One you've surely heard of (Fire Island, which I'll get to later) — and the other was Benedictn, a film that barely seemed to register spe beg helmed by one of our great queer filmmakers, Terence (who directed Rachel Weisz and Cynthia Nixon to arguably their greatt performanc The Deep Blue Sea and A Quiet Passn, rpectively) utiliz a bpic of Brish poet and rated WWI bat veteran Siegied Sassoon (played by Jack Lown his youth and Peter Capaldi olr age) to offer a wdow to the dramatic liv of aristocratic gay men the 1920s. This is where I firmly stand, generally: was an extremely funny, often very sightful movie that served better than was & QueerCome at , Bros: Billy Eichner opens up about his big gay Hollywood rom (that's very, very good)I saw twice 24 hours, and was thoroughly entertaed and ocsnally very moved both tim. Fire IslandWhat more uld you possibly ask for than a loose, queer adaptatn of Pri and Prejudice that's set at the hedonistic gay vatn statn of s tle and featur an all-LGBTQ st pl plenty of sex, dgs and Marisa Tomei-imprsns?

I didn’t want to dimish “the first major stud movie wrten by and starrg a gay man” or spoil s Rotten Tomato sre or dance on the grave of s box-office prospects.

I certaly didn’t want to attack the star of “Billy on the Street” and “Difficult People, ” two of the most succsful screen adaptatns of the gay sensibily recent memory. ”Do that make too the “homophobic weirdos” of Eichner’s nfoundg post-bomb tweet spiral or simply the silent Benedict Arnolds of his self-proclaimed march to the history books? It is emently ldable that Eichner has ma a sexually ank stud edy featurg two gay men, and that he sisted, as wgman/-star/-producer Guy Branum not, on an all-LGBTQ st.
