were the world mine...

An all boys school, teenage boys shirtless on rugby practice, mysterious english/drama teacher, "Midsummer Night's Dream" play and at-first-weird-but-still catchy tunes. Oh we don't want to forget the bullied gay boy in the school. These are the main elements of Tom Gustafson's flick "Were The World Mine".

Although the casts aren't all that famous, they might be after this movie. Except for Wendy Robie, which is probably best known for her character in "Twin Peaks", a series back in the early '90s and Zelda Williams, Robin Williams' daughter, who I think is a real talent. One, we might be seeing a lot in the future.

The story is about Timothy (played by Tanner Cohen), a pupil in an all boys school, who "happens" to be gay and auditions for a school play of "Midsummer Night's Dream". He somehow manages to turn all the people in the town gay.

Gay man was pleasantly surprised of the young new actor Nathaniel David Becker, who played Jonathan. This is his first acting career (as far as listed on IMDB, gay man might be mistaken). Gay man has never been a fan of men under the age of 35, but Tom Gustafson has found two young actors, whom gay man finds sexy despite their young age.

A typical coming-of-age story, but still light in delivering its plot yet manages to mesmerize one, how's watching. The music will grow on you. Soon enough you'll find yourself humming to the soundtrack or even singing it. For those, who aren't fans of musical, might enjoy this.

Gay man loves a lot of things about this musical. The dream scenes, that are most likely inspired by photographers Pierre & Gilles. They aren't gay man's favourite photographers (gay man even thinks, that their work are a bit self-indulging and tedious, but it is only one gay man's opinion). Somehow the Pierre & Gilles scenes worked for this musical.

Well this might not be the right criteria for a review, but still Timothy and Jonathan are just delightful to look at through out the movie.

The fact, that Tom Gustafson didn't over do it, makes this musical probably one of those films (in gay cinema) that might be a classic.

Nathaniel David Becker and Tanner Cohen and as well as all the other casts are featured on the soundtrack as well. Becker and Cohen might not be singers, but those boys can sing and they did a remarkable job on the soundtrack (as well as all the other casts).

Gay man recommends this musical for those who are fans of coming-of-age stories but yet looking for stories on the lighter side.

wisdom out of a box...

Series have been one of gay man's pleasure, not guilty pleasure. Series can be shallow (especially daytime soaps), but one can learn a few thing.

Life is interesting, no doubt. But writers have managed to make life in series way more interesting. How do they manage to make life about a woman who by somewhat weird coincidence had to go to Alaska for a lecture and somehow stayed there after finding out her fiance cheated on her.

Moving to a town (or better said village since its population is only 234, at one episode 233 after one citizen died), where the ratio men to women is 10:1 (which if you watch the series it feels more like 20:1). Gay man fails to see, what is interesting in this series (at the beginning), but somehow the writers made it work. The series gay man is talking about is "Men in Trees".

The writers in this series managed to deliver dialogues, that don't come across as cheesy and actually although is in a fiction story but may help us.

In a way the series is like "Sex & The City" but less cheesy in dialogues.

This is one series gay man recommends. Gay man sure hopes the network is not going to cancel this series as the networks have cancelled a lot series gay man would've enjoyed.

When you're not in a good mood, "Men in Trees" is the series to watch. There are always those feel-good movies, well this is a feel-good series.

it's always sunny...

Gay man never understood, why being politically incorrect is such a big deal. If anything, it is hilarious. Just watch "It's Always Sunny in Philadeldhia".

It's a TV-comedy series about a gang, who owns a pub in... (exactly) Philadelphia. If there is one thing gay man loves about comedy, is that comedy is a media anyone can use to make fun of anyone.

Why limit comedy to situation, when race, politics, religion and sexual orientation can be subjects of great comedy.

Another example, Russell Peters. A canadian born and raised comedian, whose family is from India. He makes fun of people's heritage. It's all about the culture, habits and the accent of certain races when they speak english.

The political incorrectness portrayed in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is sometimes so outrageously funny, it might offend certain belief, race, sexual orientation or political view. But isn't ones intelligence also measured by ones capability to laugh about oneself. To those who are easily offended by political incorrect jokes, are strongly advised not to watch "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or any of Russell Peters' shows.

stupidity knows no boundaries (2)...

Unfortunately gay man can't deliver any picture as proof for this entry, so we just have to take his words on it, don't we?

Gay man did mention, he'd try to create a drawing or illustration of how it might look like. But that would be an update.

Here's the deal, the word handsfree consists of two words hand and free, meaning your hands are suppose to be free thanks to certain gadgets.

One thing gay man has seen over and over again is the excessive use of mobile handsfree kit. Either with wire or wireless. The point of these kits is to able one to talk on the phone while having one's hands free to do other things.

This particular phenomenon is very weird, cause more and more frequent gay nan sees people using handsfree kit but still holding their mobile with ine hand up to their lips. What's the point of using handsfree kits when you intend to hold the mobile up to your lips???

Gay man is not here to judge, but still he has his opinions. Using handsfree kits while holding your mobile up to your lips is like driving an automatic but to do so as if your driving manual (meaning shift gears). It would be understandable if the handsfree kit has a cable with the length of 2,54 cm (1"). The weirdest part is those, who uses wireless handsfree kits. For crying out loud, IT'S WIRELESS!!!! Meaning: you could put it in your pocket or in your bag, while your hands are free to harass someone's ass or do something else (gay man doesn't condone the act of harassing someone, unless both parties agreed on it).

Please, if you do intend to hold your mobile while having a conversation, forget the handsfree kit, unless you really intend to leave the mobile in the pocket of either your shirt or trousers.

P.S. It may look crazy at the first sight, talking to oneself, but isn't better to be considered crazy rather than make a fool of oneself?

it worked...

It worked... Yippie... Gay man can post anything from anywhere... Yippie...

Gay man was wondering if it's possible to post using his mobile. We'll soon find out.
