artsy porn with pretty cinematography and multiple exposures. Likely to put some viewers here to sleep when the sex isn't going on. Poole's subsequent Bijou, from the following year, is even more avant garde. That one you can't just see on Pornhub. You have to get it on DVD. My favorite movie of the early seventies sex explosion is Radley Metzger's Score. It is a masterpiece in hilarious dialogue, garish Eastmancolor and swinging Nixon Era kitsch... and a really great movie to be savored multiple times for the little things you overlook the first time. Two couples in scenic Yugoslavia have affairs with each other, but not the opposite genders: wife seduces wife and husband seduces husband. It is available in R rated and X rated versions, the latter is the one I have watched. The scenes with Casey Donovan (also in Boys In The Sand) and Gerald Grant together are almost as explicit as anything you see on GayTube today, but done very tastefully and artistically with fascinating camera angles. Most enjoyable are the ladies scenes, merely due to the dialogue. Sweet innocent Betsy (Lynn Lowry) is a bit embarrassed watching Elvira (Claire Wilbur) get it on with the telephone repair man and leaves early. Later on the telephone, Elvia insists to Betsy "Do you think we do that kind of thing all the time?" Betsy must be thinking she is talking about sex with strangers in general, but Elvira is fondling a pair of plastic breasts on her kitchen counter as she talks. Elvira obviously means heterosexual sex with strangers. This begins her seduction of Betsy, the wholesome Catholic girl. Of course, a nun's outfit is later worn! Well... if this sounds like your kind of movie, here's a fairly tame teaser: Edited November 25, 2017 by longtime lurker Rod Hagen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Hagen Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I saw Call Me By Your Name for the 3rd time this morning. Perhaps it's more than just liking! Guadagnino's other movies are moved to the top of my queue. Also saw it this weekend and I loved it too. Definitely see Guadagnino's A Bigger Splash http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2056771/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_5 and I am Love http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226236/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_13 Both are Movies with a capital M.

KeepItReal Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 For those who liked BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, I can recommend the new film GOD'S OWN COUNTRY, set on a farm in Northern England. It has won prizes at both Sundance and Berlinale earlier this year and is currently on the festival circuit. Should get a commercial release later in the year. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5635086/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Was able to see God's own country earlier this week - was excellent, thanks for getting this one on my radar!

Rod Hagen Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hope the QA was good; I was at the QA in the dome for the woody allen movie. I bought those tickets before I saw that there was a CMBYN QA, oh well. So, can this critic really believe the shit he's saying, or is he just fanning the flames for the magazines stupid (William F. who?) readers? http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454242/call-me-your-name-hollywood-hypocrisy-teen-sex SuperJunior and OCClient 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhexum Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) A silly trifle that I found amusing and sweet: Connie & Carla. Nia Vardalos' follow-up to My Big Fat Greek Wedding. With Toni Collette. Best pals Connie (Nia Vardalos) and Carla (Toni Collette) have a song-and-dance act at a Chicago airport, but they go on the run after witnessing a murder. In Los Angeles, they glimpse the city's drag queen scene, and believing that stage success is just a wardrobe change away, they become female impersonators. They fall into a circle populated by Connie's beau, Jeff (David Duchovny), and bar owner Stanley (Ian Gomez)(Mr. Nia Vardalos). But the killers want to make sure the women never tell what they know. I watched this 2004 comedy last night, and it was a HOOT! Starts Nia Vardalos and David Duchovny. Connie and Carla are legitimate (but not very good) singers, who are on the run from the mob because they witnessed a murder. (Sounds like "Some Like It Hot," doesn't it? However, not in that league.) They masquerade as drag queens in WEHO, where everyone thinks they're really guys. Light-hearted, lots of fun. I liked it. I love that movie. "Some Like It Hot" meets "Victor/Victoria". Not quite in the same league as either film, of course, but a wonderfully fun movie.

Kevin Slater Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 It is always hard to decide what is a "gay movie." Putting that aside and hoping not to repeat and in no particular order, I have really liked: 1. Beautiful Thing 2. The Opposite of Sex 3. Happy Endings 4. The Day Trippers 5. My Beautiful Laundrette 6. Beginners 7. Bound 8. Gods and Monsters 9. Prick Up Your Ears I have to admit that Angels in America is my favorite in general. Finally! Some good recommendations.

Rod Hagen Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 AKA L.I.E. Together Alone Every time this subject comes up you remind me of AKA. I liked it so much, I need to see it again. I was a bit astonished at L.I.E. I remember I wrote about it here when it came out, but it's just too hard to find the link. Together Alone, I loved when I saw it, but unfortunately now the convos seem nearly pre-collegiate. I think it's a movie for when you're very young, like Weekend. The only movie he made afterward, Relax It's Just Sex, had Lori Petty and I liked at the time. Now the SONG together OR alone is one of my all time favorite songs: Nvr2Thick and Kevin Slater 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
