daddytoddI really wanted to like this movie more than I did. In one sense it was like "Avatar" -- the dialog wasn't very good.
In another sense, it reminded of me a little too much of "the Boys in the Band." These guys were pretty damn bitchy and melodramatic. At one point Ron turned to me and said "It should be called 'The Boys and the Lap-Band.'" Ba-dum!
And it was a little too meticulous about having several nude scenes but no peen. Plus, the most "explicit" nude scene was of the skinny twink's ass. Not really interesting to us bear-lovers.
I enjoyed picking out songs from some of the "Bear Music" performers I love -- I spotted Freddy Freeman over the opening credits, a Bobbleheads classic, a couple by Elijah Black, and some guitar playing that I thought sounded like Jeffrey Altergott (he plays like Lindsey Buckingham, which is meant as a HUGE compliment) but I didn't see his name in the credits. They should've found a place for a Kendall song, but then nothing's perfect.
Some will probably like it better than I did. I'm sick with the death cold, so that might be influencing my critical awareness -- and I've been reading Marion Zimmer Bradley all weekend, so I'm in a bit of a "Darkover" head-space.
Think I'll go read the new "Tales of the City" book that just came out. I liked the last one, and this one has a promising start.
