I streamed Consequences on Amazon Prime.  Slovenia.
Nice looking guys.  The lead is really good.
A tough story.   
Reviews were mixed.  I'd give it a B minus.
 

YES, indeed and thought it to be one hell of a dynamic and profound film.  ...truly, truly loved and admired the female protagonist.

I've been watching reruns of Perry Mason on MeTV.  I also watched the complete series once before in the 80's.
The formula never gets tired for me and I enjoy noticing things that have changed since the 50's/60's like everybody smoking.  Takes me back to my very early childhood.

Big Mouth in Netflix. It is not a gay themed series, although it is very gay friendly. The series follow the misadventures of a group of boys and girls going through puberty and their sexual awakenings, with a very sex affirmative mindset. Three seasons, all very good.

We really enjoyed the first season of Upload on Amazon Prime. It is a cross between existential horror and dark comedy in a slightly future world.
Robbie Amell is very easy on the eyes too.

 
 

I really liked Michelle Obama's Becoming Movie on Netflix. Beautiful to watch!

Hahaha, you can obviously see past subtlety ... the things you can do with a vintage Calvados. I wonder if it was apple or pear, extending the previous orchard peach motif. It reminds me of the Brazilian stud this past March who must douche with Gatorade. He tasted like an Oklahoma State Fair all-day pinwheel lollipop. 

Imagine family gatherings of siblings, aunts, uncles and so on, gathered around sharing memories, how those conversations drift.  That's part of the nature of conversation.
That said, the OP might give some thought to their goal for the thread and be mindful how well their first post might frame the intent of the discussion.
If folks decide to go off on a tangent, others might politely reign in the dialogue back on track.  
Or wave a white flag and move on.

Yet one can find people that disagree the characters in Giovanni's Room made love, or people that disagree Lysis and Alexias ever made love in Last of the Wine.
Was a difficult task getting the point across back in the 50s and 60s, to get that published.
Call it what you will.  Clever, subtle, deft, and so on.

I think he as most great writers was most subtle.
At the same time as flaming across the sky as a comet. Like Hemingway, Faulkner, the 19th-century greats, on and on. All the way back to Gawain & Chaucer & before.
For many reasons, reader-influencing etc etc etc

The sequel to CMBYN was published 8 months ago but I just read it now. Find Me. It is not in 1st person Elio narration. The 15-year and 20-year epilogues were woven in reasonably well but what seemed a little strange is that Aciman departed from the initial base time frames, ie, summer of love ‘83 (consistent with track song Lady Lady Lady in the film). 
Unless this was unintentional or missed by editors the only reasons I could think of were to somewhat reference modern mobile phone etiquette (as in one passage) or to bypass the height of the AIDS epidemic. The initial Italian summer was referenced as having been a few decades back from the latest historical time point in the new novel but would essentially have been in the 21st century as opposed to the New Wave era. 
My sense is that the book cannot be easily coaxed into a screenplay that would have sufficient coherence with its predecessor or the ages of the film actors playing the characters featured in both books. 

Saw Daddy's main post today was about vote.org which is misguided and unfortunate.  They are a private organization that sells your info.  
https://vote.gov/
Is the correct site.  
Now IS the time to register, or to request absentee voting!
Also, please return your absentee voting ballots SOONER than later!  There's going to be an avalanche of ballots which many states won't be prepared for, and the longer the outcome is in doubt the more chance Cheeto Mussolini will have to discredit the election.  
 

Threads evolve over time.  I doubt many people  set out to hijack a thread.
 
More important, people who just join a forum have the exact same statue as those who have posted for decades. 

An early 2019 article in GQ also looked back at Baldwin for perspective.  Baldwin saw the handwriting on the wall and moved to France, as did the main character in Giovanni's Room, Baldwin's novel of an American's despair.
I love the article's images of Baldwin's style.

 
 

The BBC airs a comedy show where nothing is off limits.
This one made me laugh out loud.
I hope you all out there are not offended. It turns popular prejudices inside out.

Geez Louise. Something awful must have happened to you. I could write a lot more but I don't have the time. Your attitude is very defeatist, very cynical. 
I was the first executive in my stodgy, conservative luxe corporation to recruit Black, Latino, and Asian artists. I made it my mission to teach my stubborn White elders (several of them racists) the wisdom and foresight of diversity. I taught my recruits how to strive and thrive in creative business. I fully gave back what was given to me. Most of my recruits went on to live the American Dream.
I know countless business people in our Capitalist system who believe in paying it forward and leaving no man behind. I stand among them, proudly.

Somehow Mencken''s quote makes today seem less frightening, that we've been through this before,  looking back at Harding & Coolidge.

Again, your de-facto party set a real low bar there with the second Reagan term.  
 

No documentation as usual, just hysterical blatter from mysterious sources on the fringes.

IMHO, any President who is given paper for a briefing, got it. It was in the reports and he received it.  Did he have someone sit and dumb it down for him?  Most likely not. That is on him and the nuts that elected him.

Your posts are getting a bit bazaar. Try to perhaps mix in more main stream media, like CNN.

Personally, I'm a big fan of boycotts and Chik-fil-A gave me my hardest test yet.  I kept hearing how great it was but also how many bad causes they sent their money to.  I sure didn't want them forwarding any of my money.
As you might expect, it was nearly impossible to find one in the liberal Bay Area so it was only when I visited family back East that the conflict became real.  A few years ago, I got as close as their parking lot but was saved by the fact that it was Sunday and they were closed.  I toyed with the idea of poking around in the dumpster for a free sample but apparently I was not the only one with this idea.


Fast forward to last year when I learned that, not only were they donating to pro-gay causes, they had also just opened up twenty miles away across from my Costco.  A week later, I found myself in a long line waiting for my Deluxe Combo, large fries and a chocolate Hand-Spun shake, whatever the hell that means.  
Now, at long last, I can report that it was anything but worth the wait.  Not to me anyway.  The chicken was OK, but no better than KFC.  The "biscuit" was only a little fluffier than cardboard and a bit less flavorful.  The french fries were likewise bland, and a pickle no more goes with chicken than a feather boa goes with board shorts.
It was the milkshake that was most disappointing and, had I bothered reading the ingredients first, I'd never have ordered it.
Whole milk and nonfat dry milk, sugar, cream, water, contains less than 1% of: whey, mono and diglycerides, corn starch, guar gum, carrageenan, calcium sulfate, cellulose gum, brown sugar, natural and artificial flavor, natural flavor, salt, caramel color, beta-carotene (color), annatto (color), chocolate syrup (cane sugar, corn syrup, water, cocoa, natural vanilla flavor)
At the very least, I'd have asked them to serve the guar gum, carageenan, calcium sulfate, cellulose gum, mono and diglycerides and artificial flavor on the side so that I could add them to taste.
Don't get me wrong.  I've had worse fast food.  The spicy mutton curry at Little Taste of Calcutta, for example, kept me toilet-bound for three days but the price was right and my table came with its own fly swatter.
So, for me anyway, the boycott merely delayed the inevitable and Chik-fil-A is officially off my list for culinary, if no longer political, reasons.  They could hire RuPaul as a car hop and I still wouldn't go back.
