A Mainstream Movie Weekend
This doesn’t have a lot to do with porn, but I rented a main-stream movie last night that is very close to obscene (albeit hilariously funny.) In addition to seeing that film, I also caught Brokeback Mountain, which I promised in an earlier post I would report on once I'd seen it.
Well, I finally got around to it this weekend. It's an amazing, disturbing, romantic, haunting and extraordinarily depressing film. The performances are terrific, the writing and direction just great, and the cinematography unforgettable. If you’re thinking it might be hot to watch two straight stars like Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger make out, you need to know the sex scene is quick (less than a minute of screen time) and you don’t get to see any of either of the stars' goods. Sure, the kissing sequences can get a little erotic, but that isn't the point of this movie, and you'll get over any horny thoughts within the first five minutes. Truly, it’s a film no one should miss, and if you haven’t seen it, get to it this weekend, before it leaves your local cinema.
Brokeback brought a lot of my personal memories back, I have to say. I once had a relationship very similar to the one presented in the film. The guy I was dating (this was almost twenty years ago) didn't want his family or friends to know he was interested in guys. I was always introduced as a buddy. He and I were secretly together for two years (on and off), and after we parted ways he married a very nice woman who ended up killing herself. Very sad.
With Brokeback Mountain I've now seen all of this year’s Best Picture Oscar nominees. I've liked them all very much, but I have to say if I were forced to vote for one over any of the others, it would have to be Capote. Philip Seymore Hoffman is amazing and frankly I felt the film hung together as a cohesive whole better than the other four. But Brokeback would be right behind it for my vote.
Much closer to porn, I rented the filthiest documentary I’ve ever seen last night. It’s also easily the funniest. I laughed harder than I have (at anything) in the last couple years – Really! Run out and rent The Aristocrats. It features 30 or so comedians (everyone from George Carlin and Phyllis Diller to Robin Williams and Jon Stewart) telling the same joke -- the world's dirtiest. And it really is really, really dirty. If you're easily offended you won't like this film, but since you’re reading this blog I have a feeling you’ll find it as gut-wrenchingly funny as I did. I highly recommend this one for anyone who loves comedy, dirty jokes or show business in general.
Okay, there is my report on my non-porn viewing from this weekend. Now I’m going to get out my cum rag, get naked, and start doing the real work the Lord intended me to do. And then, of course, write about it for you. I’m getting hard already.
