Speaking of Broadway, I found several shows complete on YouTube, some of them gay-friendly, others just entertaining. The shows included If/Then with Idina Menzel, Xanadu (original cast, it's a hoot), Hedwig and the Angry Inch with John Cameron Mitchell on stage off Broadway, Hedwig with Neil...

My work here is done. :)

Absolutely. Thanks for that. You know one of the reasons that Sondheim's COMPANY is gay friendly is because I've seen interpretations that Bobby is gay.

Speaking of controversies of years gone by, what does everyone think of Paul Verhoven's Basic Instinct? Some pro-lesbian and bi groups were so offended that they gave away the ending in their protests. The only thing that offended me was that writer Joe Eszterhas made $3 million from the...

I don't know which to be more jealous of...meeting Ivory or Capra. I saw Ismail Merchant and composer Richard Robbins at a film fest screening of The Ballad of the Sad Cafe. But did not think to get something autographed.

Thanks, Will, I really liked this movie.

I saw Passion with the original cast. Two weeks later, it closed. Fortunately, they filmed it. The DVD is OOP, but still available used at Amazon.

Sunday in the Park with George was the first Sondheim I saw on PBS in 1986. Then I bought a 3CD set called A Collector's Sondheim which was more or less a career retrospective. Then I got the cast recording of Sweeney Todd, then Into the Woods, then Merrily We Roll Along on CD. My collection has...

One of the productions of Company is a concert starring Neil Patrick Harris and won a Tony for the role of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (another gay friendly show)

Slight left-field turn. Into the Woods, which beat Phantom of the Opera for best book and score Tonys, has just been announced for blu-ray with the original Broadway cast. Composer Stephen Sondheim is gay and a personal hero of mine. There are two productions of Sondheim's Company available...

Quick follow up to Prick Up Your Ears...there is an actual biography with that title. The book The Orton Diaries is background. The diary is kinda hot...it goes on my gay adult shelf. The bio and movie is bleak.

This brings back memories of my work trip to DC in 1988. Never made it to the Uptown, but did frequent Dupont Circle. There was a book and video store there called Lambda Rising where I picked up such gems as The Orton Diaries book (basis for Prick Up Your Ears, another gay gem albeit...

In memory of Robin Williams, I watched The Birdcage. It's gay-friendly, but a farce.In and Out is a farce, too, but I'd like to see it on blu. It was one of the "safe" movies that I could watch with my parents.

I can't even get JK Rowling's latest book on Kindle because of this dispute. And that ticks me off.

It's probably tied up in the Amazon/Warner dispute and not in Amazon yet.

I scanned that list of 50 movies, and did not think much of it. Someone mentioned stereotype, and Auntie Mame was at the top of the list. Yep.

Stephen Spinella and Joe Mantello are in Normal Heart. They were both in Angels in America 20 years ago.

The Normal Heart is amazing...

Not surprising since EW and HBO are both Time/Warner companies.

DVR confirmed it, The Normal Heart debuts May 25th. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Jim Parsons in something other than Big Bang Theory. I wish they had filmed his performance in Broadway's Harvey.

Maybe it was the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame Concert that was 5/31. Anyway, I need to program the DVR for The Normal Heart. I suspect this will be a better translation to screen than was Angels In America, which was pretty good but not nearly as good as the Broadway production, which I lucked...

I remember watching the British version of Queer as Folk on DVD on the old multi-region APEX player. Never got into the American version, tried it when it aired on Showtime, wasn't my thing. I may have posted about this before, if so, forgive me. I'm getting forgetful in long threads. There...

I finished Auntie Mame...it's definitely gay-friendly, with Mame going to Fire Island and her asking Patrick when he was opposed to marriage if he liked boys.Now we need the movie on blu.

Started reading the book of Auntie Mame on Jose's recommendation. I'm enjoying it a lot.

What does everyone think of Auntie Mame? Many years ago, an older gay friend showed me the VHS and I wasn't overly impressed, although my opinion improved when I saw the widescreen laserdisc. Maybe I was too young. Maybe I did not appreciate her manipulative ways. Maybe I liked the musical...

Thanks for the heads up on Bridegroom. I just remotely programmed my DVR to record it. It's on twice tomorrow--9:00pm central and midnight.

If I'm not mistaken, My Beautiful Laundrette opened theatrically the same day as A Room With A View.

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover is the one film with a scene in it that made people walk out in the theater, and almost made me retch.

I looked at IMDb, Google, and Amazon and nothing came up except the book at Amazon. Found a clip in color, though: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x85ms_song-of-the-loon-clip_na#.UesbFRa0Gec

Actually, the book Maurice alludes to Clive thinking of Maurice back in college, just as the movie shows.
