I watched the Broken Hearts Club last night with Clay, Karen, and Tricia. It was a very good movie, but it left me questioning why I liked it. Was it that the film itself was good, or the style of the film. Does gay cinema have a distinct style, or it is just a regular movie with a different subject matter? The dialogue was very engaging, the characters complex and dysfunctional and real. There was a certain hyper intensity to it, a sense of it not being quite real. Or perhaps it was just a glimpse into a world I seldom see. When you aren't part of a sub-culture, you have to take the author's word on how realistic it is. They could be just reinforcing stereotypes, or showing the background from which stereotypes are drawn. Stereotypes are birthed in real behavior after all...
It was also very amusing to spot characters from Buffy and Angel among the cast of TBHC. Buffy's flame Owen (J.Crew guy) and Lindsay the fallen lawyer (Idaho guy).
Ever since I've been trying to be more discreet or use e-mail and chat at work, I've found myself amazingly bored. So I started a project to upgrade our older computers. Which I've not finished. And I find I am caught up as it were on my game hobbies. No armies to design, no games to plan, no chrons to write.
Guess it's time to dig out my networking books.
....reads....
Man, this is some dry shit.
....turns up CD player.....
Ah, that helps.
