Trick Here we have another genre-busting gay movie that proves not all queer cinema has to be about gay bashing, AIDS or ridiculous camp drag stuff. Really, any genre of film can be turned into a gay movie if writers and directors realize that gay people are just people. That the plot of the film is a gay guy figuring out that gays are not as weird as he thinks just drives this point home. Trick is, despite the title, simply a standard Hollywood romantic comedy where the plot is boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy gets boy back. And instead of having the gay best friend of one of the characters providing quirky comedic lines, we get Tori Spelling providing quirky comedic lines. The movie focuses on Gabriel who, despite being a writer of musical theater songs, isn't a cliché gay at all. In fact, he's so turned off by the clichés of gay life that he doesn't feel like he's really gay or belongs. Camp, drag queens, political activism, gay pride - none of that stuff does it for him. He's just a normal guy who likes sucking dick. Because he doesn't feel any connection to the gay community at all, he doesn't even think about getting a boyfriend and instead just does random one-night stands whenever he's horny enough. One night after a three-month dry spell, he hits a local gay bar. He's hit on by every stereotypical type of gay dude possible and leaves disgusted. But he's followed out by a hunky dude who is one of the go-go boys at the bar. The go-go boy tries to pick him up and he figures, why not partially because he wants to find out if the boy's nickname, Beer Can, accurately reflects the size of his dick. When he takes the go-go boy home, however, his fag hag (Spelling) is at his place printing out a bunch of her resumés, and she just keeps talking and talking and not getting the message that she should leave so the two of them can bone. After she finally does go out the door, Gabriel's roommate turns up with his girlfriend (they share a studio apartment) and the roommate and his girlfriend start making out so erotically it totally turns off both Gabriel and the go-go boy. So, they decide to see if they can use one of Gabriel's friends' places to fuck in. They track the dude down and just as he's about to give them the keys to his place, his ex-boyfriend turns up, they make up and Gabriel and Go-Go Boy are out of luck. Next, they decide to hit a bar Go-Go Boy knows about where people can fuck in backrooms/dark corners. But this becomes a disaster too - first because there is a drag queen there whose persona is Tori Spelling's character on Beverly Hills 90210. Having a drag queen around who looks just like his fag hag turns Gabriel off a bit. Even more of a turn-off, however, is the fact that he quickly figures out that Go-Go Boy has literally fucked every single dude hanging out in the bar. This freaks Gabriel out so much that he just walks out of the bar without saying goodbye. He heads home, but Go-Go Boy follows him. They then try to go back to his apartment, figuring that his roommate and his girlfriend may have stopped fucking by now. They have, but when they arrive the girlfriend is still there naked and it turns out she's some weird new-age sex counselor who tries to first give them weird relationship advice and then tries to get Go-Go Boy interested in her. Gabriel reaches his breaking point and screams, I just want to get laid! At which point Go-Go Boy is like, Hey, I really like you. This isn't just about sex to me. I want to get to know you. If I'm just a pretty boy to fuck, fuck off, and storms out. Gabriel then runs after him and they decide to hit a diner. Of course, Fag Hag Spelling is there with about 10 of her friends all of whom run over and share the table with them. He wants her and her friends to take off because he's desperate to tell Go-Go Boy that, yeah, he does have feelings for him, but can't bring himself to say that for the first time in front of all of this comic relief (including Spelling screaming, I really like fish, maybe I'm a lesbian!). Finally the other characters leave and Gabriel and Go-Go Boy finally have some real alone time. They talk and both admit that they are totally into each other. They have their first kiss and it's electric. They realize they love each other and that while they both need to go home and crash, they will meet again the next night and have a real date, because they have the love bug. That's when the movie ends as it would with any romantic comedy. Gabriel, of course, realizes that he doesn't hate gay people really, just the shallow gay people he'd been hanging out with before. Now that he knows and is in love with a normal gay guy, he accepts himself for what he is, and it's clear there is going to be long-term romance with Beer Can in his future. The only unanswered question at the end of the film is, if you are dating a dude named Beer Can, exactly how much lube are you going to need to buy? I'm guessing he probably headed over to Wal-Mart and bought a family pack. Anyway, if you like romantic comedies but are tired of them always being about Meg Ryan falling for Tom Boring As All Hell Hanks, then Trick is for you. cc boytoy.com 2013

Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We never know what someone sees when they look in the mirror. What we perceive as horrible may be beauty in their eyes. I am always happy when I look into the mirror and see Robert Redford staring back. (his photo is on the top right corner of the mirror) Trey is a sweetheart and I always thought he was beautiful and needed no work. But, he must have done this for himself. For those of you who have not read Bangkok 8 by John Burdett give it a read. It relates to this topic and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw those photos.

I believe that that photo is the end. Deb puts Dexter in the same position he has put so many in and thus the cycle will continue with her.

Well, when one buys a board the owner does not try to push out an active poster even if he was the past owner. Message boards exist for all to enjoy. I am sure the new owner will do a great job there but the past owners all seem to participate there don't they? That is a good thing IMHO but I am a bit prejudiced in this matter.

Christian will have to answer this reasons for this but when I lived in Bangkok for a year, I loved it and love the many things about the city. But, it was nice to get off to Pattaya to visit friends and the bars. I loved the gogo bars in Pattaya so much more than any of them in Bangkok. When I was in Bangkok, I found I spent more time in the massage houses and not as much in the saunas as I hated the price of drinks, the pushy mamasans and the cost of it all. Pattaya was always a great place to visit, enjoy and have sex. Plus, there were more farangs that I grew to know over the years in Pattaya and I always enjoy catching up with them.

Kittyboy brought up the fact that he lives in China in Christian's thread. I didn't want to derail it but I hope he or others will give some information about living in China. I have been fascinated with China mainly due to the posters on this board and their visits to the country. However, it is not a place that I would consider moving permanently. What makes China better or worst than Thailand? Is it easier to live there? Do you find the laws more constricting? Is the cost of living similar? For retirement, I have really only considered Thailand and Brazil but I would be very curious to know what others that have moved to China experience.

I totally agree.

I have no desire to break the board rules and call you an idiot or a douche. That said, welcome to the board. I am so glad you have so much passion about this topic.

Well, if you have to ask that question, I might have to judge you as not being able to read between the lines. No matter how much you are judged here based on your postings on an anonymous message board, that does not represent the true you. You may be that way in person but you may be the opposite. And for a person who this thread is about, both his real name and his online persona is brought into question. They were not the same. He was a very kind and funny man and indeed a true gentleman. Your thoughts about his online persona is shared by many. I understand it. I just don't think those that didn't know him personally should make those judgements in his obit. IMHO

Yes, I do have more sympathy for someone who dies of cancer than I have for one who made a decision to end their life on their own terms. You are right, that is what I believe. I did not say that the friends and family of both individuals did not suffer the same. Death is hard to deal with in ANY situation. Young, old, rich, poor it doesn't matter. The family will suffer no matter the way someone dies. I do think that families of those that commit suicide have a lot more going on in their minds thinking about "could I have done something" "should I have spent more time with them." etc. But, sorry for the individual person who dies, I do have more sympathy for someone who dies of cancer than someone who takes their own life. That may make me a prick to some but it is the way I feel.

Oh my. I did not mean to say that I disdained someone that commits suicide. I do not. I just believe that they made that choice themselves and that is a right they have. It is a choice I respect and have no problem with anyone making that choice. But, I do believe it is a choice. If someone has cancer and commits suicide then they made that choice didn't they? Again, I have no problem with that at all and I would completely understand that choice. I am watching this season of The Big C. I have watched every season. If you watch this show and have not seen this weeks episode, SPOILER ALERT The main character decides that she wants to live life without chemo or radiation and enjoy what time she has left in a dignified manner. Having been the caregiver of many who have died of cancer, this is something I completely understand and something I may even choose for myself when the time comes. But, I hope I can always make decisions about my body and my life and my death. Many do not have that choice. Some do and I envy those people and I do not hold them in contempt.

Great. Can I judge a new poster who just joined the board less than one week ago and admits he did not know the man in question by calling the new poster an asshole or a douche-bag or an idiot if his behavior shows that? I mean, you do say we should judge right?

ha too funny dude. My favorite post in a long time.

Sounds good. Tell us more about yourself Kittyboy. Give us your life story and bio. We are all excited to hear about it and once done, we will be sure to tell more truth when you go into the great hereafter. I think that we could all learn from you and you may inspire us to better behavior. So, sit down and tell us all about yourself.

Great post christianPFC. Thank you. I do not think this has been a failure at all. It is a learning curve and you seem to be ahead of the curve. That is great. The other things that you desire will find their way into your life when you least expect it. But, I bet it is still an amazing fucking journey!

It is so interesting the discussion of the dead and the peace and their soul etc. I guess I am one of those that just believe when you are dead you are dead. There is just nothing after that. Do others follow philosophy that there is an afterlife? Or, like Buddhists a reincarnation? What are your views on death? Also, I have said for years that if I were to get an illness that was going to take my life that I would take my own life when I wanted and on the occasion I wanted. I have no desire to die in a hospital or in any place that I can't full take care of myself. I guess I just prefer to go out on my own time. Do others feel the same about this or differently?

Thanks. I check in every day and post some. I can't post as much about my boring family as I can with Thai boys or Brazil boys. But, I spent most of the last week with programmers working on a fix for the speed issues. I am here though. Thanks for the shout out.

Rhode Island became the tenth state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage after the state legislature approved the measure on Thursday. Gov. Lincoln Chafee is expected to sign the bill at 5:45 p.m. ET. Last week both the Rhode Island House and Senate approved by large margins measures allowing same-sex couples to wed, but more votes were required after the legislation was tweaked. The law will go into effect August 1. Iowa, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Washington and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage. Their combined populations, based on U.S. Census estimates for 2012, represent 15.8% of the U.S. population. The addition of Rhode Island's 1,050,292 residents will nudge that up to 16.1%. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/02/tenth-state-set-to-make-same-sex-marriage-legal/

I agree. This thread should be about John and the positive impact he had on so many. Thank you for bringing us back on topic.

I knew you would. You are passionate about the subject. I also wrote what I wrote and stand by it. Cancer which is often not curable by meds and people fight hard to survive is not the same as someone deciding to take their own life. I have had several friends commit suicide and while it is hard for friends and family, it is also their decision. An unstable mind may have led to the decision but for many it is was a decision that made that was easier than living. Those that die of cancer do not get to make that decision. Sorry, but there is little comparison between the two and I am sorry about but I don't not feel sorry for those that take their own life. They made a decision and I respect that and I do believe they should have that right. It may be uncharitable of me but I don't feel sorry for someone who makes a decision to do this. I admit that someone young making that decision brings about different emotions to me than someone who is an adult. I am so glad you think of John and Margaret in the same way. You are too kind and I am sure he is happy you consider him so important.

Let me be clear, I am not upset or angry at you in the least. I thought what you wrote was crass and unneeded. The history does indeed speak for itself. There was nothing you wrote that you have not expressed in the past. Was there really a need to rehash it here in this thread? Is it something you just needed to get off your chest? I also think unfair to compare someone who killed themselves to someone who died of cancer. I guess I have so much more sympathy for those that die of cancer based on many family members who I cared for in the end of their life with the same problem. So, yes, I am biased as well in that. IMHO, What he did/said was wrong and nasty. What you wrote was the same. But, I grew up in the deep south and was always taught to not speak ill of the dead. What is past is past. Let me just ask you, do two wrongs make a right? The man is now dead for goodness sake. Let him rest in peace.

Has it officially opened to the public?

I for one was very happy that everyone that posted about him on this forum had class. Until today.

We made several changes in MySQL settings after we did some modifications to the code. They said it worked but I heard this from them 10 times before. LOL
