It was well done, and the message it sent in the end is one that I think most gay men in small communities can connect with. <i>Gayby</i> was quite cute, and had a lot of laughs, by far the funniest of the shorts, but sometimes depth can be more drawing than funny. :)<br /><br />I also connected strongly with <i>Curious Thing</i> as I had a very similar relationship with a straight friend in college. (And yes, I chat with him on FB on occasion, and see pics of this wife and kids... etc.) Again, something I think most gay men (of our generation? Am I that old?) can connect with.<br /><br />Great choices over all, and kudos to the programmer(s)!Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314961330766506008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206982122096688658.post-51916552619848473862010-10-15T10:50:04.601-04:002010-10-15T10:50:04.601-04:00@Stefan - You definitely read me wrong.

I really enjoyed the go go reject and the professor (the brazilian short) and gayby.<br /><br />Now, the programmers do like the films they present, right? It's just that at the end of this program, I went up to Michael and said "yeah, Gayby was good" but he sort of gave me that look like "really, you enjoyed it?" Well, that's what I thought but I don't always read people well...one of my greatest weaknesses....So....I don't know. Anyways.........................................................<br /><br />What I THINK it was is that Michael is so sleep deprived and therefore he's in a fog half the time. Michael honey get some sleep so you can look your best for closing night. I can't wait to see what outfit you'll wear this year! :)Stefannoreply@blogger.com
