8 days of happy

day 1

What's making me happy today is gay happy endings. There're more and more gay characters appearing in more mainstream media, but a lot of the time they're pointed gays. A lot of the time there is a big black outline around them letting people know that this show is very Open and Accepting and All That Good Stuff. And that's when they don't end up dying horribly, or winding up alone, or any number of other delightful fates that are apparently to be expected. While I'm sure that's all very Worthy, sometimes I just want the happy endings that everyone else gets to have, y'know?

I've just finished watching Breakfast With Scot, a film about a gay couple that wind up accidentally taking guardianship of the gayest kid ever. It's twee and sentimental and kind of adorable, and it leaves me with a big grin and a lack of Moral Hammer headaches.

Also to be recommended:

Trick, a film about an aspiring musical writer who picks up a go-go boy and spends the entire night trying to find somewhere to shag.

Wilby Wonderful, a day in the life of a close-minded island, with a load of wonderful characters (and Callum Keith Rennie, HI).

Shelter, about surf and street art and self-discovery, cute and faintly angsty in the best way.

Saving Face, about the unconventional love lives of a woman and her mother.

Now I'm gonna go clean some more. :D

You're not tagging anyone for this after complaining that no one tagged you? :P Enjoy DreamWidth. Perhaps you can explain what the point of it is.

a woman and her mother

Trick! That is indeed an adorable movie. If only for the (scripted) epic meltdown of one of the supporting cast towards the end.

eeee! *is exicted for dreamwidth* Although I just realized that the DW also = Doctor Who.

I'm gonna have to check out those movies now.

YAY for Shelter! I keep trying to find the time to watch it again (and again and again and...)

Also, I'm very jealous about your Dreamwidth account! *coverts*

YAAAAAAAAAAAY you have seen Breakfast With Scot, I love it I love it I love it and only partly because dude, Eric is CASEY MCCALL IN ANOTHER LIFE. CASEY MCCALL WHO PLAYED HOCKEY. IT IS AMAZING.

(And yes Shelter and Trick and WW and ohh. *flail*)

HI, NNY, HI HI HI!!!!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

*giggles and glomps!*

HI DARLIN'!

I loved Breakfast with Scot! Even more because the book and the movie are Canadian. And Even moreso because the Toronto Maple Leafs were asked what they thought about the main (gay) character being a former team member and they were all, 'sure, whatever.'

Thank you for the other links, too. :D

Nnnnnny! I just got to the bit in Breakfast With Scot where Eric buys Scot a frame! MY HEART IS FOR GLOOP!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

ISN'T IT DELIGHTFUL?

[foreverdirt.livejournal.com]

OH SO VERY YES

a lack of Moral Hammer headaches.

I am totally okay with the moral "It's okay to be awesome!"
