I just came downstairs to see my roommate’s friend (who I know) watching my _Another Gay Movie_ DVD. Of all the movies I’ve ever seen, AGM is the one that I couldn’t imagine anyone outside of its narrow target audience watching. I always fantasized (not sexually) about “challenging” a straight male to watch it just to see if he could handle the explicit content, and now I get to stumble across someone volunteering on his own. First words to me when I see him and what he’s watching - “Man…this is some gay shit”. “Why would you say something that obvious as if you didn’t see the title?” “I thought it was going to like _Another Teen Movie_ or something” “It is” “But I didn’t think it was really going to be that gay. I mean this is gay… This is really really gay…” “It’s probably the gayest movie ever” (In fact the director stated that that was his intention in making it) “I don’t doubt it. I’m glad I’m so secure - because this movie is _funny as shit_!” Ah, so it does have outside appeal. “Heh, really? Did you see the part where the teacher was trying to shove a giant dildo up the main character’s butt, and he was like: ‘NO! NO! NO! No. no…no…yes…yes…yes! Yes! Oh YES!’” “_Oh yeah!_ Ha ha ha!” I guess a fan of spoofs is a fan of spoofs. ---

Ah…another gay sunshine day. Nico was extremely annoying but overall the movie was pretty solidly funny. And damn, James Getzlaff from “Boy Meets Boy” is _hawt_. He always came off like such a goddy goody on the show too. ---

All in all, a really fun twist on the spoof genre, but I still can’t get the images of a naked Richard Hatch, and Graham Norton as a leather daddy out of my mind. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] And damn, James Getzlaff from “Boy Meets Boy” is _hawt_. He always came off like such a goddy goody on the show too. [/QUOTE] Ain’t nobody gonna call you a liar on that one. I don’t know if you could break a stick on that boy’s ass but I’d sure like to find out (though I still think Wes was hotter from that series- and that fag-hag friend of his, lord, I still have nightmares). My favorite part of the movie (other than glorious gratuitous male on male nudity) was the fact they not only used the same mom from _Edge of Seventeen_ as Nico’s mom (same director did both) but had the same “sitting at the piano/confrontation” scene, only with slightly different outcomes. (“OF COURSE YOU’RE GAY! I’ve known that since you dressed as Karen Black from _Airport 75_ when you were three!”) This was a major event for all of us who were teenagers through years of straight-boy aimed _Porkys_ and “horny kids go to the beach” movies. And one of the hottest scenes is in the deleted moments- when Griff and Jarod are in nekkid afterglow. “Bubble Butt! Bubble Butt! Bubble Butt!” ---

I’m always surprised by who rents this. Yes, mostly gay men, but about every 5th or 6th person who brings it to the counter is outside that demo. ---

[QUOTE=Sampiro] …though I still think Wes was hotter from that series… [/quote] I dunno, it’s hard to tell. I think I’ll have to see Wes engaged in some naked simulated sex before I can make up my mind. > [@Sampiro](#): > > My favorite part of the movie (other than glorious gratuitous male on male nudity) was the fact they not only used the same mom from _Edge of Seventeen_ as Nico’s mom (same director did both) but had the same “sitting at the piano/confrontation” scene, only with slightly different outcomes. (“OF COURSE YOU’RE GAY! I’ve known that since you dressed as Karen Black from _Airport 75_ when you were three!”) Loved Eo17 so of course recognized the scene (but not that it was the same Mom). Didn’t have as strong a reaction to it as you did, either the original or the parody. > [@Sampiro](#): > > And one of the hottest scenes is in the deleted moments- when Griff and Jarod are in nekkid afterglow. Didn’t see any deleted scenes; I watched it on here!. I may have to invest in the DVD now. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] I dunno, it’s hard to tell. I think I’ll have to see Wes engaged in some naked simulated sex before I can make up my mind. [/QUOTE] Ran into him in a bar in Palm Springs last year. He’s quite a good looking guy in person. I watched NAGM with my SO and his mom and stepdad. Now that was funny. Though I really didn’t need to see Richard Hatch without the censoring fuzz. ---

I’m straight and saw it. My girlfriend’s gay best friend suggested it, and we watched it together. I thought it was hilarious, especially the Richard Hatch bits. If you enjoyed that movie, I’d also reccomend Adam and Steve. ---

[QUOTE=pizzabrat] I always fantasized (not sexually) about “challenging” a straight male to watch it just to see if he could handle the explicit content [/QUOTE] I’m straight and i’m pretty sure I could handle it. I watched every episode of the original British “Queer as Folk” 2 or 3 times because I thought it was a superb programme. Straight porn doesn’t do anything for me and I don’t think gay porn would upset me.
