I watched, Steve. I watched it all the way through two times....and cried more the second time than the first. I don't know whether to yell that I've decided not to be gay because it will hurt too much or if he made me respect myself more for being who I am. My heart just ached for him all the way through. I've never seen a movie quite like that before.
*How shy he was in that bar when Ed picked him up
*How he needed his mother's respect and that scene in the cemetary
*What he had with Alan
*How he knew things would never be 'enough'
Can someone please explain why Alan had sex with Ed in that barn?

How may I ask does one decide not to be gay??Thats like telling the creator that he has made a mistake..being gay is both a task and a gift.But then no-one would have reason to bitch at God if life was a bowl of cherries..Its too bad that Timmy has directed me to be VERY nice,because I would just love to say a few words to this poster--Thus I respond with all the love I can muster and wish him well.........rob:-/

Finally, smith! I'm so glad you were able to watch it...it's one of my top 10 film fav list.
Plus I am proud to say that Harvey Feirstien and I are acquaintances, (altho not friends really since I left NYC so long ago). He's now giving new life to the old John Waters film Hairspray, and I wish I could go see that, let me tell you!
It's my opinion that Alan slept with Ed in the barn because even tho gorgeous, he was insecure where Ed was concerned, as Ed was the "first love", so Alan was trying the competition on to see how dangerous he may have been. Jealosy and insecurity make us do many weird things...

Maybe I should watch it...
I'll look up where I can get it.
You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

It takes time...
Look at the person's background.
It's hard sometimes, I know. I still get self-concious a lot.

Most video stores have it and it is available at the library as well.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

smith,
Sorry I haven't responded earlier, but I'm just now getting back into circulation.
I'm glad you liked it. I agree that it is very powerful indeed, which is why I recommended it. Or did I recommend it because Matthew Broderick was absolutely gorgeous?
Anyway, it's good to know that you have looked up something that I recommended (at last!) [Private joke. Apologies]
To answer your question about the barn I would have to watch the movie again - which takes time

That is like "I don't want to say this BUT".
I regret this kind of behaviour.
BE nice,please. Don't say you have been asked to be nice. You can say whatever words you have to say in a decent and pleasant way.
