The Last Picture Show has been streaming on Showtime. I did a little research and found the film was released 50 years ago. So perhaps that is why it's streaming now, to remember the 50 year anniversary.
I learned it is based on a novel of the same name by Larry McMurtry, who we may know from Brokeback Mountain fame.
I was awestruck. For cinephiles I assume The Last Picture Show is considered a masterpiece, especially the cinematography and direction.
The term bromance probably didn't exist back then, in 1951 rural Texas. To me the film embodies what a bromance might have been between two straight guys in those times, in the most subtle ways, ways that are lost on modern Hollywood. The story involves more than just those two of course. The cast was amazing.
Truly a one-of-a-kind film.

Died: December 28, 2021Born: December 2, 1939I'm hearing so many accolades about Reid I was not aware of, and that he was also a street fighter and quite brusque at times.He was Mormon.He is credited with Obama running for President and ensuring the ACA passed.He was a strong LGBTQ ally.Years after calling President Bush a loser, he admitted regretting saying that, that Bush was a patriot, that Reid missed him, how he was the Babe Ruth of presidents compared to Trump, who wouldn't even make the team.R.I.P.

An interesting comment Buttigieg made about the film "why wasn't there more policy?"
The Tin Man comment came from his own campaign people. Is that kind of a brutal thing to say, the Tin Man having no heart?

I am scheduled for my Moderna booster today.
I still wear a mask at work and in public.
Will the new variants coupled with holiday events cause infections to rise? It's worrisome.

40,000 books that the "publisher" claims have been written about the assasination amounts to approximately 700 per year.
Whole lotta books.

Well you weren't meant to TELL him we'd gossip as COME ON a room full of gay men I mean who could possibly even consider that we wouldn't ! lol But Shushh, say nothing and he might tell us yet...... 🙂
OK, back to JFK........see all the mafia had to do was tell a gay man who the culprit was and the whole world would know the full story AND MORE by now ! 🙂
We know how gay men can't resist spoiling, whether a movie ending or assassination plot.

Outside the courthouse here in LA was quite a scene.
These folks must really take it to heart, Britney's plight.
The ones interviewed on the news really seemed a bit off the wall though, on par with QAnon adherents.

The film has been reposted. Check it out while you can.

Sorry, the video has been protected.
Here is a trailer if curious.

Harold and Kumar movies have been a secret vice of mine. Kal Penn and John Cho were a perfect duo. (I luv John Cho. 💖)
I was delighted to read that Kal Penn has come out.

Operation Hyacinth , a crime thriller on Netflix.
There are plot twists and more.A very good movie out of Poland.
Don't watch the trailers. They all stink IMO, and also spoil too much.
It is not a "gay movie" per se, but there is gay subject matter.

I remember when the allegation made the news, and having a sense it could easily be BS.

Sorry everyone.
Looks like that was just a rumor. Ryan Guzman may not be cast afterall. 😒

An update, Lin Manuel Miranda is producing a movie based on the prequel. Awesome.
If you've read it, you remember Dr Charles.
Ryan Guzman will play Dr. Charles 💗💗

I knew for sure before 18 that I liked guys. It frightened me a lot. So, at 18, I would tell myself something along the lines of It Gets Better.
I came out to my family in my mid 20s and joined a gay group at work.
Then I volunteered to take part in a newspaper interview that sampled several companies in the city, what it is like to be gay in corporate America.
It was one of those things where I look back and go "what was I thinking?" 🤣
But before that, I had a really hard time dealing with internalized homophobia and the fear of admitting I was gay.
It really affected me. So i would try to tell myself to that yes, it does get better, and to try changing my outlook on things.

In two weeks,
the sequel to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe will release.
I ordered my copy from my local independent bookstore.
I am especially excited because the audiobook will once again be read by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
He did a terrific job (of course) reading the first book, a truly poignant, enlightening tale about two Mexican American boys in El Paso.
Some call it a love story for young adults, but it is so much more.
