Got new issue of Attitude which had interviews w/Holly Johnson + Ben Schnetzser (who plays Mark Ashton in Pride - they had an interview w/some of Mark's real-life friends talking about him.). They also had a review of The Riot Club + a bit on The Wizard of Oz.
They also had a feature on closeted gay/bi actors from the golden age of Hollywood which had Anthony Perkins, Spencer Tracy, Rock Hudson, Cary Grant + Rudolph Scott, Tyrone Power, Montgomery Clift and James Dean. They did use a lot of quotes from Scotty Bowers (I've got his book, Full Service, about his time as a prostitute/procurer in Hollywood + it's entertaining but I'm not convinced it's 100% true).
They had a feature on 20 Campest Films which included some entries I would expect to see like Showgirls, Barbarella and Strictly Ballroom and I couple I wasn't expecting like Rocky III and The Towering Inferno (please, The Poseidon Adventure is far more camp!). I'd love to see a remake of The Towering Inferno with all my favourite actors in it - I want Tom Hardy to play the Steve McQueen/fireman role.
Saw the last episode of Chasing Shadows. For me, the standout of it has actually been Noel Clarke as a police officer + I love Alex Kingston in it too. Reece Shearsmith is OK but I feel like his character is a bit of a cliche
