Has anyone seen Shortbus? It's John Cameron Mitchell's follow-up to Hedwig and the Angry Inch and includes real & explicit sex scenes. I thought it was a very well made film with very believable characters that were treated with respect and affection. It explored its themes with intelligence, humour and a refreshing honesty and it actually treats sex like it was a valid human activity. I highly recommend it.
The main actor, Sook Yin Lee, is a well known radio personality here in Canada and she almost lost her job at the CBC when the vp of Radio got wind of her involvement in the film. Luckily, many high profile personalities sent in letters supporting her and the project so they reversed their decision.

Impish saw it and recommended it. Shortly thereafter he disappeared from the board, never to be heard from again. I hope there isn't a curse attached to seeing it! I assume you saw the movie on DVD??

Yes I did, but I remember when it was at the theatre. The DVD was very reasonably priced for a new release (CAN$16.99) so I bought it blind and I wasn't disappointed. I found it to be a very validating, feel-good experience. The extra features are decent, (unlike BbM's, he he) and make you appreciate the film even more.

Anyone heard of (or seen) "The Bubble"? I thought it had been mentioned here, but I cannot find it.
It's by Eytan Fox - Yossi & Jagger! It's kind of a sequel, I think..
Should be interesting!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link!!!!!!
I had Googled The Bubble but that never came up. There is much less info on this movie than Eytan Fox's other two more popular movies. (which I both own on DVD) I know nothing of a DVD release date yet. I am very anxious to see this movie.
Here is a link to a youtube video if you have not seen it. "The Man I Love" sung by Ivri Lider. I just love him. Of coarse. He's Israeli! :)
