Hahahahahaha!!! And don't forget there's the silent ballet in the biggest underground Cottage in London.

Isn't it surely black comedy? A lot of Frear's pictures are both comedic and bleak. Even the Grifters (his very best IMO) has some incredibly funny stuff, alternating with real grimness. Thank god Laundrette is getting the Blu treatment, the run of HV so far has been abysmal. Also for fans...

Agreed Tom, I am not at all happy with the way producer, director and writer have drained the blood out of major areas of Turing's character. To repeat one doesn't need line by line 'true life" verification for everything but the point was Turing had a very active (and quite "busy") sex life...

Has anyone here put up Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant for recommendation? The recent Criterion Blu is a thing of beauty, and in glorious Academy Ratio. It hardly needs me to mention Fassbinder's all girl original play has been performed with all male casts here and there over the years. In...

Throw me in and throw away the key!

Of course we all remember Daniel Craig's very amusing reply to evil psycho killer Javier Bardem about to ravish him in SkyFall, when told "So this will be your first time", Craig says, "what makes you think it's my first?" Bravo and round of applause!

Bobby in Company is far more interesting as a "straight" hetero man who simply won't can't get caught up into a relationship. But he's also the channel, the conduit for all the other characters'/couples frustrations, Hence the constant reprises of "Bobby, bobby"...This is one of the miracles of...

I think he is just doodling with these pieces, really. He needs more meat to get his teeth into.I did love him in Gus' Milk which I think is terribly underrated. He had great chemistry with Sean Penn (Who was genuinely exciting playing Milk with all his frankly bothersome fussiness and sense of...

Jason the movie certainly has its defenders, including some notable gay critics. It certainly plays a part in Friedkin's very interesting filmography of "possession" like the characters in Exorcist, and other films of his. So it's not to be sneezed at. If there is any one single reason for the...

Yes, it's just another fluffy James Franco vanity project to me. The idea is based on an urban myth fallacy (no pun intended) that the leather bar clientele who joined the production for the bar scenes as extras were actually getting down and dirty for the filming and that Friedkin had made...

Cruising is a total mess, ultimately because:Friedkin completely lost his nerve with the screenplay which is actually highly homophobic,in a way the movie is not or at least isn't to begin with; the book by the cop is intensely and unpleasantly anti faggot and I feel the screenplay never avoids...

Shirley Clarke is a very particular kind of filmmaker and documentarist. And Jason is a very particular kind of film. Almost the entire length is Jason as a talking head facing the camera, sober, stoned, drunk, "Performing" himself to the extent the movie completely relieves itself of any kind...
