Going Down in LaLa Land this Summer: Never Date Someone Much Hotter!
We recently posted our “Top 10 Festival Movies to Watch this Summer,’ and now that L.A’s Outfest 2011 has released its lineup for next month we’ll add three more picks and make it an unlucky thirteen…
August is a sexy L.A. drama about ex’s who have unfinished business. Hunky Troy is back in former boyfriend Jonathan’s life after a long ago but still painful break-up. Over the course of a hot summer things get messy – especially as Jonathan now has a new boyfriend waiting at home – proving why you should never break up with someone much hotter than yourself. Carrie’s Aussie GBFF from ‘Sex and the City’ plays Troy.
I miss OUTFest!

If you are planning a visit/vacation to LA this time of year, do check out the festival: the best and brightest of the recent year’s gay/lesbian feature and short films, tons of people watching (lots of eye candy for boys and girls), very fun venues including, essentially, taking over the Directors’ Guild of America’s theaters, fun sponsor parties, etc.

In the early-mid 1990s, my hubby and I were corporate sponsors — well before mega companies became involved. So, our ads were briefly featured before each movie. It was much fun to be the butt of a Bruce Vilanch joke: “So, who the hell is Mike?”

What a predictable lot: soft core porn masquerading as film (just watch the real stuff online and save yourself the burden of bad plotting and worse dialogue) and pretentious melodramas that try to turn breakups into high art. I hope these are the best offerings. Cripes! Not only are these films walking on well-trod paths, but they don’t even seem interesting.

Oh, Murray. I heart you so. I would stalk you mercilessly given the chance.
