Iposted this video on MySpacefour years ago, and the issue focuses on two young men, Danny and Mark who have been friends all their lives until one day they find themselves in the awkward position of saying goodbye to one another.
While many may argue that there's already too many films where one guy comes out and destroys a friendship - it still happens. It still happens because our society allows it to happen. Yes, it's getting easier and easier to come out as each year passes, but there are millions who are still keeping this tiny little secret - and some way into their marriages. The film, written and directed by Bill Taylor is really good, and I encourage anyone to watch it.
I never really liked the movie Brokeback Mountain, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. I guess being a gay man I should have, but it just didn't do anything for me. Hell, I have more straight friends than gay ones who loved the movie more than Ryan or myself. I don't know, maybe I need to watch it again or something.
In either case, the reason for this post is.... I came across a fan-made video of the movie with Adele's song, "Someone Like You" used as the backdrop. And I'd have to say I was drawn to it, hence the reason for my blog title, Heartbreak Mountain. You have to watch it to understand what I'm talking about.
YouTube Description: This is a challenge I set to myself, making a video unrelated to my previous ones and this song by Adele seemed like perfect for the story of Jack and Ennis from Brokeback Mountain.
Brokeback Mountain won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was honored with Best Picture and Best Director accolades from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Golden Globe Awards, Producers Guild of America, Critics Choice Awards, and Independent Spirit Awards among many other organizations and festivals.
In the end, no matter who you love, the feelings are the same.
My special thanks to my dear friend Yellowbee for support! :)

Name one adult film actor you'd want to play with. No? Really...name one.
Ninety percent of you would probably say, Sean Paul Lockhart.
He's better known as Brent Corrigan to all you gay boys, and straight ones who've always been curious.
I can honestly say, I've watched every film he's made, from amateur to professional, and boy does he deliver. He has also starred in several well-known gay movies from "Milk," "Another Gay Sequel," to "The Big Gay Musical," and countless others I was not aware he was in.
In either case, I'm not going to lie... I've had a crush on him since forever. He is so freaking delicious.
Turning 26 in October, Sean has been trying to cross over from adult to professional film acting for quite some time, but this is something very difficult to accomplish. Fortunately for him, due to some very good reviews on the upcoming release of Judas Kiss, Lockhart has managed to garner a lot of attention. Especially from Michael Hinman who gives a spoiler-free review that you can check out here.
"They say that porn stars can't act, and from what I hear from people who watch porn, that's definitely true.
But there are always exceptions, and Lockhart is one of them. He is making some serious efforts to cross over to mainstream film. While his role in "Another Gay Sequel" as a merboy might have shown he can stretch his legs a little bit, his portrayal of fellow film student Chris Wachowsky proves that with some more training, he could really make a run for it.
Sadly, his past will always haunt him and cost him work. It's a horrible double-standard in my opinion. Actors like Colin Ferrell can "accidentally" release hardcore sex tapes with the production values that a dead person could top, yet he continues to work. Why can't that go both ways ... especially if you have the talent to do it.
I was impressed with Lockhart's work in the film. And there's something about him that really draws you into a scene."

Yay!!! I'm so excited for the 4th installment of Eating Out!!
Eating Out: Drama Camp brings back the unbelievably gorgeous Chris Salvatore, and Daniel Skelton in their respective roles, Zack & Casey. The movie will also introduce us to a whole new crop of delicious man-meat, including "Make Me a Supermodel" contestant Ronnie Kroell as Beau, and "Big Brother's" Steven Daigle as Connor.
My partner, Ryan doesn't like these movies, but I simply adore them! Yes, Q. Allan Brocka doesn't spend $500,0000 to make an Oscar-winning movie, but who cares! “Shakespere didn’t have cum shots.” He's playing to us gays, and I absolutely commend him for it! Though, most straight people do love watching gay movies, and gay shows.
This next movie, will haveZack & Casey enrolling in Dick Dickey's Drama Camp, where you guessed it... drama ensues. When Casey finds out Zack has been cast in the show, "The Taming of the Shrew," alongside Benji (whom he despises), Casey takes matters into his own hands, literally :-). Does this spell "The End" for Zack & Casey? We'll have to wait and see...
If you could make anyone fall in love with anybody you desired, would you? And if said object of affection did happen to fall in love with you on account of (minor) interference with free-will, could you still call it love? An interesting dilemma indeed, yet one ultimately reserved to the realm of fantasy... in this case Were the World Mine protagonist Timothy's fantasy.
Ryan and I had the pleasure purchasing and watching this movie 2 years ago, and glad to say it's part of our DVD collection. We've watched it countless times, and as you may have guessed, the scenes used in both these clips originate from Tom Gustafson'saward winning film. If you like gay movies and musicals, Were the World Mine is available on DVD and also can be directly downloaded using iTunes or Amazon's video-on-demand service.
I would suggest to anyone that has a gay child, or knows of a gay child that may be facing the same challenges as Bobby to watch this movie and open your hearts to them, we are people and deserve to be loved UNCONDITIONALLY.
Ryan and I are so glad we bought this DVD... One of the best in our collection.
As Ryan and I watched the movie, PRAYERS FOR BOBBY, tears streamed down our faces. I think this could possibly be the only movie I've ever watched where I've gone through an entire box of tissues from crying for more than an hour. I can remember countless times growing up as a child where I had thoughts of suicide; how I wanted to just escape from all the hatred and shame that I would have done so by taking my own life. The only reason I didn't do it was because I knew it would hurt people. Just watching Bobby, knowing where he walked and where he danced, I have been there; to be so afraid of whom I was due to people’s thoughts and ideas - either from their church, family or friends.
I came out to my parents at the age of 24, and though it was difficult at first and took a little while for their acceptance, their love never wavered. I remember telling my sister, and she not even flinching….. Thus making her my best friend and the best sister I could ask for. ** I love you Vicky**
I consider my self very fortunate; I have been with my boyfriend, Ryan for 5-1/2 years and my parents continue to support me in whatever decisions I make in life. They treat Ryan as one of the family, as well as his parents treat me as a second son. I feel that the movie really let people know what ignorance can do. I feel that if more people were accepting of their gay children this world would be a much happier place. Being accepting and loving your child does not mean you have to understand, but just love them for who they are. It’s not a choice - anyone who lives in this world as a gay individual will tell you.
Why would anyone choose to be this way when we face hatred, disgust, and prejudice every day? I didn't wake up one morning, and say, “Oh, I think I’ll be gay today”, just to be hurt in the process.
My heart went out to Bobby, because I can relate to how he was feeling. I lost a very dear friend much the same way because his family did not accept nor love him because he was gay. If we as a society can change, then maybe one day we will be treated equally. We can only hope that the ones who hate us so much can change their views on how they believe.
I don't know what waits for us when we die. I don't know how God will judge us. And I don't know what God will judge about us. But I do know that I was born with the ability to love. I do know that I didn't choose who to love. And I do know that love, no matter what its circumstances are, is NOT a crime.
I seriously want to give Sigourney Weaver and Ryan Kelley both a big hug; they did such a fantastic job in this movie, it truly warms my heart to know that people care, and fight for us.
Thanks to those who had a part in bringing this movie to life. And thank you Mary Griffith for all you've done, I have no doubt that wherever Bobby is right now, he is proud of everything you've accomplished and everything you fight for. Please see the trailer below:
So what does a young vampire need to do in order for him and his brood of vampires to survive? Ummm... I don't know, suck somebody else's blood and turn them into a vampire? Yes.
And where else would you find young, delicious meals?
Ummm... Los Angeles? Yes!
Sure it's a little cheesy, but they're hot, c'mon. Buy your copy of Vampire Boys on March 8, 2011.
