I originally posted this with a few other videos from WayOutWestTV, but on second viewing it deserves its very own post. So if you didn’t watch it before, then waste no time. Click play check out the official for Were the World Mine. The Advocate says “HEDWIG had better MOVE OVER.” Now that may be a bit of hype as this doesn’t seem quite as rock-n-roll. but I for one, will not miss this movie. I’m officially intrigued.
If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you?
Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the play’s magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy’s fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this heart-wrenching chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth, but by the end of this moving musical comedy of errors based on director Tom Gustafson’s prolific award-winning short film, Fairies, the bumpy ride comes to a heartfelt conclusion. With vibrant imagery, a first-rate ensemble cast and innovative music rivaling the best of pop/ rock and contemporary Broadway, Were the World Mine attempts to push modern gay cinema and musical film beyond expectation.
I like Logan’s painting. Sad to see it painted over at the end of the video. I wonder if Logan is a fan of the band or if the band is a fan of his? or perhaps he is a special friend of someone in the band? Anyone out there in the blogosphere have a theory? Anyone? Bueller?
A flashback to a bygone era. I’m glad I came of age long after the time where gay men had to subside on monochrome beefcake magazine images of nubile youths in posing straps. They have a certain quality, but I prefer my pornography to be technicolor high-def and XXX.
GO SEE HAMLET 2!!!!!!! I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me. Seriously the funniest movie I’ve seen in ages. Simultaneously smart and dumb so you can bring all your friends and family regardless of intelligence or breeding.
Here is an extra treat that for some reason always comes to mind as I watch the DNC and RNC to witness the latest political sleight of hand from both sides (but the Republican attack on gay marriage as a distraction from failures overseas is the most scurrilous example of the political sidestep I’ve seen in recent years).
I just watched this again while showing it to a friend and was so amused I had to bump it up towards the top again… But it’s worth watching - and sharing!
9pm every Tuesday at The Midnight Sun (18th Street by Castro, San Francisco) they show a new episode of the LOGO series Sordid Lives (highlights and clips to come of course), and in lieu of commercials they show a fairly varied crop of music videos (its not the same stuff week in and week out - see Badlands for that). Anyway here are a few videos they showed this week…
I;ve been wondering this for myself and I KNOW what the words mean. I think it may be a tough sell since I’d be willing to put money on the fact that a large percentage of the American movie-going public will not know what EITHER word means.
Quantum is defined as: The smallest physically realizable unit of something. Solace is: Comfort or consolation in a time of distress. So basically someone is in distress and someone else shows as little support as possible.
