donuts at the finish line
So there's been some discussion of the movie, Shortbus, by John Cameron Mitchell of Hedwig and the Angry Inch fame. Especially because our very own The Obstreperous Ms. J makes an appearance.
What did folks think about it? If you already loved Mitchell and Hedwig and are firmly in the camp that exaults him as a cult classic god, did Shortbus live up?
If it was your first time--heh--what did you think of it?
My short take:
I caught it this weekend and totally loved it. It will definately be on the short list of movies I'd like to own. I liked the stories and the characters. I felt them, and that was a nice surprise. The sex that all the reviewers talked about was there, but that really wasn't what the movie was about. It was about the people. Oh, joy! *clasps hands in happiness!*
