This is by far THE BEST gay movie I’ve seen. It’s not at the least bit flamboyant which is why I respect the film so much. The story is heart warming and the acting is nothing short of excellent. Yes, Brokeback Mountain wasn’t flamboyant either, but I find Shelter to be more closer to home and not on some isolated mountain with cowboys. Sounds like another gay film I’ve seen.

Now, the film is nothing short of eye candy, but isn’t that the main ingredient to romantic movies, gay or straight? I mean, I probably would not have gave it a chance had the leads looked tore up, but would you have watched the Titanic if Leonardo was some fat hairy guy named Gilbert? Don’t even think about it, I know you wouldn’t have!

Anyway, I think Shelter represents gay people like myself who aren’t the diva type. I think more films and gay characters like this need to be out there in mainstream media. Yea, the flamboyant gay makes for good television (who didn’t love Will and Grace?), but they’re not in anyway the majority of the population.

Matt, Migs, Apes:

The above photo was taken with the 5D mkII with a 16-35mm f2.8 lens. This thing is bad.ass.

This hobby of mine is fucking expensive. I’m eying the new 5D mkII. My bestbuy card is currently at a 0 balance awaiting 18 months of glorious no interest. Now only if they would stock this bad boy. It seems nearly impossible to get.

I did hear about some bad copies being distributed with some sort of black dots appearing in images, so I guess it’s good I wait a little. But those that know me understand that, waiting sometimes isn’t in an option. Not for this brat.
