Homo for the Holidays...
Have I mentioned how I hate going home to Bagley Wisconsin for the holidays, my hometown of 317 people (316 after I moved, they just haven't changed the population sign)! But that's not what I'm blogging about (that'll come AFTER the holidays). This is about the gay themed movies that have been released for the holidays.
Starting with the RENT, Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera turned movie musical. Released on Thanksgiving, I'm giving thanks that it may soon be off the big screen and on the little disc where I may consider Netflix-ing it! Of course, there is one good thing with the movie: 
Yes, Idina Menzel (oh wait, what I really meant to say was Taye Diggs!) Ok, so maybe they met in the original Broadway Cast of RENT, and maybe they got married. I'm still hoping that there's a chance that I can "get my groove back" with Taye! You can see RENT at select Minneapolis theatres... let me suggest dinner and a movie! Dinner at one of my favorites (and the oldest bar/restaurant in Minneapolis) Pracna and then the show at the St. Anthony Main Theatre. And check this out... RENT is into blogging too: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/rent/blog/.
Bum ba dee da, bum ba dee da... happy trails to you... until we meet again... If only I could meet Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger on some happy trail wearing Wranglers and a cowboy hat! Of course, the movie I speak of is Brokeback Mountain. I saw this quote in the synopsis and thought what a perfect quote "Ultimately, the one constant in their lives is a force of nature – love." 
Finally, I don't have to read Louis L'Amour and fantasize about gay cowboys! Let's face it, Louis just doesn't do much for most of us! And I know where I'm going to see it first!!! Where all self-respecting gay men will first see it, the Walker Art Center! I'll see you there on Sunday evening, December 11 at 7:30pm the Walker Art Center.
love tim, the homo on the range
