Re: Gay and Streaming

Another suggestion for Gay and Streaming attention is Spoiler Alert (2022) with Jim Parsons, Ben Aldridge and Sally Field, which I believe underperformed on its theatrical release but is well worth catching up with. It's based on a 2017 memoir Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies by Michael Ausiello and the...

Re: Gay and Streaming

I guess in this context, yes, it does surprise me. Early on, when I joined the SSO Board, I wondered why there was no gay-related section (as there is on so many other film sites), but I didn't mention it, because rightly or wrongly, it was my impression that such a section would be unwelcome here,...

Re: Gay and Streaming

Even though the sex scenes in Fellow Travelers can properly be called rutting, there's a lot being revealed about the unequal dynamic between the two men, as kingrat has stated. So often sex can seem like a "time out" for the characters, whereas here it's treated more as an extension of a ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

I believe it would be more correct to say that Marilyn Monroe liked famous and powerful men.At one time she was married to the most famous American baseball player (Joe DiMaggio) while having affairs with the most famous Broadway director and already an Oscar-winning film director (Elia Kazan) and ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

I could have sworn I saw an actual non-photoshopped pix of the two of them. There does seem to be consensus the two really did meet. Marilyn expressed in print her desire to meet and marry "an intellectual man". This, however, did not apply to Joe DiMaggio but soon afterward hooked up wit...

Re: TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES NEWS

https://twitter.com/tcm/status/1725179460381487197?s=20 For anyone interested, Alicia Malone co-hosts (with Tom Myers) a podcast discussing episodes of The Gilded Age series on HBO Max. I enjoy the series and I'm enjoying their commentary. They have good chemistry; Tom is knowledgeable about the er...

Re: DVD Netflix Shutting Down

https://dvd.netflix.com/ That's really nice. I've never thought about it but, if pressed, I probably would have said machines did all that kind of work. Seeing all those nice people is making me all warm and fuzzy and now I'm wishing I'd been thoughtful enough to include something personal in those...

Re: I Just Watched...

We have watched the first three episodes of UNCOUPLED and have enjoyed them. Since Darren Star is co-author and the show is set in New York, this is obviously intended to be a gay SEX AND THE CITY. Neil Patrick Harris discovers via text that his partner of 17 years (Tuc Watkins) has left him. Marci...

Re: Explanation of New Shift in Streaming

We still purchase CD's and DVD's although we also "subscribe" to "free" streaming services. Over the past few years have noticed that the free streaming services have increased the number of commercial breaks and the length of the commercials. If want to record a movie or progra...

Re: I Just Watched...

...The divine Divine! Wish they had included PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE. I think they've broadcast both, I know I saw MULTIPLE MANIACS at TCM. They have? Wow, I give the station credit! Never saw MULTIPLE MANIACS but would love to. Is that the one where Divine is violated by an oversized cru...

Re: ANY WEDNESDAY It's too bad Dennis wasn't allowed to recreate her role in the film. She had the kind of ditzy charm to pull off this type of role. Fonda seems too intelligent to really be believable playing this airhead type of role. (though she tries hard) Exactly!! Lorna said: It wasn't until ...
