Stray: Episodes 2&3 – The growing bromance between a gay guy & a straight guy continues

March 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago we posted the first episode of the new web series, Stray. Since then, Episodes 2 and 3 have been released, which you can take a look at below.

In the second episode straight Rich wants to know how the ‘Top and bottom thing works’, which leads to him getting more information than he expected from Jay. Then, in episode 3, Rich insists that he’s too straight to be able to tell whether a guy is hot or not, but Jy wants to prove him wrong.

Each episode is short, looking at some of the issues between gay and straight men. In some repects it’s almost a primer for straight men on gay dudes, but it’s quite fun whatever your sexual orientation. Take a look at the two latest episodes below. [Read more…]

bwoy Trailer – Anthony Rapp starts an online love affair in the gay-themed film

March 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s always nice to see Anthony Rapp on the screen, and now he’s back with bwoy, the latest movie from Parallel Sons and The Reception director John G. Young. The movie premiered last year at Chicago’s Reeling Film LGBTQ+ Festival to a pretty postive response.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘bwoy follows Brad O’Connor (Anthony Rapp, Rent) who, after the death of his son, becomes entangled in a chaotic and passionate online love affair with Yenny, a young Jamaican man (newcomer Jimmy Brooks).  With both Brad and his wife Marcia (De’Adre Aziza) seeking solace in destructive ways, their lives and relationships are pushed to the brink, culminating in tragic confrontations that no one can avoid.’

Breaking Glass Pictures has snapped up the US rights, with an April 4th DVD/VoD release planned. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Dropping The Soap Trailer – Jane Lynch stars in a camp take on soap operas

March 1, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Jane Lynch executive producing, as well as the Glee star appearing alongside a great list of guest stars – many of which feature in the trailer below – Dropping The Soap certainly looks like it’s got plenty of potential. The show arrives on streaming services on March 7th, including the gay-centric subscription service, Dekkoo.com.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Executive produced by Jane Lynch, “Dropping the Soap” goes behind-the-scenes of the long-running (gawdawful) soap-opera “Collided Lives”. As the program struggles to stay afloat, a new Executive Producer named Olivia Vanderstein (hilarious played by Lynch) shows up to shake things up.

‘While the cast and crew desperately try to hold things together, Julian Drake (the soap’s leading man of “questionable talent and moral compass’) played by co-creator Paul Witten struggles to keep his personal life private and his cast members employed.’

“As the TV soap opera itself circles the drain, I love how our crew of self-centered and desperate actors charge ever forward to save their show from the chopping block,” said Lynch. “The writing is so sharp and witty as the off-screen shenanigans become almost more absurd than the storylines of “Collided Lives.’”

A Very Sordid Wedding Trailer – The follow-up to Del Shores’ gay-themed cult classic is coming

March 1, 2017 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Award-winning writer/director Del Shores’ play, Sordid Lives, has had quite a life, spawning a movie and TV series. Now he’s returning to that world for a sequel, A Very Sordid Wedding. The trailer for the movie has now arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘It’s 2015, seventeen years after Peggy tripped over G.W.’s wooden legs and died in Sordid Lives, and life has moved into the present for the residents of Winters, Texas. Sissy Hickey (Dale Dickey) is reading the Bible, cover to cover, trying to make some kind of sense out of what it really says about gay people. Her niece Latrelle Williamson (Bonnie Bedelia) has divorced her husband Wilson (Michael MacRae) who has taken up with a hot young gold digger.

‘Latrelle’s now out and proud gay son Ty (Kirk Geiger) is on his way back to town with his black man and news of their own. Her sister LaVonda (Ann Walker) is still cussin’ and drankin’ and is being blackmailed to sit with the sick and afflicted. LaVonda’s best friend Noleta (Caroline Rhea) meets a hot younger man while visiting her awful mama in the hospital. G.W. (David Steen), sporting new fiberglass legs after Noleta burned his old ones, is still feeling guilty and mourning Peggy. Nearly incoherent barfly Juanita (Sarah Hunley) has moved from her obsession with Vacation Bible School roosters to the royal family while Wardell (Newell Alexander) and Odell (David Cowgill) still bicker at the bar.

‘Tammy Wynette champion Brother Boy (Leslie Jordan) hasn’t been back to Winters since Peggy’s funeral, and he’s working at a tragic little gay bar in Longview, having added Loretta and Dolly to his new medley act “We Three Queens of Oper-y Are” till a chance meeting with a dangerous criminal forces him out on the run. As the sordid saga continues, an anniversary memorial service is being planned in honor of Peggy at Bubba’s Bar while the Southside Baptist Church is planning an “Anti-Equality Rally” to protest the advancement of same-sex marriage, spearheaded by Vera Lisso (Lorna Scott) and Mrs. Barnes (Sharon Garrison). Both events are to take place on the same night, so the cast of colorful characters are all on a collision course for shenanigans and fireworks, and a surprise wedding!’

On March 10th, the film will have its World Premiere and then an exclusive two-week theatrical release at Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs, where the original film ran for 96 weeks. It will be followed by a national limited theatrical run by The Film Collaborative, expanding to Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, San Francisco, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale and other cities and dates to be announced.

An ‘Exclusively Gay’ Disney Moment Is Coming In The Live-Action Beauty & The Beast

March 1, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It was only revealed a few hours ago, but already some of the right-wing press are talking about it as if it’s the official end of the world, but there’s going to be an ‘exclusively gay’ moment in a Disney movie. It’s been a long time coming, as despite the company itself and its theme parks being known as extremely gay-friendly, on-screen Disney has a very bad track record with LGBT characters. Indeed, in last year’s GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index, the studio was singled out for not including a single identifiably LGBT character in any of its movies.

While there have been plenty of hints and potential gay subtext in a lot of the studio’s films (enough that some Christian groups are convinced that any Disney film that has a theme suggesting someone should be themselves, is trying to turn the whole world gay), there haven’t been any properly, unequivocally gay moments in any of Disney’s family movies. However, if director Bill Condon is to be believed, that will change with the live-action Beauty & The Beast.

He tells Attitude that the movie will add a little more the story of the arrogant Gaston’s acolyte, Lefou, played by Josh Gad. Condon says, “LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston. He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realising that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it. And that’s what has its payoff at the end, which I don’t want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.”

There’s no info on exactly what the scene it, but it would suggest that at the end of the film, Lefou might get a bit of romance with a man who isn’t Gaston. It’ll be interesting to see how it’s played, and whether it’s done in a explicit way, or whether Disney will hedge its bets by having it as something that adults will understand while it’ll go over the kids’ heads.

Disney has flirted with gay characters before, but usually in coded or secretive ways. For example, in last year’s Zootropolis, Judy Hopps’ male neighbours may well have been a gay couple. This wasn’t clear from the actual film (they could have been roommates), and no one even thought about it until it was noticed in the credits they had the same surname. The Beauty & The Beast scene certainly seems like it’ll be a step forward, although not exactly the sort of fully realised LGBT storyline we might like to see in a Disney movie.

Vera Farmiga Will Be Millie Bobby Brown’s Mother In Godzilla: King Of The Monsters

March 1, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a much longer delay in getting the sequel to Godzilla ready than originally planned, they’re now fast pulling the cast together. A couple of weeks ago, Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown was the first announced to be starring in the film, followed by Kyle Chandler as he father a few days later.

Now Variety reports that she’s also got a mom, in the form of Vera Farmiga.

As the casting news so far suggests, it’s not expected that many of the cast members from the first movie will return for the sequel, although it has been suggested the likes of Charlie Day and Ken Watanabe may be back. The exact plot is being kept under wraps, but as the title suggest, while Godzilla will be the king, the sequel will be introducing us to various other monsters, such as Mothra and and Rodan.

Michael Dougherty is directing and also co-wrote the script for the movie with Zach Shields. It’s expected to shoot this year for release in March 2019. Then in 2020, we’re getting a real monster mash-up, with Godzilla Vs. Kong.

February 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Akron got a lot of praise on the festival circuit, and even more when it was released in the US last year. However, over here in the UK we’ve had to wait for the film (except for those who caught it at the BFI Flare Film Festival), but thankfully it’s now on its way.

In the movie, ‘Benny, a college freshman at the University of Akron, Ohio meets and falls for fellow freshman Christopher at a football game. With the support of their families and friends they embark on a new relationship. But a tragic event in the past involving their mothers soon comes to light and threatens to tear them apart.

The movie hits DVD in the UK on April 10th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Moonlight Takes The Best Picture Oscar, While La La Land Picks Up Six Awards

February 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Well, writers have something new to include when it comes to Oscars biggest gaffes and bloopers – and this one will probably top the list for a very long time. Faye Dunaway read out that La La Land had won the Best Picture Oscar, the producers came up to the stage, and then, partway through the acceptance speeches, they were interrupted to be told, actually no, it was Moonlight that was the big winner.

The mistake came about due to Dunaway and Warren Beatty being handed the wrong envelope, which read ‘Emma Stone – La La Land’. It was presumably was a duplicate of the Best Actress envelope, as Stone did win for that one. Despite a pause and Stone’s name being there, Dunaway decided to read it anyway.

After the mix-up, surprise winner Moonlight went off to gets its Best Picture gong. It’s impressive for a movie few had heard of before its release, and is about the sort of character – young, black, poor and gay – that the Academy Awards usually give short shrift to. However, perhaps thanks to the Academy’s diversity drive this year, where they set out to invite people from groups traditionally under-represented in the Oscar voting pool to become members, it has triumphed. Some has also suggested it perhaps partially redresses the balance after the gay-themed Brokeback Mountain lost out on the Best Picture to the now half-forgotten Crash, despite winning Best Director for Ang Lee. Moonlight now becomes the first gay-themed movie to win the Academy’s biggest prize.

Moonlight also picked up Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali and Best Adapted Screenplay for Barry Jenkins. Ali’s win also marked the first time a Muslim has taken an acting Oscar.

While La La Land had the Best Picture Oscar taken from its hands – literally – which probably tarnished the evening for them, the movie did win more awards than any other film, six in total. That includes Damien Chazelle, who becomes the youngest ever Best Director winner at the age of only 32.

Alongside Stone for Best Actress and Ali for Best Supporting Actor, the other performance gongs went to Casey Affleck who got Best Actor for Manchester By The Sea, and Viola Davis who picked up Best Supporting Actress for Fences. Davis’ win also puts her in the exclusive club of those who’ve won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony award.

You can take a look at a full list of winners below. [Read more…]
