Another Awful Gay Movie
[begin bitch]
I rented "Another Gay Movie" yesterday. That's another hour and a half of my life I won't get back. I should have known better, since I've already mentioned my dilemma with gay cinema.
I'm all for gross humor, but it should be somewhat clever. I watched it based on a certain birthday blogger's post that said:
"...it was raunchy and silly and good for some gut laughs....Hilarity ensues, with lots of penis and butt gags."
He must have been inebriated when he saw it, or text messaging potential BMB playmates. That would explain the gut laughs. I wish he had mentioned we would see Richard Hatch's repulsive penis. I nearly upchucked my spaghetti-o's with meatballs when I saw that, but luckily, I swallowed them back down.
This could have been a funny movie. I get that they were playing on extreme stereotypes and whatnot, but suggesting that fingering a guy's asshole feels like a spinach quiche is simply not true; it's much closer to a bundt cake with cream frosting. And no one masterbates with a condom on a cucumber! Except my ex.
Dumb.
And I was all excited to get Logo when we upgraded to digital cable. I have yet to watch anything on it. Every time I want to see what's on, it's fucking Queer as Folk, again. That was bad enough the first time around. Are there no other shows? If they're gonna keep playing the same old shit, they should just loop Tales of the City.
And what's up with John Mayer's hair?!?
[end bitch]
For now.

Eh, if you take the film as nothing more than a gay 'Porky's' or American Pie, it's all good. I did not take it seriously, but thought it was fun.
'Happy Feet' sux donkey dick though.

They were looping TOTC for a while there - it was awesome! That series really took me by storm - it makes me want to jump on the 1st plane to SFO and move! I'll take the house on Petrero Hill with the Labrador (and Beagle!) in the yard please...
I liked Another Gay Movie - it was light and crude. No worse than American Pies 1,2 or 3 and/or Van Wilder.

I had my ass dragged to that sorry piece of cinema when it came out in the theaters. I should have known better when they took me to this dive that only shows crappy "arthouse" stuff. They owed me like 3 movies of MY choice after that.
I could have gone to my grave not ever seeing Richards penis.

I "acquired" this flick Bit by Bit via a Torrent of some sort and I have to say, thank Ares I didn't pay for it.
Baby Chutney made me stop it 15 minutes in. When he's right, he's right.

Watch "Girls Will Be Girls." I recommend it. Or "Jackass 2."

I will say - the Richard Hatch part was nasty!

I don't get why so many of us gays get excited when schlocky entertainment gets targeted at us: "Yay! Finally an "American Pie" knockoff FOR US! We've come a long way, baby!"

I watched that movie and laughed exactly four times, and said OMG approx. 1000
