I received a copy of Wilder Girls from Random House Children's through Netgalley.

This book is horrible and gorgeous. Such strong elements of body horror and passion.

I loved every minute of this book and even more delighted with how very gay it all is.

I was very lucky and won this dvd in a competition (: so here is my review.

I enjoyed this film, especially trying to work out who Simon’s email friend Blue is. I found the characters quite relatable, particularly when Simon acted like any normal teenager and became far too wrapped up in his own life to be a good friend.

I love that this film deals with being gay and how it is perceived and has a gay lead instead of some side character to try and be PC.

I enjoyed the storyline and development throughout the film, especially the ending, who doesn’t love it when everyone is happy.

Movie Favorite

"[It] would have to be up there for sheer enthusiasm. I love it for a million reasons. It’s just such a celebration. But I think I also — god not to sound like too much of a shrink — I grew up in a family with lots of divorces and things. Growing up, the first couple I knew that were really, truly like Disney movie in love and devoted to each other was a gay couple. And then one of them died — of AIDS — and I remember I was so young; I was in junior high when it happened. It was still at a time when gay culture was so judged and so reviled in so many places. The movie was such a celebration of song and dance, but also of a gay lifestyle, and it was a beautiful thing to see at that point in my life. For there to be something out there in pop culture that was celebrating and not apologizing [for] all of that — I just thought it was brilliant."

A Joke of a Movie In a Good Way
I didn't really care to see this movie but it was available for me to watch so I watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was smart and clever in all the funny ways it needed to be. Both the writers and producers obviously did their research on romantic comedies to make the joke really stretch long but not seem forced. The writers made sure every cliché was there and made them extremely funny in reality, The gay sidekick cliché in this movie is my favorite because in the reality of the main character its just her next-door neighbor she knows nothing about I didn't even realize he was gay because he doesn't look like a stereotypical gay man. The soundtrack is what pulls this whole joke together though because every sappy great love song from every sappy great romcom wraps this movie in a pretty bow. If you want to laugh along with this cast at the stupidity behind romantic comedies this is the film for you because it is stupid funny.

The Daddy of Gay Visual Novels
Coming Out on Top is a visual novel about Mark Matthews (who's kind of a weenie), college senior, newly out of the closet. Guide him through his last semester of school and through various sexual misadventures. There are several characters you can develop a "romance" with, and the storylines are not always obvious. You have to learn the characters motives to get them to like you. Other times, it feels more random. However, there is a good variety of characters for you to meet and romance.

(And the art is pretty sexy. Something for everyone, I think.)

modern dramedy
This show, more than anything currently depicting millennial relationships (gay, lesbian, and straight) feels real. I see myself and the people I know reflected in these characters.
Everything, from setting/costumes/filming, is basic...authentic. Williamson doesn't have anything hiding behind clever tricks and presents an emotionally intricate piece of art.

Book Favorite

"I'm not really a fan of biographies, or of Francis Bacon's art. So why do I love this book? It brings mid-20th century gay London to life. And it helps me understand why people appreciate Bacon's work so deeply, even if I still can't say I'd hang his paintings on my living room wall."

"No, not vampires; the late William Gay unfortunately didn't anticipate the world takeover of Bella and Edward when he named his backwoods Tennessee gothic novel, but it is no less a stunning web of Cormac McCarthy-esque necrophilia, murder, spot-on rural dialogue, and haunting renditions of nature. He is my new favorite writer."
