ollie89 10/14/17 11:39:11 AM #1:	When I was growing up, there was like maybe one or two critically acclaimed gay films (Brokeback Mountain was one of them), that, while great, left you feeling incredibly depressed. I think everyone who watched similar films was left thinking, "do gays ever get happy endings in movies?" It makes me happy that films like the oscar contender, Call Me By Your Name, (it's sad, but also very beautiful and hopeful) are a thing now. And it makes me even happier that we're getting romantic comedies like this: http://ew.com/movies/2017/10/11/simon-vs-the-homo-sapiens-agenda-movie-poster/ Having read the book, I'm pretty psyched. --- Woo! <cite>ollie89 posted [p:888416996] in Films feat...

Wouldn't surprise me if it does become a movie. The author has already disclosed that she has received film offers and whatnot. yusiko posted... are either of them fantasy stories? i like fantasy stories Not fantasy at all. One is a really poignant, beautiful love story between two men. The other is a really cute romantic comedy that will leave you with a perpetual smile on your face long after the book is over. --- Woo! <cite>ollie89 posted [p:888417606] in Films feat...

I too need works of fiction to tell me that gay people exist, they should be treated like human beings and good things can happen to them. @leverageblargh After hours of talking to you I never figured you to be a bigot --- http://i.imgur.com/sKghEcP.gif 8 October, 2023 <cite>armandro posted [p:888421360] in Films feat...
