In the Six Feet Under season 4 episode “Can I Come Up Now?”, Brenda (Rachel Griffiths) has Joe (Justin Theroux) tied to the bed when her ex boyfriend Nate (Peter Krause) drops by. Disappointingly, she unties him and gets him dressed before inviting Nate in.
Asanee Suwan is Parinya Charoenphol in a true life story of a Thai kickboxer who underwent a sex change operation (and wears makeup to his boxing matches). There’s a great scene where he gets excited over his first box of eyeshadow.
Bryce Johnson & Cole Williams in Harry and Max are two brothers, both teen idols, who find themselves attracted to one another.
Shock to the System is another Donald Strachey mystery with Chad Allen as Strachey and Sebastian Spence as his lover Tim Callahan. This time Morgan Fairchild has sent her son to “ex-gay” therapy only to get him murdered.
I found a new theme that seems kinda cool. It’s called Anaconda and comes widget ready. It took a couple of tweaks (for some reason, I like having the tags show up on the main page, not just on the single post page). The support forum page for the theme gave me a tip for the biggest problem (so far) which was the ends of some of the sentences being cut off. I kept looking in the body and the right side bar thinking the problems were there, but the forum pointed me to the left side bar, and voila, the broken words now show up.
I also spent time today upgrading some of the plugins (http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php). There was only brief panic when the whole darn blog shut down. Then I figured out to upgrade another plugin whose older version was conflicting with the upgraded one and needed upgrading itself.
Anyways, leave a comment here if the new format causes problems.
Frankie (Nick Scotti) is a straight pizza boy / actor who moves in with a gay man to get away from home when he finds his brother having sex with Frankie’s girlfriend in Kiss Me, Guido. “GWM” = “Guy With Money”, right?
In Twilight of the Golds, Brendan Fraser plays a gay man whose sister (Jennifer Beals) is pregnant. Her researcher husband (Jon Tenney) has developed a method of testing whether or not the baby will grow up to be gay. Of course the dilemma comes: does she keep it or not.
Sean O’Bryan is Fraser’s lover whose athletic ways seem to finally win over Fraser’s father (Garry Marshall) when he helps him beat his tennis rivals. Faye Dunaway rounds out the cast as his mother.
The biggest disappointment is that Brendan didn’t get his shirt off, but otherwise not too bad a movie.
The Last Year provides a look at angst ridden gay bible college students. This was a pretty bad movie. Less than stellar acting and I hate to be heartless, but by the time someone is a senior in college, they should be able to make the decision to either keep it in their pants for another year or get a job and strike out on their own. Maybe that’s easier said than done, but. . . .
Here’s the bible school bullies (a homophobic 3 Stooges) that make life hell for our heroes:
