Anyone starved for a bit of romance, listen up: the trailer for the new drama Sublet has arrived.
We covered the movie at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, where its story of a May-December romance won us over. Sublet follows a travel writer named Michael (played by the great John Benjamin Hickey) on a trip to Tel Aviv. While staying there he rents an AirBnB from Tomer (newcomer Niv Nissim), a sex-crazed 20-something who becomes his guide to the city. An odd relationship develops between the two as generational attitudes clash, and as both Tomer and Michael begin to confront their own hidden pain.

It looks mildly interesting. By the time it hits streaming I will have forgotten about it.

While I’m watching it, I’ll pretend not to hear the screams of wounded Palestinian children.

Can’t believe the comment about wounded Palestinian children. What about the 3100 rockets Hamas, backed by Iran, fired on innocent Israeli families for no reason other than envy and hatred? You are so out of touch with reality. Hamas forces the Palestinian people under threat of death to remain at the sites of their missile launchings, thereby setting them up as innocent targets when Israel has no choice but to retaliate. They are sick assholes deserving of miserable deaths. Btw, I am not Israeli, not even Jewish. But I have visited that country as more people should, and witnessed a wonderful, friendly, productive, educated, humane society to which we should all aspire. Much more than I can say for any Arab country or for most of the world now for that Matt. This movie appears to be a wonderful testament to that fact and I definitely plan to see it upon release.
