I have been meaning to watch Munich, I will add that to my netflix queue.

The Shelter movie was made in 2003 and had a character in it that was a hustler? There were three different ones when I searched for it.

Over the weekend I went to a used book store and picked up some used ones cheap:

The Hours (a must see)
The Brylcreeme Boys (Have no idea, liked the title)
Long Time Companion
Gods and Monsters
Pi
 
and I also watched Evening (liked it, the book was better) and Fur, which is a fictionalized account of the life of Diane Arbus that couldn't hold my interest.

I watched Longtime Companion just a few weeks ago...because of you, Truman. Didn't you write about seeing that back when it came out? It was very very good but really shook me up. I couldn't stop thinking about it for a few days.

I also watched Gods and Monsters a few weeks ago, too, in one my my first "simulcasts" with Louise. It was terrific--really excellent. I want to see it again.

Yes Leslie, it was, in my comming to terms thread, which I had moved over to Safe Have because I thought it might do more good there.

I am tickled to have a copy. It was the first time I saw gay people portrayed as regular people, and inspite of the tradgey of the early HIV epidempic which was the primary focus of the story I came away with such a hopeful feeling for my own life.

The Post Mortem Bar, hell, lets not wait that long.

I have enjoyed QAF, and remember at the time how OMG I was over it, and now I am just like...."nobody is like that!" In fact I think it enforces some stereotypes I don;t particulatily care for.

But damn, a roll in the sheet with Gale Harold! You Bet!

Gale Harold is Brian, and I have never cared for Justin as a character, he is just, a child and in the whole course of the series never really developes that much.

yep Brian is cute....but I like the Michael character the best so far...

don't like his mom though...

TOO much cussing (what a lot of POTTY mouths!!)

Well, that sounds true to life. 

and boy there are a lotta nekkid hineys....

Shouldn't that read, "there are a lotta nekkid boy hineys"? 

Maybe I oughta check this series out after all.
