Peg Warming: The Story Of My Life

A peg warmer is an action figure that was over-ordered and is now hanging dusty in some discount aisle. Perhaps it's my sick mind, but I think the term is hinting at something sexual. I make no claims that these posts are interesting or even worthy of your time. Read at your own risk!

Queer Cinema

Brokeback Mountain
TransAmerica
Imagine Me & You
Rent
C.R.A.Z.Y.
Capote
Breakfast on Pluto

These are all films that deal with queer issues and are in theatres now. It's amazing how many well made films that deal with queer subject matter have been appearing at the cineplex. I've seen all of the above except for Capote and Breakfast on Pluto. I've heard great things about Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance in Capote.

I also saw a couple excellent gay-themed films on video recently:

Garcon Stupide (France/Switzerland)
Sommersturm (Germany)
Saving Face (USA)
Bishonen (Hong Kong)

All these films are highly recommended, especially Sommersturm.
