It's not even about it being a "homo agenda" movie, best12bars. Honestly, I don't really know what it is. From the moment I heard about it I've had zero desire to see it, and the more I hear about it, the less I want to see it (if that's possible).

I would go see it in your place Kringas, but I have to wait another freaking month...

Think of it as "Seven Brothers for Seven Brothers."

...with six of them missing, and no dance numbers.

I would go see it in your place Kringas

That made me giggle, thinking there's some sort of requirement that every gay man must go see this movie and that you'd go and check my name off for me.

Sounds good.

Moreover, I just want to see it badly, just like I want to see King Kong, Rent, The Producers and Memoirs of a Geisha, and am just annoyed I have to wait so long.

AND, I go to the cinema so rarely it's a miracle I want to see so many in the same year...

Kringas---didn't you get your ticket in the mail? They sent them to all card-carrying homos worldwide.

You can send a proxy if you want.

Apparently I can send a Doxy, too.

Part of it may be that I just find that most movies with gay leading characters don't ring true to me. I also don't care for Heath or Jake. Nor do I enjoy sitting in a movie theatre and hearing people squirm and make noises of disgust when there's man on man action on the screen.

It's funny, I have more of an issue with gay characters in musical theatre...

It's OUR FREAKING GENRE, and we can't even manage to get one decent gay character that's NOT an anachronism?

I confess that sometimes I want to leave this board and never look back.

[Kringas]

Posted: 12/27/05 at 5:56pm

I know what you mean, Doxy, though I guess it's all subjective and there will never be one gay film, show, character that appeals to all of us.

As far as I see, they're all either lisping queens or sexless queens.

A real man would be nice for once. That's one of the reasons I want to see Brokeback...

Not that I claim to be straight-acting, but I am not lisping, I ain't know queen, and I am definately not sexless.

It'd be nice to see a character that I could actually RELATE to, not just laugh at because it's a stereotype (Roger De Bris, anyone?)....

Rathy --- What would we do without you?

(everybody sing along from "Company')

Then add in "Think of Me" from Phantom, after that.

Then give Rathy a big hug.

Shifting gears:
The problem with any gay character is that too many of us bring a "laundry list" of an agenda for what we hope that one character is or represents. Who could possibly live up to that? I don't expect any gay character to be "all things to all people." It isn't possible.

I just wish they wouldn't always be the gay equivalent of "Aunt Jemima" and "Uncle Remus" all the time. Or a child molester. That's all we ever do, according to most perception out there: Make people laugh a lot with our "colorful" ways... or murder them in their sleep... or sexually abuse their children.

I was friends with Margaret Cho years ago when she was doing her TV show, and she was under SO much pressure to be "all positive things to Asians." She couldn't deal, and it wasn't pretty to watch. She had a big meltdown back then, and I felt so sorry for her.

"I confess" I was really bugged watching Roger de Bris and Carmen Ghia on the big screen. Such cartoons. But if you read the main board, you probably know that already.

Forgot about Child Molesting...

I agree it's hard to create a good gay character, but it seems no one even tries.

Only a few straight plays have managed anything bordering on realistic for me...

"which one of you is the bender" HAHAHA

Rath - I do that all the time with internet sites/people. I get so sick of it.

I confess my family doesn't really know I'm gay. 'Cause technically I don't really label myself...and I don't date ever. lol. I don't see the point of bringing it up if I'm not dating anyone. Though I don't think my mom would be surprised if one day I was just like, "okay you know what, I'm not really interested in guys. I never date the ones that ask me out not only because they're losers, but because I just don't find them attractive." Except I do find some men attractive and would date like....Ken Wanatabe or Johnny Depp. Hell yes I would, sex and everything.

lol...........

My mom kept asking me and then I just shouted


"WE TAKE TURNS G*DDAMMIT!"

Love her.

[OddExoticCreature]

Posted: 12/27/05 at 7:13pm

that's actually one of the reasons I don't clue my mother in. She's very curious about lesbianism in the first place, so she'd ask me questions I definitely wouldn't want to answer.

This is lame and off topic, but I confess that I've spent all day watching Scrubs and Veronica Mars.

It's been a good day :)

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 12/27/05 at 7:18pm

Kitz, I thought I'd made it clear that you are not allowed to change your av.

Fix it.

[Kitzarina]

Posted: 12/27/05 at 7:24pm

Is that better?

And just for you, photographic proof of the existence of the infamous ex. This is us at a school dance in February (pre breakup):

I believed you. Was someone questioning your integrity?

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 12/27/05 at 7:35pm

Kitz, you are so cute. So very cute.
He is, too. Hope the stumbles are fun even if you're not really together.

Oh and I confess I missed my little doggie so much that I'm VERY content with him here sleeping on me right now.

I confess that I am appalled that this thread has been dormant since 7:35 last night!! *weeps*

I hate dress rehearsals. (I'm doing a concert production of Oliver! on Staten Island...) Last night, we were there for FIVE HOURS. I'm playing oboe and English horn in the orchestra, and by hour 4, there was blood on my reed. I can barely speak today...and tonight is the special preview for the investors and bigshots who run the Cultural Center, and our first recording session. I have NO idea how the f*uck I'm gonna make it through that crap...

I hate the oboe. *steps on it and burns it*

I also confess that I have not had an orgasm in five days.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 9:48am

Five days? And this is big news or something?

[JailyardGuy]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 9:50am

it's just annoying.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 9:50am

Jaily...why don't you shove the oboe....well you know where..that should resolve your orgasm problem too.
