I'm glad you got it. I regret I wasn't able to attend the festival. Thanks again for writing up the film.

He was one of the first Englishmen of the modern era to come out as unashamedly gay and he was my inspiration <A HREF="http://gaysocrates.blogspot.com/2009/04/butch-bitch-whatever-be-who-you-are.html" REL="nofollow">at the tender age of 14</A> to simply be brave enough to be who I was.<BR/>The film is full of his unique brand of camp witty wisdom. I cant recommend it highly enough-if only as a reminder that without his ilk refusing to subdue himself we might not be living in the relatively more enlightened times we enjoy today!GaySocrateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517914043175326298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-36914017204346928792009-04-09T11:18:00.000+01:002009-04-09T11:18:00.000+01:00Oh no... not again!Every year we get the film list...Oh no... not again!<BR/><BR/>Every year we get the film listing for the festival and circle ones we're interested in going to, then real life catches up and we miss the whole thing!<BR/><BR/>DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!!<BR/><BR/>I don't know whether it's a budget thing, but it really is hard to find well made gay-themed movies. The other night we watched an awful one, mostly in German, about some prisoner who falls in love with another inmate. The whole thing was played up with the 'eroticism' of man-on-man prison life and it just came off as really badly made porn!<BR/><BR/>Then again, badly made porn is better than no porn at all, right?Ken Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970490152285414561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-4860017754957239582009-04-09T09:02:00.000+01:002009-04-09T09:02:00.000+01:00Heya,Glad you made it to..and enjoyed Baby Love. u...Heya,<BR/><BR/>Glad you made it to..and enjoyed Baby Love. um...gb...unless you and the main actor in Baby Love have 'a certain condition' in common...its not a boyfriend that you'll be needing to fulfil your paternal aspirations :P<BR/><BR/>Amused by your observation re Investigating Desires. There was a collection of short films bundled up into Sex, Drives and Videotapes which sounded like it would be a 'fun' watch. It did seem like pornography at times, like in the last short where three men are standing in separate windows in their apartment block j#$%king off and c$%mming on their apartment window. It was alte at night and on the whole...terrible...and it's a strange coincidence but the second short also had weird "snuff" bits where the two men shag and then one would pound the other...with his fists.<BR/><BR/>On a brighter note, have fun on your date with V and have an awesome Easter break.<BR/><BR/>Re M and your blog...isn't it weird having a secret blog identity that you would worry about in real life encounters?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
