...and the rest of what's left

they're not showing brokeback mountain

you know you're starting to like where you live when you try to regularly attend community events. starting this friday, to continue the tradition i started last year, i am watching three films at the XXe festival du film gay et lesbien de bruxelles (20th brussels gay and lesbian film festival). the festival will be held from 12-21 january at the cinemas of the lovely centre culturel du botanique (botanique cultural centre). visit their site to know more about the festival (in french). and yes as the title said, they are not showing brokeback mountain. tough luck.

films from non-english speaking countries will be subtitled in french which is unfortunate for me because my knowledge of the language is as good as my swahili. instead, i'll console myself to watch films from the US or the UK.

darn, i wanted so much to watch summerstorm.

lucky they're showing transamerica which i read is good. i am also watching 29 ans et gay (29 and gay) because for a gay man who's 27, i want to see what's in store for me in the future (not!). for the dyke in me, i'm going for mrs. stevens hears the mermaids sing. i heard it's artsy without being too fartsy.

tomorow, i'm off to the festival. and no, i'm not even trying to hook up with someone there. i will be definitely going just for the films. yeah. i will. believe me. i promise.

this is marc's version of the truth, sometime at 12:36 PM if you can't live with it, he can.
