Another Gay Movie
Yesterday when I finally got home from running errands my pre-ordered copy of Another Gay Movie was waiting for me on my doorstep. I was so excited! I took some time to clean up things a bit and then make myself some dinner and relax, and then I turned the movie on.
It was wildly inappropriate.
I loved every single fucking moment of it!
Oh my gosh!! Oh how great was this film? I was enraptured in glee the whole time! The movie is not without its flaws, to be sure, but when has there ever been a perfect movie. It was good enough for me, and that's all I need.
I fell utterly in love with Griff, as I knew I would. There was multitudes of nakedness, and all things bodily. There was hot kissing and boy behinds, and everytime I saw James Getzlaf-from-the-gay-reality-dating-series-Boy Meets Boy-and-also-broadway's ass I had to pause the film and ogle, and then say, "Oh James, what would Andra say now?" It was rife with parody, which will always get me everytime, and it was just so fun to look at - so brigth and colorful. I truly truly hope that everyone had a good time making the film, because I had a grand old time watching it. The thing the got me in the end (no pun intended), was the relationship between Griff and Jarod. It was so sweet, cute, touching, hot, sexy, desirable. I also liked the main character Andy finally getting what he wanted in the end (pun intented).
Here's what I really really liked about this film: I loved that it envisioned a world where being gay was no better or worse than being straight, that it simply WAS. One thing that irritates me in the back of my head often and often is that the movie-world all around us, all around my brothers and sisters has depicted straight relationships, so they saw themselves on the screen all the time and thought nothing of it, they saw models of the relationships they wanted or were familiar with and it was just osmosed like it was nothing. However I have always had to search and seek, and go to great lengths to find movies depicting things I feel in my heart. It was just so nice to see this film presented RIGHT THERE, almost alongside American Pie, which admittedly is not a great film, but it is pop and mainstream and has heart.
I feel like I finally have my own piece of the pie. Or the quiche lorraine.
