Should I go fishing or get a friend to hang around? Celebrated GAY Summer 2012

cruel intentions is great and also has joshua jackson as a louche bleached-blond gay drug dealer. i've never seen wild things though, i don't think

never saw CI, liked Wild Things but then I have a taste for raw Bacon.

also WT has Theresa Russell and Bill Murray, whaddya want

i'm in the "seen CI, never seen WT" camp as well

i don't think gay guys are exempt from feeling some form of desire to raise children, which is maybe an obvious statement but eh, ok. i kinda think it's maybe more cultural than biological for most people but our culture likes to pretend a uterus makes you crazy and that a woman's mind is simply at the mercy of the rest of her biology.

my bf and his best friend (bi/f) made a plan to co-parent a kid together if they were both single at 27. that didn't happen and THANK GOD for that.

right now on melrose place jake and allison are expecting and allison is freaking out, all the change is too fast for her

but jake is all ready for it!

remember when Grant Show was supposed to be hot

he's very sweet

I never did watch Melrose or Dawson or 90210

ugh that COVER.

(Side note: I'm shamed to say I think it was certain photo spreads in EW that convinced me beyond the shadow of a doubt that I was gay. Though not that MP one.)

post!

I did watch DC, but largely out of fascination with JvdB's giant mailbox head.

LOL nostalgia.

Surm, rank DC, MP, 90210, and Po5

And any other 90s teen dramas I'm forgetting

stevie, do you not qualify MSCL as a 90s teen drama, or is it just in a league of its own?

90210 MP Po5 DC

(duh)

MSCL is obv in a league of its own; it doesn't seem as, I don't know, needlessly melodramatic or frivolous as those 4

"I miss Minneapolis."

MSCL was, however fitfully, trying to depict real teenagers played (mostly) by teenagers.

I possibly had the same experience as Eric re: EW photo spreads. For me, it was the '93 Marky Mark profile, I'm not unashamed to admit.

That one was definitely in the mix. I seem to remember an Antonio Sabato, um, piece as well.

Don't remember that one, and my fam subscribed from about 92 on through most of the decade.

Was gonna amend my previous statement to something about watching The Pirate Movie and The Blue Lagoon a couple years prior to Marky Mark in EW, but that was more like just planting the seeds.

There was an illustration of Beck in the EW Best of '94 issue that I found alluring (huge image):

Not the point of the convo at all, but I always thought David Browne was a pretty great critic. Wonder where he writes now.

xpost Yeah, I remember that one. Looks kinda Pomplamoosey in retrospect.

Don't like that Browne referred to Erotica as an iceberg. Or, rather, didn't like that he didn't get that that was partly the point.

I seem to remember an Antonio Sabato, um, piece as well.

OMG he was on melrose
SO FUCKIN HOT

My bf always hated EW solely because of that Erotica review (his favorite album). What's funny is that around 93-94 Browne wrote a piece where he revisited some of his older opinions and he talks about how he now realized how much he underrated that particular record.

tbh i underrated it at the time of its release too

I think everyone did.

i was a SPIN subscriber around the time i "realized" and...well, it played a part

haha, I tried to remember what Erotica was, and concluded it was her dirty photo book.

No pics online of the shirtless college boys who cut my apartment complex's lawn in the mid '70s, alas.

that EW "Legends" issue from summer '93 was responsible for my discovering a bunch of film classics.

There was a top 50 directors issue a year or two later that actually really kicked off my film school period.

And I'm sure I also took their pic of Alfred Hitchcock with me into the bathroom.

Are Morbs and me the only two participants on this thread that DON'T contribute to the Singles Jukebox?

i don't. i've never really written about music anywhere

(for which you should all be thankful)

I feel like I write about new music more than I would like, and yet I love the format and want to be a part of it.

You totally should. I sometimes think about jumping back in -- I haven't contributed in a couple of years.

You jump, I jump, right?

I don't contribute but it's pretty much the only website I read regularly

That and friendblogs

i don't. WORDS ARE USELESS. ESPECIALLY SENTENCES.

how can they explain how i feel about maroon 5
