Queer as Folk (1999)
They can show this on cable? Wow...
Just saw the first episode on Showcase last night... I guess I won't be getting to bed before midnight for the next few Mondays. This is a show worth staying up for... easily one of the best TV shows I've seen (not -the- best, but up there). I've heard it described as "gay drama", but that makes it sounds as if it's an agenda show (anyone ever watched "Christian movies"?)... it's gay... way gay... shockingly explicitly sexually gay... but above all it's good TV.
And since it's out uncut in Canada, there may be hope for our more sensitive neighbour to the south :)
Viskningar och rop (1972)
What am I Missing?
My friends don't let me rent movies. I end up picking talky films with points and too few explosions. But _Cries and Whispers_ left me with empathy for my philistine friends... and desperate for a car chase and a few gratuitous explosions.
In a desperate attempt to enjoy the film, I even tried drinking heavily half way through, hoping the soft focus of an alcoholic haze might make it all clear. No luck.
I would _love_ to read a critique that would explain to me why I am a low-brow philistine and what it is that I missed that gives this movie the reputation it has.
