Another Gay Movie

Thanks to the renting smorgasbord plan we have from Blockbuster, Jason and I can indulge in ever guilty pleasure movie the place has to offer. Although Blockbuster doesn't offer actual pornographic material (you pervs!), it does offer a catagory of movies aptly named "Community Favorites." When you live in an area that was once deemed "the ghetto" and is now one of the trendiest places to be at, you can be assured that the Gays are involved. So Gay = Community.

So naturally, we are skilled in the art that is Gay-themed Movies. Who knew there was that many movies out there. I definitely didn't.

This brings me to my point. Another Gay Movie was released today, and I thought it would be fun to go. Going to see a gay movie in theaters? I know, it's madness! But I just got paid and needed something to do. Let me fill you in on Gay movie watching ettitquette at the theater. 1) Always go to a theater that only shows independent movies. Don't go to Lowes or AMC!! You're just asking for it. 2) No food allowed! Eating is unattractive. 3) If you look at someone for more than 2 seconds, you are legally obligated to have sex with him. (Okay, that's not true... for me, at least!) 4) Never go alone!! If you must, bring a random girl along. It's ironic, so you'll look intelligent. But not too smart to pretend you don't know it's irony.
So since it was mid-afternoon, I invited Becky. I don't know why I did. I guess I should of known better...

First of all, before I go into the 'Horrors of Watching a Gay Movie with Becky!' let me just tell you guys.... this movie ROCKED!!! The best comedic gay movie I've ever seen. Better than High School Musical, ya'll. Usually, gay movies are about "coming out" or "tackling societal issues" and all that boring overdone stuff. It's very odd that gay movies are basically all about these things. I never really realized it before. I can't think of a gay movie where the main character doesn't cry, doesn't get bullied, and/or doesn't comes to terms with himself. Even in the comedies. But this movie delivers everything (and I mean everything) that those gay sappy movies do not. This leads me to the reason I wrote this blog...

Horrors of Watching this Gay Movie with Becky!

• Only girl in the audience. We thought there was this old lady in the front row, but it turned out to be an old man with femininely-styled gray hair.

On super gay scenes, I had to tell Becky to cover her eyes.

• Luckily, I did cover her eyes. I had promised Becky that we would leave if it got too raunchy. hehe. There were 39 times when I thought Becky was going to say "See ya!"


• Signature Becky laugh (eg. BLAHHHHHHAHW!)

Everything aside, I have to give it up for Becky. She's lasted to the end. A weaker girl wouldn't of.

On a related note, we saw a trailer for Jesus Camp. Geez, this movie is going to give me nightmares!!
