  1. We'll just need to get together and have a film festival. I'll show you mine, you can show me yours, and we'll both enjoy what we have in common - films, that is! *EG*

  2. Billy Elliot was not a gay film, really. Billy wasn't gay, nor were the other lead characters. "Gay" was used as the fear factor.
    Thanks for the visit and comment.
