So unbelievably gay

Okay, before I get into the terribly campy movie review I just have to start with this bit -

I have now seen not 1 but 2 entirely different ads for 'dungeon' music CDs. I giggled for like 10 minutes at the last one. Now, instead of sullying your own music collection you can buy porno music for when you have your slave tied up and you're deciding whether to whip him red or pee on him. How can you not laugh at this?

Anyway - Apparently I am a huge liar because now that we have the Logo channel I find I'm watching it for at least an hour pretty much every day. Queer As Folk is our weekly soap now, and we're trying to keep up with Noah's Arc. But what really got my attention today was Party Monster.

Oh yeah, do I love this movie. Watching Mac Culkin and Seth Green queening it up for 2 hours is so fucking funny. This is now the 3rd time I've seen it, and I think I may have to buy the disc because I can't get enough.

The hubby is entirely thrilled that Superstar DJ Keoki is portrayed by Wilmer Valderrama (you know, the foreign kid on That 70s Show). I am entirely thrilled that Angel the drug dealer is played by Wilson Cruz. He is so cute when he sneers "I want my money!" you just wanna hug the little thug and pinch his cheeks.

Among my many peculiar fascinations is the drug movie genre. Love 'em! There is nothing more fun than watching people do crazy shit and then fall apart in a crying miserable heap of drug addled hell. "Sid! What about the farewell drugs?!" And this movie so delivers. Party madness and wild music, crazy set designs, breaking the audience barrier, overdoses and rehab. I was in heaven.

So, needless to say, if you love tacky wacky movies you must see Party Monster.

Agreed! Party monster is a barrel of laughs! and a barrel of monkeys...and a barrel of...hmmm...uhhh...raving delights? I thought McCauly was the best! By the way if you've been keeping up with America's Top Model this season you would have seen a cameo about 2 or 3 episodes by non other than James St. James. What a fucking trainwreck! I just spent a few mins looking for a pic, sorry, couldn't find it. He's wearing a full body leather and rubber getup ala Pinhead but less stylish.

There's also the documentary of the same name "starring" the real people in the film. I haven't seen it yet, but it was made after Michael killed Angel, so it probably doesn't feature all that much partying.

Yeah I've seen the ads for it. I may catch it eventually, and I suppose I should read the book.
