Current views Tivo recently arrived at our house, the same time as one of the housemates decided to expand our lives with a full-on premium cable package. Needless to say life on Haight Street hasn't been quite the same ever since - and I've been catching a veritable plethora of programs that I've written entries about here, but had never had the opportunity to see before, catching great shows like Brini Maxwell, pictured, and Little Britain, not to mention that I've been able to see an array of queer films. Tonight I watched Madame Sata, a Brazillian historical feature about a drag cabaret performer in the 1930's that killed a man filled with homophobic hatred for her. It was actually something of a disappointment. I also watched a Japanese film called Hush!, pictured, about a mentally unstable woman who asks this gay guy to father her child. The dynamics surrounding families of choice are quite often interesting enough, and most definitely so in another culture. Gay film director Ryosuke Hashiguchi delivered something that seemed more like a documentary at times than a fictional screenplay about a gay couple living together who are forced to question the issue of family in mapping a life for themselves, while defending their choices. A good film with real characters living real lives with their own very real flaws.�[Date: 10-Jul-05 ]
