Wow, I had completely forgotten about JEFFREY!! It holds a special place in my heart, too, so shame on me. As a young gayling, I went to visit my much older cousin in Washington DC (also gay) and went with his then boyfriend (now husband) to see JEFFREY at the Uptown Theater. It was my first experience seeing a gay movie in a large city with a predominantly gay audience (holy shit can it REALLY have been twenty years ago????) and it was a liberating, inclusive, head spinning experience (that for me, apparently, eclipsed the actual film we were seeing!)mrz7 said:I would really like to see two of Paul Rudnick's movies released on Blu-Ray......"Jeffrey" (starring Steven Weber and Patrick Stewart) and "In and Out" (Starring Kevin Kline). I'm really surprised they are not on Blu-ray yet?
She has for the last year or so been turning up in the pages of Entertainment Weekly at odd intervals. Has that arrangement been terminated?Will Krupp said:It was a fun movie, too, that I would love to see again (I mean, Patrick Stewart..come on!) and I've always enjoyed Paul Rudnick. I miss Libby Gelman-Waxer!
We saw NORMAL HEART on HBO when it premiered and it was, of course, devastating and wonderful. My blu-ray came yesterday and I just wasn't in the mood to revisit the "whole thing" at that particular time so I'm afraid I just watched the sexy bits last night and ignored the rest of the story. I admit felt kinda guilty though, does that make me a bad person?Matt Hough said:Also love Jeffrey and wept my way through the agonizingly heartfelt It's My Party just like I did the more recent The Normal Heart.
bujaki said:Will,
Not if you wept and were devastated while watching the sexy bits...
Matt Hough said:Coincidentally, one week before I saw the film of Jeffrey I saw a local stage production of it. It's an interesting stage piece - the movie has a somewhat different tone from the stage production, at least the one done here - but no one can beat the terrific cast of the movie especially Michael T. Weiss, Patrick Stewart, and Bryan Batt.
"The Birdcage" was made for straight audiences.mrz7 said:All and all..."Jeffrey" is just a great movie. It wasn't as mainstream as "In and Out" or "The Birdcage".....
Thanks so much for the recommendation, Will. I pushed GBF up to the top of my Netflix queue and we watched/slept through it on Friday night. (Jerry had seen it before and I watched the whole thing Saturday morning.) It's a fun little movie with plenty of positive messages about honesty and being yourself.Will Krupp said:I gotta tell you, I went in to this with NO expectations whatsoever and was completely charmed by this in every way. It's funny, it's sweet, it's silly, it's slick, and it made my heart melt. Directed by Darren (Jawbreakers) Stein, it's filled with familiar faces and they all seem to be having a great time. The three girls are played by Sasha Pieterse ("Pretty Little Liars") Andrea Bowen ("Desperate Housewives") and Xosha Roquemore (hysterical in "The Mindy Project"), there's a funny performance by Jo-Jo (yes, THAT Jo-Jo) as the founder of the school's Gay-Straight Alliance that has no actual gay members, and lo and behold there's Evanna "Luna Lovegood" Lynch playing an absolute bitch with a flawless American accent and not a nargle in sight. The rest of the cast is filled with familiar faces Megan Mullally (perfect), Jonathan Silverman, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Gayheart and, for about 30 seconds, Horatio Sanz.

Another even better movie. The (chronology of the) plot is a mess, but after I watched it the 2nd time, three days later, it made much more sense.
Sex of the Angels meets The Dreamers...
One Two Another
I'm so glad you liked it Jason!Jason_V said:Thanks so much for the recommendation, Will.
mrz7 said:Then when they first kiss (in the gym).....flash scene to 2 teenage straight couples in the movie theater....the girls say "awwweee" and the boys spit up their popcorn. Paul Rudnick is a comedic genius in his writing!!!Lots of great stars in the movie as well....Sigourney Weaver, Olympia Dukakis, Patrick Stewart and Nathan Lane (who plays a priest in the most hilarious and controversial part of the movie.....Classic!!!) Every time I watch this movie (and I probably have watch it at least once or twice a year).....I pick some kind of joke or innuendo I missed before....the lines and comedic timing are just that quick and funny!!!!
