have you seen Shelter?

blog reader Nate recommended watching this gay movie "shelter" and it's in 6 parts on Youtube if want to check it out. OVerall, good flick, it's sort of a gay surfer coming out love story with parents conveniently out of the picture and a sort of "gay man's family dream" ending... but other than all the cliche's in the film and all the swearing so we understand just how BUTCH the guys are in the film, it's a great love story and very well acted, (the brother more so than the sister). And it's kind of fun to see the usual back and forth love/rejection that some guys deal with. also it's cool to see guys acting like guys gay or not whatever.
anyone seen this film? what'd you think? go check it out sometime.
I also watched "White", a new BBC show offered up on HULU. It's interesting, sort of a redux of the tv series "Chef" with the black chef, no? we shall see...
you know, I haven't been really pursuing guys or anything much lately, but watching that SHELTER made me wonder what it'd be like to be IN LOVE etc etc blah blah..
I've been getting some emails from my Austin bud, really sweet, about me living in Austin near him and it made me think that I want to get a hot young boyfriend too, and then he and I can go back to Paris with our b/f and have some FUN.. :)
oh man!!!!! this is my last night of staying up late... boo . Tomorrow night I'll be crashing early and up ready for teacher work days back at public high school job. alas. on the other hand I'm already accounting my funds and seeing what trips I can manage for fall break. today I found that travelling from NYC to Madrid is more affordable than Paris or London.. anyway have a suggestion of where I should go this fall, I just got to get out of the coutnry again soon!!! ha cheers all.

Dan,
I forgot to tell you that both guys in the movie are straight in real life. I freaking love it.

Love Shelter. It is one of my favorites in gay cinema.

Madrid is an incredible city and a great walking city....and do a professional walking tour, it's totally worth the $$. Great wine and cheap if you like wine, people very friendly and laid back, etc. Eat lunch LATE, like 3 or 4pm, dinner well after 10pm is the norm...good luck choosing.

I would recommend Greece provided the taxi strike is over... they are in dire need of tourist money

Yeah, Shelter was a good film. Glad you had a chance to see it (even if on youtube). ... Are you holding back on "being in love" for some reason, or aren't you there yet?
