Is that you in your avatar? I can't tell if it's a famous person or not.

 

[Irvine511]

sadly, no. that is the one and only Jude Law.

but you're free to think that i look like him.

Well at first I thought it was Jude Law but then the more I looked at it I decided it wasn't him, lol.

 

[Irvine511]

it's totally Jude.

kind of a tribute to the fact that, over course of watching "the talented mr. ripley" i kind of came to the conclusion that i was pretty much totally gay.

great film, too. ever notice that Dickie is much "gayer" than Tom? what a tease ...

 

[joyfulgirl]

Maybe because I can't see his eyes well I decided it wasn't him. It's just not right how hot he is, though.

You know, when I saw Talented Mr. Ripley I really didn't like it much. However, recently several people who generally like the same movies I do have talked about how amazing it was so I guess I need to rent it and see it again. I hardly even remember the story line. Maybe there was weed involved.

Did you like Closer?

 

[Irvine511]

"ripley" gets better every time i see it. loads of subtext, and not just the gay subtext, but subtext about the subtext. and Jude glows Minghella is a great director, and good gosh, Italy is so sumptuous in that movie.

and Phillip Seymour Hoffman is brilliant in it as well.

i liked "Closer" but it was fairly cold. kind of a technical exercise in cinematic and acting technique, i thought, but it's always fun to watch some of the most beautiful people on the planet being utterly horrible to each other. and, strangely, in that movie, i found Clive Owen much hotter than Jude.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I agree about Clive Owen. They were all horrible and cold indeed, but I guess I was particularly impressed with Julia Roberts. And though it was cold, I guess it triggered stuff in me that made it all quite intense. Yeah, I had an intense experience with that movie, lol.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

this thread is back

Clive Owen disgusted and scared me in that movie, but he is pretty

I love Phillip Seymour Hoffman, in some strange way I find him attractive

Mrs. S, who is your avatar?

it looks like a drag queen doing Karen Carpenter.

was there pot involved?



i remember the first time i got really stoned i watched "hannah and her sisters" very, very closely. it kind of blew my mind.

sober, i can't possibly explain why.

for me, pot makes good movies better and bad movies worse.

 

[martha]

I watched some damn Andy Warhol movie stoned once. It was the third and last time I ever smoked pot. I realized that pot wasn't the drug for me. I have never felt so completely STUPID as I did just sitting there, an hour of my life gone by, watching an Andy Warhol movie. It was even the one with Perry King in it, and Perry King is hot.

It does!

Isn't that Edge from the AB/One drag pics??? Looks like him, just with some distortion in the picture from being shrunk down to avatar size.....

 

[echo0001]

I have a female friend who is straight. Completely straight. She likes men. A lot. In fact, she confessed to me that while she can't stand straight porn, she loves gay porn. And then she threatened to kill me if I told anyone.....I wouldn't confess her name in a million years. She's kind of embarrassed about it.

I think, 'whatever floats you boat, honey'. But I was wondering what a gay man might think about it....cute?....weird?....whatever?

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Yes it is Edge-so it looks distorted?

Oh well, appropriate for me I suppose

Mostly it was a weird time and I was hyper sensitive. A movie with similar themes but set in the academic Northeast was We Don't Live Here Anymore with the ever delicious Mark Ruffalo.

did she enjoy man/man porn, or woman/woman porn?

i've seen both, and not straight porn with girl/girl action -- i mean porn for lesbians, by lesbians. it's a much different animal than man-produced porn (whether gay or straight).

i brought a straight friend of mine to Drag Queen Bingo one night. prizes range from dildos to matching tupperware sets to porn. whenever the porn is up for winning, they play it up on the video screen and the three Queens running the show give their own (very hilarious) commentary. this particular program was called "Black Drills and White Holes" ... you can imagine the contents. they played it, added their commentary ("this is every white girl's fantasy! believe me, i know!" and "girls: have more anal sex -- you'll never get pregnant! i've been doing it for years.") as i cringed, next to my straight friend, and felt that keen sense of embarassment one feels when a member of one's "group" is behaving in an embarassing fashion ... like when you see that one bad American tourist in Paris complaining about the toilet paper or something.

my friend, however, was far more savvy. he commented: "it's just like straight porn, only without any vaginas."

lesbian porn, however, seemed to focus much more on the dynamic between the two actors, instead of the dynamic betweent he genitals of the two actors (like in straight/gay man porn). it was all about dominance/submission, but expressed more verbally.

it was strange to me, but an interesting sociological artifact.

mmmmmm ... Mark Ruffalo.

 

[AcrobatMan]

they're some of the best Christians i know, because they let it speak through their music and their actions, and leave it at that.

and that should be more than enough.

 

[joyfulgirl]

mmmmmm ... Mark Ruffalo.

What I meant to say was that that movie has similar themes as Closer (two couples behaving badly) but has a lot more heart.

 

[Irvine511]

i'll check it out.

 

[Muggsy]

what do you think of the "Homo" art ?... the comics of Tom Finland of example...

 

[echo0001]

did she enjoy man/man porn, or woman/woman porn?

Man/man.

I didn't ask if she had her own collection...

Somehow, I find her preference kind of amusing. But sex is funny anyway--at least when you're not doing it. And even in the throes, some times it's hilarious.

 

[LadyRhia]

Do you think that people will ever allow you to live in peace and let you have the right to chose who you love?

As fas as porn,I dont fancy porn that has violence in it or children of course! but its what your personal choice is,isnt it.

 

[Irvine511]

it will happen within my lifetime. there's no question that the anti-marriage equality forces are rooted in bigotry, and the more that gay people come out and demonstrate that there's really nothing all that scary about being gay, that our loves and lives are as valuable as anyone else's, we'll see the gradual destruction of homophobia -- soon, it will be as uncool to be homophobic as it is now to be racist. soon, Christians will find all the passages about love and tolerance in the Bible instead of clinging to Leviticus to justify what is going to be seen as a totally silly prejudice. soon, we will come to recognize the depth and breadth of gay achievement -- gays are giants in the worlds of arts and academics and one day we will be celebrated for these contributions to human knowledge and the understanding of the human condition. and soon, gay people will have legal recognition of their relationships that will be equal to marriage, if not in name then in legal rights. and, soon, we will soon view sexual orientation as really rather boring, in and of itself.

Well said Iam happy to see the tide turning for the better finally.I also think that its going to take more heterosexual people standing up for their gay family and friends.So we can let the rest of the world know that we dont find different lifestyles from our own horrible or "evil"

Sorry I didnt mean that I was condoning child porn! I was talking about other types of porn such as man/woman man/man

I just read my post again and was like wot! LOL.

I read this letter to the editor in the paper today..says so much in so few and sweet words

Me and my husband

May 22, 2005

MAY 20 marked the one-year anniversary of my marriage. Ironically, the vehement opposition to our union by so many has only strengthened the bond that my husband and I share. We are committed to each other and ready to face any adversity or sorrow together. We are a team.

In our hearts, we are a family, and no one and no law and no amendment can change that. We take our marriage vows very seriously. The sincerity to our bond is enhanced by the struggle for our rights. We laugh together, and we cry together. We are not so different from you.

 

[Irvine511]

one day, we'll all look back on the marriage equality movement and everyone will think, "good gosh, just what were those people who wanted to pass an amendment to the *Constitution* so afraid of?"

but then again, the state of Texas needs someone to blame for the shortcomings of their foster system, for having one of the nation's highest divorce rates, what i believe is the nation's highest STD infection rates, and among the highest teenage pregnancy rates.

yes, blame the gays. because if there's someone to hold responsible for a teenage gril getting pregnant, it's a 50 year old couple in San Francisco who like to garden on Sundays and watch foreign films
