I keep wanting him to succeed. (Like Kevin Costner.) Don't ask me why. He's too close to the pretty end of the spectrum, but there's something kinda likeable about him. In Judas Kiss*, even though he is disheveled and nervous, it's still obvious that he is a quite handsome fella. He approaches this young thing
and is rebuffed by "the beautiful young Nate" (????), whereupon he chastises himself for punching above his weight and out of his league. After all, how could he, a 7 at most, approach a 9 like Nate?
On what planet? This kid is homely and completely un-built.
Now if it had been
Taylor Lautner is not actually handsome.
But he has a great body and, importantly, he got it mostly be being a martial arts fighter.
maybe.
Enough of my shallowness. Time to be deep.

There seems to be a theme going on ... a while ago, you detailed a gay bear movie about two guys who nearly got married, and then called it off Just Because. Now, there's a movie about someone trying to restart a relationship because I Dunno.
Prob the filmmakers should take these and some similar movies, and bundle them together as the Depthless Drama Collection.

Nathan, anybody who has watched LGBT cinema knows that a lot of it is absolute dreck is either high on gloss and glitter but low on substance, propaganda pieces populated by bright young things, sleazy exploitation pieces that purport themselves as "art," or out-and-out porn masked by production value better than most porn and scripts only slightly more sophisticated than most porn.
LGBT cinema does have some gems, though. Brokeback Mountain ranks high in my mind, mostly because I think it was not made for a specifically gay audience, but a wider one. And whilst it should fall into the first category, I do have a soft spot for Mambo Italiano. Think My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but Italian, with a higher dose of cynicism and snark.
