Bwah!

Har. The pause before each utterance of establishment makes me think the place in question is a bordello or something. Which, it looks like, might have made for a more lively movie.

Where are you going with that?

Just the repeated assertion in the press for Brokeback Mountain that it's unprecedented in its raw depiction of Gay Love. Though I suppose their qualifier is "in a major movie."

Kalshane - did you notice who played Chun Li? Yup, Jackie himself. That scene by itself could've made that drinking game interesting.

It's kind of hard to miss. I was of the impression that half the point of the scene was to showcase the absurdity of Jackie in a Chun Li outfit.

Steven Frears? "The Committments", right? Lifetime pass. LOVE that movie. Liked Deadwood quite a bit for not being into Westerns, but I found myself missing a. colors and b. sentences without "cocksucker" but they both seemed like the right choice...don't get me wrong. And I have liked David Milch since "Blue" or probably Hill Street(although not quite in a "trust in Joss" way...that's just for Mr. Sweden and David Simon and even he got talked into that Falsone thing, so...)

The Commitments is by Alan Parker, I think. He hasn't made anything really notable since, more's the pity. I do love Angel Heart though, one of his earlier films, with Robert DeNiro hamming it up as Satan.

Stephen Frears did the Malkovich/Close version of Dangerous Liaisons, and more recently, High Fidelity and Dirty Pretty Things. I like his work a lot.

Though I suppose their qualifier is "in a major movie."

And American. I think that's big too.

There are a lot of gay movies out there -- it's profile that's the thing.

Bedrooms and Hallways is my new favorite big gay movie. (British, of course)

It features Kevin McKidd and James Purefoy. Plus nearly every supporting actor from Four Weddings and a Funeral. Recent Rome love inspired the Netflixing. Wooo-hooo! The fella's roles are quite...quite...different in B & H. Hugo Weaving is hysterical as a real estate agent who uses his clients' homes for...uh, you know. I just loved it.

Also? McLibel, the doc about two activists who spent 15 years battling the McAntichrist for the right to criticize its Mcvilliany may not be a stellar film (not even close to Murderball, Supersize Me, Mr. Death, etc. in terms of craft)...the soundtrack alone detracts from the message...but it is well worth seeing. And too, I gave up a 25 year vegetarianism about a year ago. McLibel put me right back on the wagon. Sheesh.

I wish I could remember why Bedrooms and Hallways left me cold.

Whiny protagonist dumping James Purefoy in favor of his ex-wife did it for me.
