"James Franco's Sal chronicles the final hours of the life of actor Sal Mineo, one-time teen idol and star of the blockbuster films Rebel Without a Cause and Exodus." Franco is too old to play Sal, so a muscular young actor named Val Lauren did that. I am not so sure that Mineo was so muscular, nor that he received testosterone shots way back then. (1976) His fame was on the decline and he was trying to push a script that didn't seem to be going anywhere. Frankly, it could have been the script for this movie, which was brutally painful to watch. Boring scenes, bad camera angles, and washed out lighting don't help what was a rather tedious final day for Mineo, whom I adored on the screen and fantasized him getting fucked by James Dean. My date and I walked out before Sal dies, as the movie had Dead On Arrival scrawled across it. It has taken it three years to make the screen, and even that for a free showing with "talk-back" with actor Val Lauren. My date and I had something hotter on our minds, so we left early, along with many others, who were not headed for the scene we had in mind.

Lurker, it's all window dressing.and I love dressing, especially at Thanksgiving. Even the big department stores will soon have pretty displays in their windows.

And here I was trying to pick my favorite coroner!

Same story, but EXPAT had a different take with the headline. But, he was first!

He does that and I am pleased to know he is on the ball. I benefit, too, when he gets us the news first.

I avoid the home page whenever possible since I first have to see millions of sex video ads before I get there. I guess it pays for the home page.

I should have titled this Sexy Subway Sleeper to get more views. For some reason, it's all over the internet, just not popular here!

The movie short Topdawg has released a trailer, but the short is not expected to be released until some film festivals see it. Two hot guys meet- one Asian and one Caucasian. The white guy assumes the Asian is a bottom. Is this worth seeing? Some of the You Tube comments indicate no, but at least the one minute trailer is worth it, in my opinion: http://youtu.be/QrqQ0t_S6UM (I forgot how to get the You Tube show properly posted, so hopefully EXPAT or one of the other smarter guys can do it.)

Today there is a pic of Justin sleeping in the news. It was apparently taken by a prostitute that he had hired. From NY Daily News: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/bieber-allegedly-filmed-sleeping-brazil-article-1.1509327

It's all over the news that a Jewish man let a black man sleep on his shoulder for 30 minutes on the subway. Some think it is being hyped too much as a sign that all is right with the world, others wonder what being Jewish has to do with it. I didn't much care. For me, it brought back a fond memory from almost 40 years ago. Back then, New York had an East Side Bus Terminal, so you could take a bus from La Guardia to Manhattan's east side. Next to me was a cute young flight attendant, and, sure enough, he soon fell asleep on my shoulder. We didn't make the news, but we did talk as he woke up nearing the terminal. He ended up in my hotel room, which apparently was the goal of the "nap."

The Bangkok city guide is very well done, Oz. You hit all the right topics, although I will note that in 13 trips there, no one has ever offered me drugs, nor have I ever been mugged. I did get pick-pocketed by some little kids at the Weekend Market, due to my own stupidity in keeping my wallet in a lower pocket- right where they could get it. Anyway, sorry if I rushed the report, but it sure looked like it was ready for the presses.

Respectfully, of course, I suggest that the boys call tomcal to see if he will be at the sauna, then tons of boys will show up, all with that hopeful tomcal look in their eyes...

There's not a lot of job security with being mayor of Seattle They have turned out three incumbent mayors in a row, but this time they did it in style by electing their first openly gay mayor, Democratic State Senator Ed Murray. Find out more about Murray and the gay and lesbian candidates who ran in elections yesterday. Did Houston elect a lesbian mayor for a third term?

Has anyone noticed that at least one major gay destination is not in the Boytoy City Guides? What's strange about that is that the author of the City Guides frequents that destination for long periods, yet has left it out of the guides. Does he perhaps think he can keep the city to himself? Nah, he shares oodles of information in the forums. What I think is that he has so much info that he cannot decide on where to start! Have you guessed the missing city yet? Here's a hint:

Zipperzone, it says that he is trying to create publicity that would give the hint of heterosexuality with no real evidence. Gay, gay, gay! On the other hand, I thought you got busted for going into a brothel, not for leaving it.

Occasionally, I forget that Totally Oz is a lawyer. I won't forget today! I hope that no one gets banned and that we all treat each other with respect, even when we disagree.

Yes, in my question, it is. The mayor, I think, claims only the one time use while in office. Although I doubt that, I think his alcohol problems alone interfere with his ability to do his job. I see 12 steps in his future.

It will eventually be forced on the hold-out states by a federal court.

Say useless, how are the conversational Spanish lessons coming along? Muy bien, yo espero. I took Conversational Spanish 4 times, repeating the entry level class each time. I can get by in Spanish, but it's rather laughable. Once upon a time, while walking with a new friend in Acapulco, he told me that my Spanish was awful. But, I replied, it was good enough to get you to my hotel room! We both laughed, and he agreed that I was right. I realize that you may not have started yet, so I posted just to see, and to encourage you to follow through.

Hasn't tomcal's return been a real boost to this forum? I am so glad that he is back to posting here.

Does everyone accept this gal's statement that testing for sexual disease and HIV is rare in gay porn? Her whole premise seems to be that such testing will decline if condoms are mandatory because people will think that they are playing safely. I don't agree, since it's a well-known fact that condoms are not complete protection and most performers know- or should know- that fact.

We have as a society become more tolerant of politicians past mistakes. Obama, for example, admitted to using cocaine. Once upon a time, divorce would be a dis-qualifier. But I agree that this mayor is so laden with problems, he should be using all of his faculties to do his job. There have been plenty of politicians with cocaine problems, but when caught they usually resign and go into rehab so that they can run again as "reformed."

I would rather you had won it.

He may be an all-round sleaze ball, but who cares if in the past he smoked some crack? http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Toronto-mayor-admits-crack-use-plans-to-keep-job-4956867.php

Just me1369, I was hoping, and pretty certain, that you thought that way. I can't see how Mitch got elected to anything.
