Is this a gay movie?


Hey is anybody know if this movie is a gay movie? Get back to me

reply

I think so.At least it was what i´ve read about it.
Do anyone know what happend with Saffron Burrow??She was supposed to be in this film.

reply

I think Briget Moynahan replaced Saffron Burrows

reply

what saffron wasn't hot enough?

a few minutes with google picture search properly dispells that rumour...
bridget though i don't think is likely to go quite as far as saffron or radha may have.. we'll see how it turns out...

i don't think most people would recognize her in the role anyway, it would kinda make the movie more obscure and gain it less exposure had saffron taken the role. not like the subject matter would allow the movie to get very far up the charts in the first place.

reply

It's a lesbian film that will most likely have a happy ending.

Gay. As in homosexual. Is this a movie with gay characters/themes.

Not 'is this a stupid movie'.

Who would say that anyway? It's very degrading for gay people who have to listen to that bulls**t everyday.

I know, heaps of people do it. I'm not saying you do, I'm just pointing out how annoying it can be.

personally, i *do* use the word "gay" to mean the non-homosexual things listed above, but only with people who know *exactly* what i mean. i don't think it's homophobic in the slightest, just like i don't think that misusing the word "ghetto" is anti-semitic.

improper, even horrendous abuse of the real meaning of the word? Heck... "gay" means "happy".

can't really complain when slang changes a word that was already slang.

I can recommend "Claire of the Moon," although some find it lame, which would be a pun on the use of the word "gay" as such. I'm having a really difficult time liking Heather Graham and I think it's showing in the poor receptions with her last five years of films. She is rumored to be a bore on the set with following professional guidelines. Is she rebelling against her parents or just being a bore? Skyy vodka ads may be her forte, LOL.

"Claire of the Moon" was a decent lesbian love tale of older gals. I wonder what its director is up to these days...

Anyway, everyone stay gay, regardless of its meaning. It's a good thing.

The movie does have a homosexual character - at least it might. She isn't really sure. The important thing is it's done very tastefully. And whether you are straight, bisexual or gay you will find yourself enjoying the humor in it.

reply

Does the Charlie character turn gay in the film? Or is it just Heather Graham's Gray?

reply

Yeah, we do find it annoying, so in my group of friends (mostly lesbian women but some straight people too) when we think something is lame, we say, "that's so straight." or "that's so hetero." It makes just as much sense to us and we get a laugh out of it! :-)

Has anyone seen the movie? It says it was out on feb 23. I haven't even heard anything about it until now.

I'm a lesbian....I call things gay all the time (as in 'lame') I guess it is all in how you look at it. Have fun everyone!!! Love your friends more each day.

reply

Clarie of the Moon is one of the worst lesbian movies ever made. If not THE worst. People view the film only to poke fun at it.

If you want a well acted, beautifully filmed, erotic lesbian love story I recommend When Night is Falling.

Rachel Shelley from the L Word is in this film. She is stunning. I can't wait to see her on the big screen.

reply

What is the movie about? What role does Rachel Shelley's character play? Is it available on DVD? Cheers

reply

Listen I have gay and lesbian friends and they dot' get offended when I say something is gay. Just like when someone calls someone a Bi***. I don't' get offended. This movie is not promoting or putting anyone down for their sexual orientation. I think it's a celebration of love in general. People look at it this way.

reply

I hate it when people say b i t c h . When you're talking to me if you ever call me that I'll knuckle down. You should never call a woman that. That pisses me off.

reply

this is completely off topic one_beat89, but i love that quote at the end of your message. ... felt i had to share

reply

Hahaha, thanks. . . gotta love Margaret Cho!

reply

I wouldn't call this a gay movie. About 35 minutes in, one of the characters starts to question but it isn't the sort of film you won't get or appreciate or laugh at if you're straight. If anything, it the empathy you feel when you see how bad things can suck (and how good they can feel) from EVERYONE's perspective says that it really doesn't matter what you are.

Subtle, sweet and right on the money.

reply

Wouldn't call it a gay movie, but I would call it a bad movie. It was the sneak preview last night at the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, so the distributor is trying to position it for some niche market draw -- perhaps sensing that it will have limited critical appeal.

Major pacing problems and Sissy Spacek is almost embarassingly misused. It's bad TV on film.

Molly Shannon saves the day, though, in a comic turn a la Joan Cusack in Broadcast News.

This thread is retarded...kidding! Kidding, don't be so lower-middle class about it... Kidding! Some of you guys are gay...



And now, let us go out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

i love how heather graham kinda gets this psycho look in her eyes sometimes. just...totally blank...like a cat who appears to be content with you petting it but then suddenly busts out the claws on you *hind feet fury!*


see? i'm the threadkilla now ;D

reply

Is that your sig or did you do that on purpose? Cuz I'm totally a thread killer...

Either way, that was kinda funny. I laughed. I'm laughing now but an exclamation point didn't look right at the end of that sentence.

See? THREAD KILLER!

Now THAT post was funny! "hind feet fury"... wiping a tear away just imagining that one.

Propaganda seems to be a bit harsh.

Hey, it's their movie. Let them have their own way. The criticisms should come after that.

reply

Also, another good lesbian story is Lost and Delirious.

Well, if we're allowed to form opinions, mine is that you park your car at the top of a steep hill. Run to the bottom of that hill, and have me put the car in neutral, while you stand in the exact place that said car will run through. That's my opinion. You may feel different and that's fine.

you my friend are an arse!

Fire bat reminds me of an old friend of mine. This gentleman realized, one day, that men turned him on. Eventually, he had a gay encounter. Unfortunatly, he was not able to accept himself as gay/bisexual, whatever he may have been. So he got religious. He would scour the internet, creating posts on gay boards regarding the horror of homosexuality, etc. His logic was just as circular and flawed as Fire Bat's. He even used the same harsh generalizations, as if homosexuality were the same thing as incest or beastiality (I should note, the implied wrong with these two acts is the fact that they are INVOLUNTARY). In any case, if this friend of mine didn't eventually hang himself, I would have assumed he was Fire Bat himself.

The point I'm trying to prove is that people do not come to a forum to smear a belief unless they are activly trying to reconcile something within themselves. Its obvious Fire Bat has something pinging around in the dusty hollows of his mind...

Fire Bat: The bible condemns eating shell fish in exactly the same manner as it forbids homosexuality...yet you don't go on gormet forums slamming them, do you? Fear and hatred of homosexuality is a decidedly social construct, not divine. If the only thing god wanted on this planet were simple male/female reproduction, he would have been happy with the animals. Humans are a step above precisely because of our capacity to love.

Hatemongers like yourself should try to find and spread love...that's what god would want. Please, do us all a favor and save your childish rhetoric for someone/someplace else. Also, do yourself a favor and visit a gay bar, you may find an entirely new and welcoming world to save you from your stifling existence.

haha the kingdom of heaven!

so you i am assuming you hate non christians too cause of this 'god' thing

how close minded can someone be

reply

First: You are entitled to your opinion. I have no problem with that. Just want to make that clear.
Second: I'd like to say that there is nothing wrong with being gay. I don't know where you got the idea that it isn't right by God. I find it hard to believe that you actively decided to be straight from a young age, so I do not understand why you think that people wake up and actively decide to be gay.

In saying that you "do not accept people that choose to defy God" you, yourself are in a sense "defying God." We are not supposed to judge others. That is God's job. All that Jesus said we need to do is love God, and love our neighbors. Unconditional love.

"I happen to disagree strongly with their choices."

No one chooses to be a homosexual.

I have issues with people that hide behind God in a thinly veiled self-righteous crusade. Get off your high-horse.

I have no idea, sorry! But one thing I know for certain is that it won't show at cinemas where I live, the government is seriously homophobic. It's actually quite depressing how closed-minded they are...
I'm probably going to end up buying an illegal copy of the DVD that doesn't even work and gets one poor guy deported for trying to make a living for himself and his family abroad.
But I hope everyone else who gets to watch this movie enjoys it and is inspired by it!
