I've just ordered a copy and I can't wait to see it when it arrives in a few days time. Yeah, Marlon Kittel is cute, but personally I wouldn't mind some a that there Robert Stadlober!! There's just something about that boy!! :P

I just added "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" to my original list.
In most ways, this isn't really a gay-themed film, but Val Kilmer does play a gay private investigator, and it's heartening to see his character's sexuality being handled as a non-issue.
It's a comedy-mystery, and I liked it quite a lot. Robert Downey, Jr. gives a wondeful performance; it was the first time I saw how attractive he can be.
Recommended.

"Girls Will Be Girls" just arrived, and will watch it tonight. This is the other movie featuring Miss Coco Peru, who I met on my cruise.
Will post a review soon.

Anke, I LOVED it! I thought it lacked maturity in some respects and was occasionally a little cringeworthy, but Robert Stadlober was superb - what charisma and real screen presence! Marlon kittel was also very good - I loved the relationship between those two... so sweet! Great love scene between them - beautifully played and completely believable.
Cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!!!!!!...(sorry, you have to scroll)
...even with stupid hair and 'Saturday Night Fever' dress sense :laugh:

Watched "Totally F**d Up" last night, a Gregg Araki 1992 movie. Think I mentioned I'm working my way through all the gay movies I can find that I haven't yet seen--I'd seen this years ago but didn't remember much about it.
If I were doing a syllabus for a course on gay films, I think I'd include this movie. Interesting for its perspective on disaffected gay youth of the 90s, the first generation to grow up seeing an out gay culture. Their blase attitude about being gay is what makes this film interesting. It's maybe a little heavy on avant-garde technique, but still interesting.
