Michael Fassbender’s penis...

Michael Fassbender on GQ. Even with his pants on, I can see the big bulge. Yum!

Ha! That should get your/their attention.

That was what I was 'Googling' on the last minutes of the day (Jan 15th) after I happened upon an article from the Modern Tonic blog about the new-ish movie (which Australia hasn't heard of before) 'Shame' starring (as on the topic of this entry) Michael Fassbender of course! Now is he that dude from X-Men? Me thinks so. Errm? And when is this movie going to hit our theatres???



Of course I didn't find any pics. (except of some clean ones above) Vulture e-mag seems to be all over it. And "How Gratuitous Is Michael Fassbender's Nudity in Shame?" It was kinda funny. This made me more and more curious. Now I really want to see this movie! *salivates* I wonder if Dendy will ever feature it or am I supposed to wait 'til the Sydney Film Festival hits town? Better feed the little piggy bank...

So I haven't done anything 'gay' today (like that's something one does in his/her everyday life)...besides read an article/page from Mate magazine Fall 2010 issue, which I leave in the toilet when I woke up and did my business. And some.

I'm also still feeling sexually frustrated. Of course.

It was raining for half of the day. *shame, it's so London-like here* and my original plan, after coming home from shopping, was to read the whole Mate mag (Fall 2011 issue). Man the eyes of the guy in the cover needs some making love to. Pity he's not my type.hehehe At the same time, I wanted to watch the whole copy of Season 9 of Family Guy, as background music, that I got at the markets in Manila. (so regretting not hitting any clubs in Malate like the O Bar or something...) That plan didn't concieve as I had to babysit and stuff...:( Speaking of Mate, man those Neds...errrr Dutch men really knows how to produce a great gay mag. *bravo/voetballer*

I did happen upon the latest issue of French gay Magazine Tetu (and by latest I mean October 2011) avec ils 'Nouvelle Formule' at the newstands in Parramatta which truly surprised me. O-M-G!!! I've only seen (and hunted) for issues of this amazing mag selling either at Town Hall station or at Oxford St. My eyes nearly lit up, to my surprise, to find this in the Western Suburbs. A-Mah-Zing!!! I readily read it in the bathroom, after coming home, as I did my thing for the second time of the day. What's wrong with my bowels today. Hey...get your mind off the gutter.

I'm not too fussed about their new format though. Actually, I take that back. I love the new size of the mag. Finally, it fits in my mag box properly now. But the new designs still needs to grow on me. It feels very Elle magazine and seems too busy, the fonts are vying too much for my attention and I don't know if I like the lack of white space. I like my white space. Donc Tetu, si vous lisez ceci, prend notes sil vous plait!!! Merci. I really need to catch up on my French though. I should really take the time to buy me a notebook, photocopy articles, stick it on the notebook and attempt to translate them. Nice. Oh and watch more French films on SBS or download more stuff. I am dying to read the article on the three guys who spoke about their 'First time with a man'. I think that'd be a good read.

There, I came upon a realisation that my fave French photographer Francois Rousseau has released a new book called 'Wet Men.' The title alone has gotten me salivating like a wet dog. Definitely something to add to the Wish-lust!!! I've googled some images for your delight. *not that anyone really reads my blog*haha




I also found out about the new-ish movie 'Beauty' by Oliver Hermanus and Chinese gay movie 'Permanent Residence' to add to the download list. The story of Beauty is quite interesting. It focuses on an aging man's desire to chase his hidden secret as he slowly falls infatuated with a younger very looking man. Enough to lead his life into a spinning wreck and transform into a horrid stalker. Whilst I'm interested to see all the skin in Permanent Residence, which is becoming more and more into a recipe and formulae in modern Chinese gay movies. Of course it narrates the story of the tragic love stories of gay men which is somewhat universal I suppose. Gander at the trailers kuds.




The later part of the evening was spent on the internet, just catching up with our big gay world. I should really stop spending too much time on the net. Thanks Manhunt Daily, AKA William, Tonic Potion and For His Eyes Only, and of course YouTube for providing some eye-popping entertainment for this evening.

Here's a few things I watched on YouTube tonight:


Days of Our Lives - Part 61 - Will and EJ
I hate this show. Ok, 'hate' is such a hateful word. But really, I wouldn't be caught dead watching a whole episode of this show. (unless it's full on snowing blizzards outside the airport and we're stuck to watch this gawd-awful show). But but but...the story of Will is getting a little more interesting. If the youtubers are pointing to the right direction where Will could fall for super rich super stud EJ in a Sugah Daddy kinda-way, then I'm in for the ride.


Grey's Anatomy Gay Storyline 4x14
A gay episode of Grey's Anatomy. I nearly cried. Plus the two actors are hot hot hot. Especially Todd. Sorry you lost your boyfriend. My shoulders are here (and everything else) if you need me buddy...



Santiago Tupper & Francisco Celhay (1) & (2)
I have no idea how I ended up watching this Spanish mini serie "Cumpleaños". I don't even know which country it originates from. (either Spain or somewhere in Latin America) But the boys are hawt, their smooching and now I'm very interested. Pity there's no English translation!? Lucky I understand some Spanish...


Matías Oviedo (2)

Pedro y Lola - Su Historia Parte 9
These next two are just some channels I clicked after the gay telenovela. And man am I surprised. How forward thinking of Spain to allow and show men's bubble butts on national TV without concern. I could get hooked on this. Someone STOP ME!!!

Do Começo ao Fim (From Beginning to End)

I just watched this beautiful film from Brazil. And I know that I should be truly disturbed but I'm not. (?) I really really fell in love with this film! I did.

"To understand our love, they'd need to turn the world upside down." How powerful is this line. It speaks to everyone whose love has been challenged.

The story was perplexed and agonising but utterly beautiful. (it helped that the cast were super gorgeous and were willing to be naked on film.hehe) But seriously. I loved it's freedom of speech and like what they said on film, it was "...liberating."

It's liberating when it's about love and it's true love and no one needs to bat an eyelid about it. When it's true love like this, it should be the only two people that matters the most. Everything, everyone one else is the obstacle, because they don't understand. When deep down, deep deep down...it should be ok. It is ok.

I couldn't believe that Brazil were able to do a film about this sort of taboo. Thank you Downtowne Films. And I know that these kinds of stories must exist in real life. I don't know what were they thinking, which audience they were trying to capture, how they made the crew to believe in this story...but they did.

And I'm glad.

It is...a Love Story after all.

Revue: 10 out of 10.



Cinematography was also beautiful. It reminded me much of the Brazil I remember and the Buenos Aires that I visited.

Thank you. Thank you Aluizio Abranches for making this film. And thank you Rafael Cardoso and Joao Gabriel in bringing this film to life!!! Truly wonderful film.

THE BIG GAY MUSICAL
The credits haven't even started and my first sight of Paul (Daniel Robinson) I knew I fell in love with the movie straight away. Gawd Daniel's hawt!!!

This is my first chosen movie (out of 5) for this year's Mardi Gras Film Festival here in Sydney. It's almost like an annual religion for me to attend the film fest (except when I was in Japan, and even then, I went to their gay film fest) and solely soak in the movies myself. Time to myself kinda thing. (although I wished this year Mike was with me)

I really really loved this movie. I adore gar movies with really really hawt actors in it that aren't afraid to kiss other boys, just like Daniel. Fuck, he had more kisses in this movie than I've ever had in life.

It had musicals (duh) with really talented singers and actors, it had religion (which was the one that brought me home) and mostly, it had a really really good and believable gay storyline.

Score: 10 out of 10. WOWZ!

Lovebirds



I'm a sucker for any foreigner who's willing to embrace our culture and attempt to learn the language.

The acting looks sus but I shall still probably sit there for an hour and a half just to give it a go. Kudos to the directors who's managed to nag a foreigner to star in one of our gay indie films...

SHELTER - Behind the scenes



I loved this movie SOOOO MUCH that I've seen it four times this year. I'm glad someone has posted the behind the scenes part of the DVD on YouTube. It was a little disappointing (in terms of their weak commentary and just the way it was cut) but I loved some of their comments. Like how Trevor said, "Coming into this...meaning going into this gay relationship, that I've never experienced myself, so, so doing that, was brand new to me, and I think by that, brought a lot of true values to Zach!" "And you know I've gotta be honest, it's, I don't know, it's was almost y'know, more passionate than doing it with a woman on screen y'know." Really??? Awww...gosh. *blushes* Trevor yer cute. Would you kiss another guy again?

The chemistry between Brad and Trevor was what really brought this movie alive. It was real and that was what yanked my heart. They did also say that it's not so much a gay movie, but about finding that special person (may they be male or female) who
you want to spend the rest of your life with. TRUE THAT!!!
For a second, I wanted to be Shaun when Zach asked, "You dating anyone?" and Shaun replies, "No I just broke up." I could do with such a perfect lie excuse.

If anything, they were right about one thing. Having two heterosexual men playing these uncharted roles did bring a lot of rawness to their characters. Which made it very believable and definitely one of the most classic romance stories I've seen in a very long time.

Well done guys!!! Congrats!

Here's a few more:



Brad Rowe looks a lot like the side view of Brad Pitt. Awww...

SHELTER (2007, USA)

Synopsis:
Forced to give up his dreams of art school, Zach spends his days working a dead-end job and helping ... his needy sister care for her son. In his free time he surfs, draws and hangs out with his best friend, Gabe, who lives on the wealthy side of town. When Gabe's older brother, Shaun, returns home, he is drawn to Zach's selflessness and talent. Zach falls in love with Shaun while struggling to reconcile his own desires with the needs of his family.

Here's the movie:

After Justin dropped the bomb on me yesterday about his supposed girlfriend I've been melancholy all weekend. (and feel like shit) I just wanted to watch Shelter again because it's an awesome awesome movie, it's gay themed and I wanted to see if there was anything I could learn from it. (in response to my present situation)

First, because in my first meeting with Justin, I remember him telling me stories about how he went surfing in Greece with his brother. The boy likes surfing just like Zach and Shaun in the movie. Second, there's a definate age gap in the storyline. Justin and I have such an age gap between us. I wanted to see if Shaun could teach me a thing or two.

What I loved in this movie: (as per my dilema) I'm living in such a parallel world. Shaun's way older and meets troubled Zach. Zach is going out with a girl (kinda) and confusion about his sexuality surfaces. When he re-meets Zhaun out of the blue, he finds inspiration in him and desires to spend as much time with him as he could. Justin and I are kinda like that. Justin (being only 16) has his own world of troubles. He's not so much into school, doesn't get along with his mother and I'm sure he has other things on his plate. Then he meets me. We don't get to spend a lot of time together, but when we do, he's all smiles. There's probably not a minute that passes that he doesn't glance at me. When I'm doing some work behind his back, he'll make that effort to do a 360 and still look at me. He gets gitty and nervous when he makes the firt move and tries to talk to me. He says "What?" a lot as if he hasn't heard me. He shies away from shaking my hand, and when our conversation goes way longer than he desires, he finds it hard to look into my eyes. He embelishes stories and they start not to make sense when he gets all nervous. These are signs to me. Outside of work, his text messages are hard and one liners. Maybe, he doesn't want his girlfriend finding them. Back at work, all he does is look for me. Confused or what.

The Best parts: I really grew attached with Zach and his ex-girlfriends affectionate "Hey Monkey!" greetings. I mean a monkey isn't exactly th cutest animal in the world, but it worked so well here. It was personal yet lovey-dovey. The first kiss between Zach and Shaun tugged my heart. It was casual yet you can start to feel the romance spark between them...and it was exciting. The mind games that happens after are so real. (I know cause I play this a lot) I'm glad that it was Zach that played the next move, just to give Shaun that heads up that the next ball would be in his court. Shaun was persistent yet not annoying. It had to be baby steps and they needed to take it one day at a time. He knew when to give Zach space and found the perfect moments to be with him again. The spraypainting scene of the wall was very inspiring. Zach was totally inspired and you live for those moments when you've found happiness. The hug was very touching. The love scenes gushy you could melt. And best of all, was the soundtrack music. It brought it in a little closer to the themes and it was really heartwarming. Cody was such a great link. He's like the dog that you can use as bait to attract guys around the park...in a human way.hehe

What they've could've done without: Gennie and the rest of her fucked up disillusions. But I understood her role. She was integral for Zach in finding his own path in life.

I learnt...that I could be more patient like Shaun. A shoulder to cry on, a strong brick wall to lean to, an ear to listen, a smile to inspire, I could be a friend to hang out with and most of all, someone who recognises and encourages peoples potentials.

I've finally managed to watch Sebastiane, the story about the martyr sexless saint. (I've downloaded this ages ago wanting to know more about his story everytime I saw a painting of him in Europe + for religious reasons)

It's a super old British film (though it's in Italian w/ subs) filmed in 1976 starred by Leonard Treviglio as Sebastian and it follows the story of a supposed beautiful exiled soldier and his companions. Personally I think it's a miscast. He's supposed to be beautiful and all. Leonard wasn't all that to me. They should've casted the other guy with the longish curly hair as Sebastian to fit more of the depictions of him in paintings.

I'd give this to them though. For a 1976 film, man were they good to pass the classifications. (did it even exist then?) Costume would've been very happy with this...or lack of thereof. The amount of cocks bouncing in this movie is gratuitous!!! (that's me saying I loved it! ^-^) And at least they did fulfill the homoerotism that's supposedly included in his story in the film. Adrian and Anthony's characters (played by Ken Hicks and Janusz Romanov) as lovers were very hot. Like it was straight out of a gay 70's porn. Lurve it. I really felt it for Severus' (Barney James') uber horny and love torn character as the lead soldier. To love like that but to be never loved back in return is so much a gay man's story. Must I also add, Barney James for a white man has such exotic looks I just wanted to either draw or photograph him...

For the movie, I might give it a 7 out of 10. Only because Sebastian wasn't doing it for me and the opening nearly turned me off the movie all together. I'm not sure how religious this movie was supposed to be, with the toned down sex scenes and the 80 mins of nudity, but I did feel how strong Sebs conviction was to remain a virgin. Bravo to him. Christ would've been really proud. (guess that's why he became a Saint) But to be killed just because of that...how flinstone is that.hehe I gave it a 7 because of Ken Hicks and well the nudity. At least it relieved a little of my own horniness.hahaha

I'm just wondering now how close the storyline is to the real thing. Did Seb really have this much temptation in life. Mah gawd, if that was me, I would've been sent to hell 10 mins from the beginning of the movie.hahaha
