Mostly, this weekend, I saw The Heartbreak Club, a small movie that came out earlier this year about a group of age 20 something gay boys in West Hollywood. In other words, a "my old gang" movie. Sort of a gay "Four Funerals and a Wedding" without the wit. No weddings but one memorial service where voila, a white grand piano appears at the grave site. John Mulroney of Frasier is the funeral. Dean Cain (formerly of Lois & Clark) and Tom Olyphant (sp?) star. The actor who played Skipper on the first year of Sex in the City is also in it. Whiney guys trying to find meaning in their lives. Not very imaginative.
Which brings me to an update on Showtime's Queer As Folk: Whiney guys trying to find meaning in their lives. A soap opera with nudity. Topical. A bit silly. And as Bruce Villanch wrote in the past Advocate Magazine, not representative of all gay people (BV says it shouldn't have to be). Best line about it: if this what the boys look like in Pittsburgh, why am I living in LA?
