Bad language and far too many exclamation marks

ooI just watched 'My Summer of Love' and am feeling just downright pissed.

Firstly, and most loudly. CAN WE STOP WITH THE FUCKING PSYCHO GAY PEOPLE ALREADY!!!!!!!

Holy shit people! This isn't the fucking 1950s! We're supposed to have grown up a bit since then and realised that being gay is not actually a mental illness!

If it was just that film, I wouldn't have minded. It was okay as a film, if disjoined and the acting was pretty bad. It had great use of colour and interesting relationships otherwise. But no, you look at all the films out nowdays, and all the gay characters are either mad or unhappy (the last is in deference to Brokeback Mountain more than anything else). Posidon- The guy was threatening suicide.  Little Miss Sunshine- The guy actually tried to commit suicide. I could go on, but fuck, my blood pressure's high enough as it is. What is the media saying here? Being gay is bad and you die sad and unhappy and alone! (because nothing actually gets better for any of these characters) Right. Please line up the directors, because I have a sharp katana which has a date with their balls (or lack of them).

Oh yes, and while you're at it, line up the leaders of the religious reich, because I'd like to castrate them too while I'm at it.

Sorry, that was very little about the film, but I needed to rant.

I agree with you. I would like to see movies/shows with gay people acting very natural and healthy, and people trrating them normally, as if thier sexuality was not an issue at all. I think this is what really is needed to help normalize society's view of alternative lifestyles.

I wanted to watch My Summer of Love but I don't have a TV at the moment.

Was it really bad?

What a rant! And quite an argument for writing happy ends. The katana I mean ;>)

Maybe it's supposed to be critical of the repulsion of homosexuality by society... Maybe they want to show people what their discriminating behaviour causes...
Maybe. I don't want to defend them. Honestly, I've got no idea what the producers/scrptwriters are thinking. (Haven't watched most of the movies either.)
Hey, get that katana off me!

I totally agree with you on this . . . Same happens in yaoi/yuri. It's usually never a happy ending or they have to add something gross to make me squick.
