I don't get the movie...


Can someone somehow explain it to me? I only got the part that one of them were lying and that one of them, the red hair was actually a guy or maybe not?...but then I got very confused...but it seems like it's a good movie once you understand it...

Karen Black's character's name is Joanne - not Josephine

'This turned Joe completly against women and therfore gay'

I don't think this was an accurate summation. I believe Joe was gay anyway, bisexual maybe, plus he was gang raped at the graveyard by Lester T and others.

I'm gay, but I'm not AGAINST women...literally and figuratively...lol.

I JUST WISH THIS MOVIE WOULD COME TO DVD!!!!!!!!!!!


No, no..."cruelty." I always think that has a nobler ring to it.

i think this film deserves a dvd release with some features about the broadway show it came from.






"Beaverhausen--as in where the beaver live"---LOL too funny!!!

God, did someone really write that? Such blatant ignorance. People being gay or not is innate, like their eye color.

You can't choose it.

You can't change it.

You can't wish it to change.

You shouldn't spend a lifetime apologizing for it.

And you should be proud you're living your life the way God or nature intended you to.

I would offer this to you: Look beyond all that and ponder for yourself what life's illusions have been. Perhaps then you'll be able to find hidden, deeper meaning in what's actually going on between the characters.

Eighty years ago there was a famous theatre critic named Alexander Wolcott. One evening he was watching a play (don't remember the title) with a famous old-time actress, Tallulah Bankhead. He asked her what she thought of the play, and she said "There's less to this than meets the eye."

And, for me, that really sums this movie/play up. If it's meaning(s) don't, pardon the expression, "resonate" with you, don't worry about it. They don't "resonate" with me either. Though, I'd have LOVED it if Jim Morrison had knocked me up before he croaked. But that's for another chapter of bad drama... ;9)B
