I haven't read the book, but I just bought it and will read it soon.
This has been the season of watching a film or series and then feeling the desire to read the book:
I just finished the collector's edition version of the book Red, White, & Royal Blue. It is better than the show due to its...
To make matters worse, the new one with Luke MacFarlane was even worse. Catch me if you Claus had him playing Santa, as in the real Santa, who got snagged as an intruder and then suffered from mistaken identity all night. Yeesh.
But this is not why I am posting now. Three things:
1) I just...
My mom and I are cherry picking the best of the best Hallmark movies right now and watching them in between episodes of Fellow Travelers, which is incredible; After each episode, I need something HAPPY to watch.
Complexly unrelated, Kino Lober is releasing a bonus-features loaded Blu-ray in...
I ordered it directly from Verve Pictures as well. They note it is not region/code locked. I will find out soon enough.
Thanks for the post. This is a film I really want a director's commentary track for.
Upcoming LGBT-inclusive Cheesy goodness (hopefully) on Hallmark
Premiers December 9th
Catherine Bell, Erin Cahill, James Denton, Jonathan Bennett, John Brotherton and Vicent Rodriguez lll
Nicholas Galitzine appears to be having a moment appearing in several LGBTQIA+ films or series.
The HANDSOME DEVIL actor appeared in my current go-to comfort film Red, White and Royal Blue, which now seems to have a Asian-released Blu-ray that is now on several sites.
Alas, with no...
The character development for our fellas was pretty thin. I found myself grasping to care about their arc. I appreciate that Hallmark is trying to switch it up a bit in terms of format, while still heavily borrowing from a movie (The Holiday).
I will keep watching because last December's The...
Mine, too. I have high hopes for Fellow Travelers with Matt Bomber and Jonathan Bailey, which we'll get to see in October, but after watching Paul Mescal in Normal People, his performance left me completely wiped out and experiencing an emotional catharsis one feels after having a good cry in...
There is also the factor that the cast and crew of Heartstopper's production schedule is not impacted by the writers/SAG-AFTRA strike, nor would I assume Young Royals is either.
Talking about ready to go shows, Fellow Travels is scheduled to be released just before Halloween.
Showtime has set...
Thanks for calling this out, Eric!
My mom and I watched it (Rock Hudson and Cary Grant are her favorite movie stars.), and we both thoroughly loved this documentary. It was a great mix of dish (I did not know folx would talk about his endowment.), delight, and devastation. The Nancy Regan part...
For Heartstopper and context, it is important to know creator/writer/executive producer Alice Osemen's intended audience: children and young teens. That the rest of us also enjoy it is a bonus, but we're not the target audience.
I am trying to imagine what 8-year old me, who had just heard from...
I loved it, too.
And the BEST SIGN that my mother really enjoyed is that she mentioned that she had fallen asleep during parts of it, so she wants to see it again, AND then she tried to take my copy of the book to her bedroom. LOL.
I was surprised by how much connection and intensity I felt...
I doubt you're recollections of what it was like to be 15 and queer are off. I was 15 back in 1983. Even when I was really struggling (Not to get too personal, but I tried to commit suicide a few times when I was 14 because of homophobia.), I was never as fragile as Charlie. I was more depressed...
Before Red, White, and Royal Blue (hopefully) grabs our collective attention, I will follow up on [Heartstopper] Charlie's fragility.
I feel that, too. It was nice this season that .
Now that we've seen more of Nick's relationships with other male figures, both , it is no wonder he was pals...
I will say I love the videos of the kids together at London Pride. I have seen hand-holding and kisses on cheeks between several of the cast members. When Kit and Joe talk about "Bast" (as both Kit and Joe refer to Sebastian Croft in video interviews), they are making it quite clear Bast is as...
Yes, Tao, as everyone suspected, is super cute and perfect match for the gorgeous Elle now that he took care of that hideous haircut. Though there is a lot of video of Kit Conner and William Gao talking about how they are now each others' husbands, IRL.
It could be that Volume four starts...
Thanks! I will wait until it is available streaming, then. I have liked his other films, even ones other folx don't like, but I have higher expectations for films I see in theaters. I guess I just opened a slot to see Barbie this weekend! ^_^
There are some (hopefully) wonderful films and shows happening this week and later this year.
I am still absorbing Heartstopper Season 2. but if you loved season 1, you're likely to love season 2.
It starts the next day after Nick . I am not alone in thinking it felt like the next term or fall...
