skull_bearerooI 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.

Hey, get that katana off me!
