Let's Go Logo, MTV's New Channel For A Gay Audience
I never thought I would ever endeavor to see how many times I could watch PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESSERT. But since you asked, I'm on my eighth.And yes that WAS an ABBA turd post SUPERMAN, pre LIMEY Terrence Stamp!
What is it about the movie?...well aside from the ingenious aboriginization of "I Will Survive", Hugo Weaving's tongue wagging lipsync ("Finally"!), the costumes, the dancing, and a Pre-MEMENTO, lick-pimiento-off-my-abs Guy Pierce. And let's not forget the stripper cum pingpong instructor who spoke in exagerrated Tagalog (*gasp*).
I think for me it's the scene where Bob (Bill Hunter), all fuzzy and puppy dog eyed presents Bernadette with flowers. His silence was so endearing. Yes, Gentlemen are a dying breed. Especially quiet, masculine ones with sweaty...OK, too far.
Thanks Logo for unleashing my hidden obsession with the Aussie Landscape (yes,Taity I said it!). And for showing such diverse programming that make us laugh (NOAH'S ARC- A Black queer as folk is quite entertaining) , think (TREMBLING BEFOR GOD about gay Orthodox Jews) and cry (The gay dads documentary was very touching).
And grow a new fascination for rugger men*....woof.
Ok, so who wants to see Russell Crowe making out with a guy**? (+ferventely jumps up and down, arms up+)
*referrencing GO DRAGONS a documentary about a gay chicago rugby team.
**Russell Crowe appeared in THE SUM OF US , where he played a gay plumber. Nuff said.

She may have been from Bangkok either in real life or the script. But that language is unmistakably Tagalog.
"Manigas ka!" she repeatedly says...which means indirectly..."Die!"
