Resurrecting the Movies thread...

After seeing this post, I had to look up Chad Allen's bio. What an interesting actor. Apparently he played Matthew Cooper on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman which I watched regularly. But I don't remember him. Here's a quote from Chad:
"[Until Brokeback Mountain (2005)] there was a huge fear or belief that you couldn't tell a story with a gay hero and have it make money. A well-made movie with a good story trumps everything. It's not just a victory for gay rights; it's a victory for humanity."

I never watched that show so I'm not sure when I became aware of him. He's one of the few 'christians' that I respect in show business .

We should git you out a those oilfields and into the movie theater on a regular basis, on a professional basis! (Who knows, you probably run the Toronto Film Festival and your oilgun tag is a cover LOL!)
Finally, it's the Denver Intl. Film Festival, and my list of films to see includes Laurel Canyon, Wendy and Lucy, The Eternal City, The Hustler, and, on closing night, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kit and Wild Combination: a Portrait of Arthur Russell. I wish I were seeing more international films, so I'll try to add to this list as/if I get more time!

Ten months later, I finally get to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! It was playing at the Central City, Colorado, Opera House (a historic venue dating from the Colorado Gold Rush) so EDelMar and I tooled up there to see it in wide screen. Sundance was definitely a man in the mold of Ennis, while Paul Newman as Butch was a Jackian character. Sundance even told Butch more than once: "You keep thinking, that's what you do best."
An inadvertently funny passage came late in the movie when Etta, Sundance's girlfriend as played by Katherine Ross, kept saying, "There are other ways to go straight" and the camera zoomed in on Butch and Sundance looking at each other intently. I could just imagine them telepathing to each other, "Why would we want to do that?!???

Oh, I remember Matthew. I was an avid Dr Quinn viewer back in the days. I haven´t seen him in anything since, though.
I´ll try to check out the new movie

(maybe there's just nothing good to see...?)
