Sexy, dark, erotic, sinister, psycho thriller.
Knowing that this was inspired by true events and what really happened, I know why the motion picture may seem as one giant plot hole to some viewers. I understand most people yearn a definitive retort and this production doesn't exactly build it clear for the viewer. Done intentionally by Friedkin to reflect the true story's mystery, which I reflect is brilliant. That said, I long for the cast was hotter and I still can't trust Al Pacino did this film. I love it. It's such an incredible documented piece of Homosexual life before AIDS hit. Something we will never see or encounter ever again.

The Red Envelope brings Thai popstars Billkin and PP Krit together for deeply silly queer ghost like story
If 2005 rom-com Just Like Heaven hinged on Mark Ruffalo helping the ghost of Reese Witherspoon jolt her body to life and find her one true love, Thai comedy The Red Envelope is about a guy helping a ghost he has been betrothed to achieve his dream of getting married and reincarnated. It is as culturally specific as it gets.

The ghost is the spirit of gay guy Titi, whose wishes to get married in experience were thwarted by a prejudiced father. On his last day on Soil, Titi had a struggle with his father and died in a hit-and-run car accident while in an anguished state.
In a posthumous scheme hatched by Titi's amah (Piyamas Monyakul) — perhaps the most progressive grandma to ever live — whoever stumbles upon a red envelope with Titi's lock of hair and cut fingernai
All I contain added to Wood's reading is a fuller account of how Friedkin handles the classical genre a staple of B westerns and gangster films where a disguised or discredited lawman goes undercover in a society of outlaws. (The first bar we glimpse in the film is called Badlands.) Deliberate incoherences undermine the genre even as the film apparently plays by the rules, only to conclude with an enigma like Kubrick's obelisk: The Killer returning to the Cockpit. Obliged to assume back or even to resee the film looking for an answer, the spectator receives a second genre-coded translation that delivers a subversive message about the source of all the hostility in the production, which is the patriarchal structure of society. This thought was reinforced when Friedkin decided during production not to build the establish for the scene where Stuart talks to Jack, who was supposed to have a lavish office in an abandoned building. Instead, their park-bench conversation takes place on the Common in front of Grants Tomb.
Cruising never really becomes a horror film, any more than The French Connection becomes an anti-cop film, even after that ambiguous off-screen gunshot at the en
GunnShots: Celebrating Great Gay Mysteries
Culture critic Jillian Steinhauer has an online article “127 Reasons Why We’re Fascinated by Lists” (The Awl, 7 Feb. 2012). She notes that list-making is “an act of curation,” and she quotes Andrew Sarris that, “with a 10-best list, a critic puts his or her tastes on the line.” But nowhere among her 127 reasons does she argue that celebration can be a motive. Yet isn’t that what was going on at the end of the last century when we got lists of the 100 best of everything imaginable? A personal celebration led to this column. The day before (appropriately enough) Thanksgiving, my copies of the new and expanded edition of my manual The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film: A History and Annotated Bibliography (Scarecrow Press, 2013) arrived.
The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film
As I leafed through the pages, some kind of ritual seemed called for. I started mentally making lists. My ten-best male lover film mysteries will manifest in a forthcoming column. Here I look at the print portion of the book (which, of course, is itself one giant list with 1820 numbered entries). These are my candidates for the ten best gay mystery series and the ten bes
Here’s what I wrote about Another Gay Movie in August of 2006:
‘Another Lgbtq+ Movie, a queer cross between American Pie and a male Little Darlings, is a fizzy, brainless waste of time that’s the cinematic equivalent of one of those doomed to drink frozen summer concoctions they’re always pushing at the bars this time of year. You don’t really want to drink the Strawberry Twisty Frizz Whirly Freeez Tassle Von Frozen Frappe with 26 different kinds of fruity vodka but what the hell? You’re out with your gal pals, looking to get laid or at the very least have a nice time. Why not lay down the $12.50 for the two ounce shot cause you wanna receive liquored up quick and have some fun already?
‘That’s the kind of picture Another Gay Movie is. The plot revolves around a quartet of four ‘loser’ high school friends determined to lose their anal virginity before summer ends and their large dyke friend’s latest orgy/party. These four take to their assignment like ducks to water and before you can say ‘K-Y’ they’ve all reached their goal. Crude and about as funny as the straight gross out sex obsessed teen com
