This week
my Towleroad article is gauging the amount of heat in the room (or subway) for one Channing Tatum since
Fighting opened today. Don't you love that Tatum's extending his pinky in the screengrab? It only makes me love him more. This article also covers the gay bits (there weren't many) from the Nashville festival.
After I wrote the piece I saw one more film that could have figured in. It was called
True Adolescents. The movie was about a 30something rocker (Mark Duplass) with more than a little of the Peter Pan syndrome. His aunt (Melissa Leo) convinces him to take her son and her son's friend on a camping trip. The movie starts out all slackerish and obnoxious but as it develops it becomes unexpectedly sensitive, especially in regards to the subject of adolescent sexual confusion. Not a gay film but gay
ish. It's uneven but it redeemed some of its louder impulses with a subtly tough ending.
