Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

One of the reasons I don't care for GLAAD, (the Gay and Lesbian media watchdog group) is that they so often just don't get it.

They look down when they should be looking up. They censor when they should let go. They criticise before they know the outcome. Case in point; they got a TV show pulled last year because it involved a homophobic guy who didn't want gay people living in his neighborhood. The show got cancelled but I read, in the end, the homophobe had a change of heart and they all lived happily ever after. I don't know the details exactly cause GLAAD protected me from having it on my television set. Thank God they are policing the airwaves so I won't be subjected to idiots who don't like gay people.

Take a memo GLAAD: Censorship in LA and NY scares me alot more than homophobia in the heartland. And yes I'm gay and yes I'm proud and yes I've been gay-bashed.

GLAAD celebrates movies that illustrate the pain and anguish of being gay. But when a truly important movie comes out like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, they completely ignore it.

Shane Black and Val Kilmer should be given GLAAD Media Awards at the end of the year but I promise you, they won't even be mentioned.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a huge leap forward for Hollywood. Val Kilmer plays one of the leads, a gay guy, in this big budget action movie by the creator of the Lethal Weapon movies and the homosexuality is no big deal. No one cares. He's gay, he's macho, he's intelligent, he shoots a gun, he's sexy and he's the star of the fucking movie and not one gay person i know has even mentioned this film.

Is it my favorite movie of the year? No.

Is it the most important gay movie of the year. Absolutely!

Brokeback Mountain wll be showered with awards and reinforce the stereotype that gay people live quiet lives of desperation.

It's an old story that I'm tired of hearing.

But for gays, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the truly important event movie this year because the homosexuality in it is such a non-event! Kudos to Shane Black and Val Kilmer.
