Oh I hope you can find it, Janice! Get Real is one of my favorite movies! Yes, it does have some sad parts in it, but it has some comedy too. Steven's friend Linda, played by Charlotte Brittain has some of the funniest lines in the movie. She was so cute in the film. And even though Get Real was released several years before Brokeback Mountain, the two boys definately have some Jack and Ennis qualities.

If you don't see the movie in the Drama section at the video store, you might check the Romance section too, or look over in Foreign Films. Get Real is a British movie.

Good Luck Janice and please let me know how you liked it!

OMG David!!!   

Just watching that clip, in silence (I told you my speakers were acting up) made em cry!  I have GOT to see that film immediately!!  Thank you for telling me about it, you lovely man

I'm glad you liked it Susie! You really didn't miss too much without your speakers working. The clip I posted didn't have any dialogue anyway. It had a song playing instead. 

I hope you get a chance to watch it soon! I highly recommend Torch Song Trilogy too, if you haven't seen it yet. Also, The Unknown Cyclist is very good too! Danny Nucci (  ) stars in that movie.

Why Thank You Dottie!

I saw Get Real a few years ago, man it is a heart breaker. I felt so sorry for that kid. I just wnated to pick him up and hold him.

The Brits make so many more gay movies than the Americans seem to, I wonder why?

I know it! Steven is a beautiful soul. He's so loving, caring and gentle. We learn to care about him deeply as we watch the movie and we can feel his pain. This shows just how powerful and well made this movie is.

The Brits make so many more gay movies than the Americans seem to, I wonder why? 

I've wondered this too. Perhaps they are more enlightened than we are over here. Or perhaps they are more willing to take a risk on making a movie based on a controversial subject for many people.

British movies are always very good too. So are their television series. I also love Australian movies.

Thinking about you while watching Ghost Hunters tonight!

I saw the opening credits of the original quuer as folk last night - ie the UK one - which was ground breaking drama at Channel 4 (a non pay per view channel) at the time.


I hadn't realised who wrote it. RusseL T Davies - as in the man behing the brilliant new 3 seasons of Doctor Who!

That man is very good at his job I tell you!

I completely forgot to watch Ghost Hunters last night Dottie! Can you believe that? 



Well, I will definately watch Most Haunted Live tomorrow! And did you know Ghost Hunters is going to have a live event on Halloween? I'm going to watch that too!

Queer as Folk was brilliant, the UK version ... I've not seen the US version.  It was pretty steamy stuff and taught me a lot of stuff I didn't know!

Hi Susie and Kelda! 

I have never seen the UK Queer As Folk; only the American version. My boyfriend has seen the UK one though and he told me it's very good; much better than the American one. So, I'm sure I'd like it. Maybe they will air it here someday.

Kelda, I'm familiar with Channel 4. Many of the programs airing here in the US are from Channel 4 in the UK. Often times, the shows on the Discovery Channel and TLC (The Learning Channel) are originally from Channel 4. Even Super Nanny which airs on CBS is from Channel 4. It says so at the end of the show. I've always enjoyed the Channel 4 programs. They are very good.
