For those wondering: Hellbent

I did see Hellbent. What an amazing piece of cinem… Oh, wait, wrong movie. Yeah, I kinda regret the two hours lost from my life never to be retrieved, but if you’re more prone to oggling muscular shirtless guys than I, or have a gore fixation, you may well like this movie. It has several standard jump moments. It’s kinda like a not-as-well-done Scream for the gay crowd. More or less what one would expect from the preview.

And I was 8 minutes late to class this morning. I think I’m going to start aiming for 15 minutes early and see if that gets me there on time. =)

  1. Haven’t seen it, and don’t intend to. First, because I’m too much of a nervous wreck to watch horror flics. I hate the “sick to my stomach” anxiety I feel when I watch those things. For crying out loud, I was sitting at the edge of my seat when I saw the modern version of Godzilla (yes, I’m a such a woos).

    But even if I did like that genre, I don’t think I’d go see it. I don’t like the idea of adapting everything to “gay”. I mean, some things were essential for us to be seen, and eventually accepted: gay litterature, gay bars, etc. Some things were meant as a venue for more openly social gathering: gay villages in its whole, gay sports activites, magazines. Those, and other things, I totally agree with, and encourage.

    But do we need to push it so far as to make gay horror movies? What’s the point? Do we need to have a gay version of everything? What’s next? A gay tv news channel? a gay weather network? a gay Oscar’s ceremony? a gay University?

    I think it was just an excuse to show some flesh. hello ghetto.
