Review of "2 Minutes Later"

I would never expect or ask anyone to see a film they don't want to see. I hate, for example, all horror films and all sad movies. I wouldn't like it if you tried to get me to see one, and so I'd never try to get you to see a film that contained a male/male love scene.

However, when you say:

There's a reason the lesbians go into one theatre and the gay men into another. I say let's leave well enough alone.

you're going way beyond saying what YOU like. You're extending this into a lesbian thing, a principle, something all lesbians share.

Many lesbians like or don't mind male/male love or sex scenes. Some lesbians are actually particularly into them. I count myself in the first group, but I know lots of lesbians in the second group.

So please, continue to speak for yourself and I'll defend your right to see what you want, like what you want. But don't try to imply that what you want is what all lesbians want, or what you don't like is what all lesbians don't like, or that we "should" or "shouldn't" like certain things in films. It's nothing more than a personal preference on your part, and has nothing to do what other lesbians do or don't like in a movie or TV show.

There is a reason why lesbians tend to go into one theatre and gay men into another, but at least for this lesbian, it isn't because i don't want to see "boy on boy action." In fact, on occasion, I have been known to enjoy seeing romantic and sexual relationships between men unfold on the screen or in writing.   Rather, if i tend to go into one theatre over another, it is because I want to see films featuring lesbian characters, and in the past, that has meant films primarily featuring only lesbian characaters. 

I applaud the writer of "2 minutes Later" for choosing to feature both a lesbian and gay man as the two leads in a film, and presenting them both as fully sexualized human beings. 

 I respect your right not to enjoy seeing two men together on screen, but would appreciate it if you would not present your feelings on the subject as representative of all lesbians.  

 Hopefully there will always be a creative few who choose to go against the norm, and are never content to "leave well enough alone."

The problem with this way of thinking is that it's just what straight people want to hear.  Whether or not it's your particular preference, your desire to keep things separate plays right into the way the straight community views most things gay.  Keep them separate, keep them away from us, and it just gets worse day by day.

I for one would love to see this film.  The overall premise is appealing, and I'm not particular about who is getting any.  Male, female, it's all good.  Just let it be hot, and above all else, don't bore me.  JMO, NOM

I take umbrage with your broad and sweeping statement that that's why lesbians and gays part ways at the movie theater.  Like Christie, I, too, enjoy man-on-man sex if the people are particularly likeable.  I, like her, am a fan of QAF, also a fan of Noah's Arc, but also a fan of the L Word.  I know that you're entitled to your opinion, but you seem so closed minded about people making a connection, whoever they  might be. 

By the way, and I'm not trying to pick a fight, but it's Demi and also whoopee.

Stay well, my dear.  And remember to love all those around you. *bg*
