Great news, gay cinephiles! LogoTV snapped up a compelling catalog of gay movies and has made them available for free online streaming! (Sorry international folks, we only have U.S. distribution rights, so like so much else these days, these are geo-blocked.)
Now these are small indie films, so while they all have gay storylines and most feature cute male casts, not all of them are cinematic gems. But hey, on the whole they don’t suck!
Some of them are actually pretty good. In fact, we count five that made our reader ranked list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies: Eating Out 2 (#85), Adam & Steve (#79), Eating Out (#56), Boy Culture (#36) and Latter Days (#5).
In Latter Days a young and promiscuous gay man sets his sights on seducing his Mormon missionary neighbor. The resulting affair changes both their lives. The film stars Wes Ramsey and Steve Sandvoss and also has Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a supporting role.

One of our favorite mantras around the AfterElton offices is “because visibility matters.” Indeed, the idea that gay and bisexual men need to be visible, both to ourselves and to the wider culture, is one of the principle reasons AfterElton.com even exists. After all, it is only by being visible to family, friends and the world that we’ve been able to overcome the stereotypes and bigotry used to justify discrimination against the Glbt community.
That quest for visibility explains why we have done so many polls including the AfterElton Hot 100, the Fifty Greatest Gay Movies, the Top 50 Gay TV Characters, and the 50 Best Gay Books. After all, it’s not as if Entertainment Weekly is going to ask gay and bisexual men which guys we think are the hottest, which movies mean the most to us or, in the case of our latest poll, which celebrities we most admire.

Who can doubt that face?
Sometimes, it's best to say through song. And Eating Out: All You Can Eat's Chris Salvatore gives a message to teenagers that yes, "It Gets Better." And this message will fit on an iPod, when you need a moment of reassurance, when times look tough.
Next page: Some smiling pictures of Chris, including an album cover if you want to check out more of his music.
Changeable eyes.
Boyish Charm.
Beautiful body.
And talent enough for singles.
And even for albums.

Now that he mentions it, I totally see the resemblance.
Here at Twitterwatch, we try and bring you celebrity news straight from the celebrity's diamond-encrusted Blackberry, unfiltered. We also try and string together a coherent narrative with a lot of different celebrities over the course of a week, to varying degrees of success. This week, we're not even trying, because these folks are all over the map, so hang on and enjoy the ride.
Brett Claywell isn't nearly as prolific a Tweeter now that he's in Los Angeles with all the big time celebrities. But he gets some good ones in, mostly about the celebrities he meets. And as you can see at the top he's right - Kris Allen has more than a passing resemblance to Brett.
But it doesn't matter that Brett is on the west coast, and his television hubby Scott Evans is on the east coast,...

Sierra Rose - you're getting so big!
Here at Twitterwatch, we don't really celebrate Father's Day. The common theory is that we evolved from a cockroach exposed to some toxic sludge in the Blungeon™. But lots of celebrities had something to say on Father's Day, and not all of it was the saccharine, "Thanks Dad!" stuff that makes your teeth hurt.
Our favorite gay dad, Scott Evans, thought about the fact that his signature character, Oliver Fish, would be celebrating his very first Father's Day (offscreen of course). He wondered if he'd get any well wishes from his onscreen hubby or the baby momma, which I think requires a Ouija board, not Twitter.
Brett Claywell didn't seem all that interested in Father's Day, but he may have been distracted. I know that when people insist on sticking me with needles, I'm lucky to remain conscious, much less shop for Hallmark cards.

A movie franchise is like a shark. For it to stay alive, it has to move forward. It’s a lesson that the Eating Out franchise would do well to learn.
I liked 2004’s Eating Out a lot. The campy gay sex farce was downright revolutionary coming after decades of earnest, angsty coming out dramas (and two years before Another Gay Movie).
2006’s Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds wasn’t as successful, but it wasn’t a disaster.
But Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat, now playing in limited release, is the weakest entry in the series so far. It’s not that parts of it aren’t funny. It’s just that the movie takes absolutely no chances, choosing instead to change a few details and repeat what came before in the first two movies.

This week's releases arrive draped in a pervasive air of dissatisfaction -- Chris Rock's daughter is unhappy with her hair, a '70s feminist movement is unhappy with their options, and Jason Ritter and Jess Weixler are unhappy with each other. Elsewhere, British cultural icons are talked up while global corporate interests are torn down.

"After The Storm"
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Oscar-winning filmmaker and activist James Lecesne's decision to bring a production of the Off-Broadway musical "Once on This Island" to the storm-ravaged city of New Orleans was both obvious and inspired, with an extra layer of resonance provided in the casting of local kids affected firsthand by the disaster. Captured by director Hilla Medalia, this documentary takes us behind the scenes of the production to follow 12 young actors...
